The Work which is now resented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason hays been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the cttlinary practitioner. T• enter into the
details •f these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure t• follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out •f place in an advertisement. We Lave
no hesitation, however, in saving that there is no member of
society, by whom the hook will not be found irrteresting, whe-
ther we consider such person t• hold the relation •t 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 •f 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 •f the cases •f young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes,
&c.., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive babits, practised by youth much more fre-
quehtly than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and responsibility ofa 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 is be compromised, unless the evil he checked
in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
whereby t• judge, when delicacy of health should appear to
attack any 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
concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits, t• 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.
