" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa-
city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau-
tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene-
rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond.
ingly erront.ous and superficial, by the present race of medical
practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a
timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi-
lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the
certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts
are extensive and identical in their secret. and hidden origin,
and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of
Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care
of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of
that information and tho.e salutary cautions this work is in-
tended to convey. Not. only are the most delicate forms of
generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they
require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life
entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and
(as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen-
trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for
the correct treatment of sexual infirmities.

" If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind
seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate
and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with
an accuracy and tome which display at once profound reflec-
tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet.
The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in
no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy
than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into
vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are
given with faithful, but alas 1 for human nature, with afflicting
truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with-
out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour"
temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation,
produced by uncontrolled' indulgence of the passions, can be
restored ; hew the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the
consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter
his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health *and moral
courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous
style, displaying how ,often fond parents are deceived by the
outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how
the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange-
ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of
symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often
ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re-
sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of
an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the
mind and body.",—New Bell's Weekly Messenger.
" Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the
expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this
remark is open to exception in any instance where the public,
and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession,
are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to
men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and
will demand that medical works for public study should be
devoid of that Mysterious technicality in which the science of
medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work
