Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual halm:item. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness. be raised,
and its true source in every instance disc.iosed, in how many could
tt pe traced to physical disqualificatlens and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gill, which whet
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 particular excesses, on
.he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive •f greater severity of misery to the Mumma frame,
than any other to wkloh it is subject.
This work contains as accurate and comelete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reprodectiye Organs, and of
their relative ooaditiens In health aid disease. It deservedly
requires the closest atteation and study, fer what subject can
be of mere importance than the preservation of the health,
surd ot the physical capabilities of which every maa should
possessed. It nafortunetely happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufering
from their invariable eobsequeeceAs, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plylag to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread S 3
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
sor assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discriminatien n ascertaining the causes of
disease., sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lave-
nobly characterise the iatelligent lad practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse ire of the requisite legal
qualifications that ho is entitled to esteem and respect in his profea-
slonal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. 1)r.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many yearn is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
