.M. One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
'supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
edomprosing hurry ; but, the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
those surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULFERWELL'S little

for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,

oamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the

for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination. n ascertaining the causes of

certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
