The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
hens, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the of 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 thatithere is BO 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 youth much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and responsibility 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 ultinw-tely the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
in proper time. He will here find a slue to guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth• and a standard
whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to
attack any of his young charges, what the real cause 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 cf 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 Ton till 'I hree, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnto 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 mos'. be accompanied by the "usual Consulta-
tion Fee of ll.," without which no notice whatever can he
taken of their appplication ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.
