The essential object of this treatise Is to point out the fearful con
aeolliences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses -
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation '
h " in Man-
ood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, an
other class of disc-ass known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
Rartieularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
tTeir Physical condition, and who are conscions of having hazarded
e health, happiness, and • to winch every human being is
privileges lltitied..
It le absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
lent incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret site-
Z,.,_edy thee heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
n'ahbownitl!tiga.ted, how. the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
that ther e evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
e,... els scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
ilg!inient to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
