1 he essential object of this Ireat,se is to point out the fearful con-
secucncea resulting from Certain habits, irregularities, and exeesse
adde.h have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in ,
Man-
hood, antiprom:l.lllre decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secrletst pdeornubstaal of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitleu.
It is absolutely necessary that all men shonld know that there are
p inciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
. out Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret me,
c ,ed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgetiee, how those penalties
may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be`rentoved.
and howthe evil and its consequences maybe r.voided, 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.
