THE MEDICAL QUESTION NOW BEFORE
PARLIAMENT.—The point for Members of Parliament oh
behalf of the people is this—lre doctors as a body following a true
theory or not ? That is the question. Not whether they have re-
ceived a Latin and Greek education and so forth. The present
struggle in the House of Commons amounts -to this--Doctors wish
to give a force aid value to their diplomas which they do not
possess—the diploma is,. in short, a licence to make a trade of advice
and the diseases of mankind. Let all consider the point, and they
=lst come to that conclusion. It would not in short answer the
purpose of doctors generally to cure diseases !

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through -the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
ethers, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to tha
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefleld

embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-

however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable

cretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus.
