This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost
•solely to the treat-
meet of these diseases.

There are
scenes in the drama of life which
are acted with no spectator but
conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
'aortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before us
such a monitor is te be found, calculated to warn and lastruct the
srring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
-reedy tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
_O.l.taasterly precision and lucidity, blendieg the profoundest truths of
l'odlosephy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
eduction calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
sanon all who are tempted from the rigid ath of 'abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands oaf B un-
