REVIEWS Ol' THE WORK.

"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
23d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
Dr. CURTIS may be consulted as usual, either by letter or
personally. at his residence, as above. The efficacy and
harmless nature of the remedies employed by him having
been demonstrated by the most complete success during a
practice extending over a period of twenty-five years, nervous
sufferers can rely that the utmost skill and experience will be
made available in the treatment of their cases.

DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of
NERVOUS and PRTSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health and Disease.
The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly

im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by, disappointing its fondest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischiefmay arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions. dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period
long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
perienee.
A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap-
pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in
some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time
almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the
general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though
these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre-
valent than any others.
The consequence of so important a department of pathology.
being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in
question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac-
titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into
the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal
penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of
these eases render these disorders a standing reproach to the
medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion
that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica-
tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare
in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred
hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace
chronic embitterment by permanent content.
Dr. La'Mert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos-
pita: Medical Society, Sm., is the only legally qualified regis-
tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention
to the treatment of these disorders. At home for consulta-
Win. daily, from 10 till 2, and from 6 till 8.
