Tho 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 i
difference, by the ci 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 as
h been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, prd by youth much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The

work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and

pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked

whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to

attack may be, and thus he N enabled ek the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN; .
in whose a • s cred 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 al so be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.
