This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is new presentsed to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have beets
either alto; ether overlooked, Sr treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
arid well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic an the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the pert of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate tho pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical.practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by %Ahem the book
will not bo found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want .of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
gumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonishes) 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 frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, he directed and very touch
assisted in investigating and detecting the too o
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, vrherften cone
ehr th
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure
to be.com-
e promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the Intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of mill 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 two-fold relation of parent and instructor. will
here be directed as to the eature of those habits to which
youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis.
estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
