1 lie essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences r
excesses,
;suiting from certain habits, irregularities, and
which hays produced more misery in Youth, degradation to
Min-
other, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps,
any
eas!. of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
Particui•trV recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their ron.ys cal condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
ez.title, ..
It le, absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
I rincip les; of personal management which cannot be violated with-

teed th 'heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may li s mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed,
and ht, w the evil aq its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
rthat tl iere is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
eran ge,nent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure
