THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY

SELF-PRESERVATION. —A Medical Treatise
k 3 on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervoas and Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth
to Manhood, with practical observations on the Physiology or Mar-

remarks on, the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which 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 modem 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
entitled.
It in absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
. ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue-
eed 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
d.irangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Inconvenience, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other

and dinner, and restores the faculty of digestion, and nervous and
hitiscular energy to the most enfeebled.
