Member of the London Hosollal Medical Society, Licentiate of
Apothecaries' Hall, London, &C., Scc.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
aeouences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
Ich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
boo d, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
othc r class of disease known to modern Pathologists* its perusal is
• 'Oath Culitrly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the heelth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
nutted.
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 ineoesiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
.may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
'awl how the evil and its consequences:maybe 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.
