The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and last
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, fur want of carend investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on rerusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases or 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 requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
Let 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
it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
ised in moderation Is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
ibused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injur)
to the constitutional and vital von ers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and conseauence of whieh 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 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
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a rear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
requently, 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 discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
iisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
siedical man who can show by his posse,aion of the requisite legal
ivalltications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
-ertify. and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
marantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
Lucrezia Borgia was performed last night for the first
time this season. It is amongst the most successful
operas in the repertoire of this theatre, and Madame
Grisi's vengeful Italian lady, Lucrezia, is universally ad-
mitted to be one of her finest delineations. Not only is
her peculiar style of beauty and matured form admi-
rably adapted to the part, but the music is equally fitted
for her vocal means. There is no one element wanting
to complete the dramatic or vocal illusion. To dilate at
the present day on its abounding excellencies is un-
necessary—we have only to say that we have seldom
seen her to greater advantage than last night. Mario
was the Gennaro; Alboni, Orsini; and Tawburini, Al.fonso. Mario was in charming voice, and Alboni was
honoured with a triple encore in the " Brindisi." The
trio " Guai se ti fugge un motto" was redemanded. The
principal performers were called at the end of each act
and at the conclusion of the opera.. Madame Viardot
Garcia gave the last scene of Amina from Sonnambula,
and was encored with vast enthusiasm in the " Non
giunge" and twice recalled.
