on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,

Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono-
rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li-
centiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irrezularities,
and excesses, which have produced more pusery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, 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 condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the
health,
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
and regret succeed the heyday" of.ineonaiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may he mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the
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.
