London, England, 1841-09-02 00:00:00

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, proeured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,
impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities,
comprehended under nervous debility. will find this Rocket
Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va-
rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruso
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin ofmany of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would
be de partmg.from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
a thorough confidence in the talent and

Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pu rnoirtdr.y
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprohria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to ju 1-
eious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book. —Conservative. Journal.
We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statcsman. •
