Matriculated member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary
Mernber of the London tiospual Medical Society, Licentiate of
Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sze., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
other and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
o class of divas° known to modern iathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their rihysical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to wbich every human being is
e ititled.
It it 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 inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
aY be-mitigated, how the sting Of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequenc physicalbe avoided, and, above all,
that emsh scarcely any degree o Infirmity or functional
derangeent t,o which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
