Marriage requires the fulfilment of several eenditione. 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
Jibe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is freught with advantage, becomes, when
abnsed .the prolific sonree of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on
,he nature and conseanence 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.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. it fieferturiately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
frem their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear 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
!or assistance where alone it can Le procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the ceases of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posseision of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'ME LIT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
stutraatee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the trearmeet of these liiSCa342.
