An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only, from unqualified persons.
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but,registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, thole that are
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of `Self-Preservation, facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the

In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.
