4.We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience In the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if it has not exceeded, that of any of his
contemporaries ; whilst we most certainly know of no man to whose
care we would sooner intrust the treatment of a severe case of stric-
ture."—Medical Circular.

'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 Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of ells ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phys esl c^ndition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
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, bow those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of ph.sicll infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot arpty a cure.
