"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
hold be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
3d lon arch, 1856.

which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
.nd sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
nd impediments arising from liervous excitement and de-
; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
xcesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.
