The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and s affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and Tintodifference, by the te dinar practitioner. 'To enter the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, sociar, 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 chili pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence,,of
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation er la
real cause, has been set down to the score of, conitimplitin,
will, on perusing this work be astonished to tridi 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 sale and exclusive origin has been the iodalgeoce in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth nych' 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 ultimately the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide hint throUgh
the
intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
awthtaecrkebaynyts judge, when delicacy of health should appear to
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
coneentrated 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
not relinquished.
