STERILITY.—Whatever is unproductive is witti-
out intrhisic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that
which " yields no fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned
for the same reason tlyit caused the barren fig' tree to be cursed.
This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth
famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the
ear et those of the human race who remain childless in a community
which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only
do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures,
but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation
to the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home.
It is a remarkable fact that the unproductivenesS of soil and
species arises from similarity of °awe. Some lands are
the produce of vitiated strata that yields an- !offspring as
Unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of
minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value
by being too early worked, before they are fit "for eilltivation, Some
soils, originally fertile, become barren 'by ekcess of tillage; others
are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the
want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana-
logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he
springs. Man is to often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine-
rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also 'tries his constitution too early,
and avertaska it too late. aisle, by unwholesome contact can also in-
fect his fame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can
resider a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance
of his orga dzation and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy
cease here. The detrinients to cultivatiquabove detailed have ueen
recently se entirely. overcome by' modern improvement in agricul-
ture, that farmers,are now enabled to-produce crops almost from
stone itself; and, in like-manner, .Sterility in the human race is now
removable through the profeull.cl • itiscovesies in physic-yr/bleb enlighten
the present age. In testimony of this, a. volume has recently been
produced which fills the 'heart with hope and is calculated to remove
Sterility altogether.' It Is from the pen of Messrs., J. L. CURTIS
AND CO., Consulting Surgeons; /, Frith. street, Soho-square,
