'I he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in M.
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern patheloOsts. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their ploys csl condition, end who are conscious of having hzzarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
eat Med.

It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed-the heyday of inconsiderate self-Indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of ph) steal infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
