REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Al anhood.—Thus is a truly valuable work, and
h nul4A be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
Sd March, 1A56.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source o those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 185 R.
" 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
:ind impediments arising- from nervous excitement and de-
lility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.
