Marriage requires the falibueat of several conditions. in order
k rct covers
v u really tir4.,:i.o of se:S mutual happiness. Could the
hmednes,%lte raised, ,
and its true source in every instance __.,is
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attenara7.°°,lll„4
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which wlir:
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prollie mimes of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, en
,he nature and conseqftence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the hasten frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains au accurate and complete account of the
Tiatey and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their rmelative conditions ix health aid disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of mere importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It eafortueately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence aid visimis habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the fellioe of advanced age, while seffering
from their invariable eousequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame aid 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 in ascertaining the causesnva-
of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, i
riably characterise the intelligent aid practical physician, and to the
medical ran who can show by his posse-sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem aid respect ht his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost coufidene• should be extended. Dr.
L • 'MER,T has obtained the highest medical honoars, as his diplomas
tee Iff and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
gemantee for his professional experkinee, which has refereice almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

NlOne half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The eslitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosing hurry ; but the trath lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to dornestie happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticedenaand tkat health should form an Item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little

tor the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic' to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by anqualified authors, which alone et*
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,

Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, bat equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the boar, but the study of the author's
lite, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be dons unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
