Marriage requires 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, be raised,
and Its true source in every instance diselosed, in how many could
the traced I. physical disqualiacatiens and their attendant disap-
pointments. Exceeees are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation Is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or loss injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
.he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity ef misery to the Yuman frame,
Olen any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account ef the
/Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and ef
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 et the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately 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
trom their invariable sonsequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
tresinently, 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 be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discriminatien in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent aid practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession 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.
L.I'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
