Marriage requires the fulfilment of several-conditions, in order
that it may
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
anti its true source in every instance disclosed, In how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift,
which when
used In moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief. and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate.
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.

This work containsas aoefeuihacte ande completed account of Use
Anatomy and Physiologyo
diF . It deservedlytive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and isease
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
unhappyshould
and of the physical capabilities of which every man
an
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that th
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufferinge
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, 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, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse- sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in 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.
