and Delusive Habits, Youthful Imprudence, or Infection ; with
Remarks on the Treatment of Gonorrhoea, (Beet, Stricture,
and Syphilis. Illustrated with Cases, Ste,

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa-
city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this calls
tiously written and practical Work, ate alinest enitneem, gene-
rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond-
ingly errom.ous and superficial, by the present race of medital
practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of tt
timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly mdnitor, or; Wheire dcbis
lity has made threatening inrdads, the Means of escape and the
certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts
are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin,
and there are none to whom, as Parents;Guarclians,.Heads of
Families, and especially of public Schools, it ciatifitieti the Cafe
of young people, who ought to fetn'oin fur a Moment devoid of
that into and thta,e salutary cautions this work is in-
tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of
generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they
require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life
entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and
(as in other departments of the prrifesSion) Attentively eohcen-
trated in the daily and long.tOntinted observation requisite for
the cat ect treatment of sexual infirmities.
" If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind
seriously involved. The effects Of licentious, ihdiscriniinate
and secret indulgence in certain praeticea, are described with
an accuracy and force Which display at once profound reflec-
tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet,
" The best of all Friends is the Professional Ftitnd s and in
no shape can he be eotOulted with greater safety and secresy
than in Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into
vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sties, art
given with faithful, but alas I for littniatt natitte, *ith tifilictiiig
truth. However, the Authors have hot exposed the evil with-
out affording a tehiedy. It shows hew " Manly Vigour"
temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation,
produced by uncontrolled inditigened of the patsions, can be
restored ; he* the stifferer, who has pined in anguish from the
Consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost ti encounter
his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
courage. The work is written in a colidise and perspicuous
style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the
outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how
the attenuation of the frame, palpitation or the heart; derange-
ment of the nervoris System, cough, indigestion, and it train of
symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often
ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re-
sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of
an alluring and pernicious praetite, alike destructive to the
mind and body.'--New Bell's Weekly Messenger.
"Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the
expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this
remark is open to exception in any instance where the public,
and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession,
are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to
men indiscriminalOy, the world will form its own opinion, and

IThe security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief
anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded
union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of
matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad-
dressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character
alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the
drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.
