Apothecaries' Dail, London, &c., gre.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
4(litences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
hick have prodhced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
Eccd, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
tiller class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
Ifirticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
.er physical condition, end who are conscious of having hazarded
hel henitb,.happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
till tl ed
It itb.-tolntely necessary that all men should know that there are
l'r;nciples of agement which cannot be violated with-
,' d. incurringgrievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue-
e:ed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pcualt*
aY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness rnay be removed,
I_l how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
pat there's scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of Science cannot apply a cure.
