The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidabl.e consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselc.o, and
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the roost distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. Te
quote passages from the work in prof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The'
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful malshdies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Cr.rtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.

Ter u:ssta of lAlessrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," I
has a astonished us by devel(pinga series of maladies, the
sequencenever-failing co sequence
of ti)i really perusal

treats. The clea r connexion pointeedvicious habit of which it
cause and the e ffects is percepttbleout between the assigned
strongly recomrtumd the work.—Age. to every capacity. We
The multitude of b loks daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a ~eery questionable tendency,
made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the. character given of this work by an i
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel
nontelligent
hesita-
tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear explsition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are e
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such a's exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, Ste., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other claw of affections. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book.—Conservative Journal.
tt.e recommend the work entitled " Manhood,
e " &e., to the
W .
refill perusal of person sof all classes. The moral as well as
most
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them. —States= n.
