ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a riIsERGYAIAN.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some disease, which for want of 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 of the cases of 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 habits, practised by youth much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.

The PRECEPTOR, also, w o 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

The CLERGYMAN, sacred eha
in whose ractLr, is at once
concentrated 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
nut relinquished.
The book will also be found to containmuch valuable infor-
mation peculiarly interesting to those members of society who,
from having indulged to excess in youth, find themselves un-
able to discharge those duties and functions which devolve on
them in the ordinary course of life.
