"Curtis on Manhood.--This is a truly valuable work, and
should he in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Timm,'
Sd 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 empiri,.al hostility, treats in a plain
end sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de•
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful.”—Record.
