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 I,f consumption, will, on perusing this work,
Ise astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., 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.

Marriage re
quires 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, he raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments.
Excesses are always injurious; the gill, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused .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,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.

victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
M early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequeaces, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably' characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical loan who can show by hi, possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
