" Manhood.' A Medical Work.—To the gay and thought less we
trust this little work will serve as a beacon to warn them of the
danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their pa ;sions,
whilst to some it may serve as a monitor in the hour of tempta-
tion, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health."—Chroniclo
" ' Manhood.' By J. L. Curtis, and Co.—Their long experience
and reputation in the treatment of these painful diseases is the
patient's guarantee, and well deserves for the work its immense cir-
culation."—Era.

The parent, who behelds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of 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 Mae-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
saniption, heart disease, tabes, Esc., 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.

sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
titter the latter. The solitary ole may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eomprosiag hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
my misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone er
together, are a disgrace to the ale. Furthermore, two other
tale publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
