This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering `rots their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of apelyini, to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. I. '3I EUT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice fer many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference Ilmest solely to the treatment of these
diseases.
