Mernher of the London noel:dial Medical Society, Licentiate of

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
hich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
Other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
e
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
Principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence,
how those penalties
May be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
that there Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
