The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tior,s, wh!rth for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the udinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these elections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific eonsequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of pia.ite in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not he found irrteresting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
The PARENT, who beholds his belove d child
ehildoriegpsininugenacwe ofay,
and fast approaching to a premature grave,
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
wii;, 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, loan disease, tabes,
&e., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgenoe
in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more Pre-
' quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and respeniatility of a parent, will, by perusing this
work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating aqd
detecting the too often concealed practitscs so often introduced
into schools, wherebl the health and uitiMatcly the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil hg checked
in proper time. He will here 11od a clue to guide him thrive)
the intricate mazes of this
of l labhealthyrinth,
should appear to
and a standard
whereby to judge, when deliacy
attack any of his young charges, what the real cape of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to vhcok the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once
concentraiga the twofold relation cf parentseandabiiiisstructor, will
here be directed es to the nature of tho h t to which
he will also be nabigd to point out the
youth is addicted ;
disastrous consequences which are sure to foliozf Gem them, if
not relinquished.
