Marriage requires the falflinaent 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 iniarions ; the gift, which when
ttaed in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused .the prolific Boyce of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate,

than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains as accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and o.
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
'ell litres the closest attention and study, for what subject can

and of the physical capabilities of which every man shou)d
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy

In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
Plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
froqUently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints arc
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
ter assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
'knots that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all. secrecy, inva-
IlahlY characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
tosalice man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
-110, sal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diploma

guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almos:
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
