The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
,ecluen es resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
lave produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
-1"4, a. id premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other cls 'as of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
Particula rty recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phy eical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health,- happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
catttled.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
oat incurriwz grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the hey lay of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
May be mitt, fated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all,
that there is t carcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot,ftpply a cure.
