tropical climates: Local and Constitutional Weakness, Syphilis,
Stricture, and all Diseases and Derangements resulting from Indis-

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 disclosed, in how maay could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injtuious; the gift, 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 partidular 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.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiolou 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 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
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination no ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, !ava-
ilably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse.sion 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.
1.45.'ME UT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for . :zany years is a
suaruntee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
Solely to the treatment of these diseases.
