Marriage requires the fulfilment ef several conditions. ix order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in hew many could
It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointmeata. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, whoa
abased, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less imjury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are prOductive of greater severity if misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account ef the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, aid of
their relative conditions in health and disease. it deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation ef the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
1 In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
Irons their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear ef ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, Java-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
'Pubalistentistbeyr-throewA;
certify. and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost ,
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
