" Pauci taciturn dolorem continebant."—Liv.

AS Manhood approaches, thehuman form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character,
rapidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life,
creating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the
present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often
postponed and obstructed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity
impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and the
mind becomes painfully harassed by aiterations of fear, disgust,
and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the
inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant; in either case at the
expense of health, that being only palliated which should have
been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue
the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse,
disappointed hope, and disease ; and we pledge ourselves to
eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its
wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy,
whether fro►n this or other causes, whereby the dignity of man-
hood shall have become impaired; equally contemning unfeel-
ing empyricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where
it should restore ; and, on the other hand, that unworthy
" principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrass-
ment of the afflicted. All classes of society, not excepting the
Anglo-Indian, but more especially such as are about to enter
into matrimonial life, are included in the limits of this address,
and to all we confidently offer the result of many years' suc-
cessful practice.
Daily attendance is given for personal consultation ; and im-
mediate answers are returned to country letters, which must
minutely describe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice
and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the
world, however distant.—No difficulty can occur, as the Medi-
cine will be securely packed, and carefully protected from ob-
servation
