4. Panel taciturn dolorem continebant. "—Liv.
AS manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character,
undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating
images after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of
society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and oh.
structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course
of wild and injurious indulgence, and tne mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of heal.ll' 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 poisnss, and to restore
to ill wonted energy every relaxation of the gerievs.'ive economy,
whether from this or other causes, whereby th. diglitts; ^f manhood
shall have become impaired ; equally conteirrarik unfeeling emoy-
ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys when. it should re-
store; and, on the other hand, that unworthy " priric;iaed whose
proud selfishness increases the embarrassment of the afflicted All
classes of society, not excepting the Angla.lndlan, but more espe-
cially such as are about to enter into matrimonial life, are Included
in th limits of this address, and to all we cunfidentiy offer the
result of many years' successful practice.
Daily attendance is given for personal comltat,on ; and immediate
answers are returned to country letters ,whir_ must minutely de-
scribe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine,
which can be forwarded to any part of the world
bo however distant.—
No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine willl securely packed, and
carefully protected from observation.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the w dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that:there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine-
tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and esponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this
work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and
detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless tb' evil be checked
in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to
eta* any of his young charges, what the rea' rause of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred•character, is at once
concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
nut relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence,: No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever eau be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.
