M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionahly contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes era-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ant broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social context. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form au Item

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in 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 how many could
It he traced I. physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fyaeght with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief; and of greater or less injary
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
.3 satire and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive if greater severity of misery to the human frame:
than any other to which it is subject.

requires the closeet attention and study, for what subject can
he of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
tie pomeased. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim et excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, enwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequ,intly, 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, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, aid to the
medical man who can show by his posse-sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled te esteem and respect is his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, 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.
