REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
(hould be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
fBd 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.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de•
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
( xcesses it will be found valuable and useful"—Record.
