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 vrretckedness, be raised,
and its true source in, every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be 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 and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the stature 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 centains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatemy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attentieit 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
vbretipassessod. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
