REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
4`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
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.
