Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual Intiipinees. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source la 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 prelille source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional am vital powers. The particular exeesses. on
.he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate.
are productive of greater severity of misery to the bussing frame,
than any ether to which it is subject.
This work contains as accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy cud I'lly,iolosT of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditlons in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of snore inisertance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every mats should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in 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 so
rrequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hint and prevent his seeking
or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
is rguts that accurate discrimination, n ascertaining the causes of
disen.e, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, ieve-
riehly characterise the Intelltgeat and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by hi:. posse, sion of the requisite legal
qnaltlleations that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profee-
al^nal pursuits, the utmost coafidence should be extended. Dr.
EftT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certlty, 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.
