A Belief in the existence of the fountain of youth,
1-1 from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine
energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will,
however, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers if art
and medicine. Those who, early victims te a morbid imagination,
have sought fatally to anticipate the purposes of nature, and have
consequently lapsed into a state which brings with it weakened ca-
pabilities and clouded hopes, may by timely application to prem..
sional treatment, regain those first, noblest, and best of powers that
have been compromised by the criminal propensities of "guilty sell-
hide." the progress of which is marked by the " lymphatioa som-
nia: ofPliny, attended with bodily weakness and mental apathy.
We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily cor-
respondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not conemxlie
our own country, but diffused over the whole world. Fer twenty-

preyed eminently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the
earnest solicitations of our patients to publish their cases in a public

us by a medical friend, that we hare yielded to an importunity suf-
ficiently excusable by the gratitude it evinces
Deer Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized ! Accept my most
ncartfelt thanks ; words are inadequate to express my unbounded
tzratitude. May you long live to reap the rich reward of your
labours in the treatment of that classof diseases whieh have hitherto
baffled the skill of your medical brethren.

There are many disorders of the generative system (which, whew
compared with the above, may be termed subsordinate) that are
consequent upon the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the
passions, exhibiting.in some, debility from excess, in ethers, the
relaxing effects of a tropical climate, and in many, indeed in how
many, the various maladies which afflict the student, the misan-
thrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the libertine. In all these
eases our practice, which embraces every grade in society, from the
mac of rank to him of the humblest sphere, has been uniformly
successful ; and as seeresy belongs to our profession, the meet deli-
cate and diffident may apply without fear or hesitation.
