along continued success is the best criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devoted our 'PradlCe to the'ex-
clusive treatment of two Disorders; and the ste::cessftil result
Of our Plan gives us additional ardour to oppose was far as. we

iiiiportant in the catalogue of Human Infirmities.. .
Alter init:ation into ever' Branch of Practice, we,contem-
plated the sufferings of SIPHYLITIC and DEI3ILL,

The Disorders; to the cure of which we have devoted.our

quently happens, that the seeds of Life are poisoned by. the
indiscretion of ari unguarded hour. By a superior method,
such Complaints. are easii}y cured, and even .where others

pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy ,stifferer broods over his misery; but,
fatefully conceals his misfortune, it may he ome'consola-

the acquirement of our experience. • . ,
If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begin to reduce
manly vigour, much anxiety will be prevented, by an early
counteraetion of this languid state, and in` these cases, no
great difficulty will occur. But where this deficiency has feir

to revive the slumbering sparks of Lite, and 'to re-animate
the Constitution. t .

to prevent us from being classed among those empirics whose
