Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
Ised in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
obused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
ore productive of greater severity of misery to the Yuman frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
•,e of more importance than the preservation of the health
arid of the physical capabilities of which every man should
,se possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
morn their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
,,lying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
isease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
vedical man who can show by posse9tion of the requisite legal
malitications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
aonal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
fuarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
