Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that It may ho really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and tts true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
line traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses 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 less injury
to the constitutional sad vital powers. The particular excesses. on
she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the kuman frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate aid complete account •f the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions is health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation •f the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victita of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
ha 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 80
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 be procured. In riethig thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination' n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physielan, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that ho is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'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 experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
