" the various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapacity,
suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated iu this cautiously written
and practical work, are almost unknown, generally misunderstand,
and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and super-
ficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the
necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet
friendly monitor, •r where debility has made threatening inroads,
the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. '1 he evils to
which this book adverts are ex ensive and identical in their secret
and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guar.
dians, Heads of -Families, and especially of Publ c Schools, is con-
fided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment
devoid of that information and those salutary cautiens this work is
intended to convey Not only are the most delicate forms of gene-
ranive debility neglected by the family physician, but hey tequire
for their s .fe management the exclusive study of a life entirely ab.
stracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other de-
partments of the profession) attentively concentrated in the daily
..udlong.continued observation requisite for the correct treatment
of s xual infirmities.
If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously
involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate, and secret in-
clulg.n e in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and
force which display at once profound reflection and extensive prac-
tical experience."—Planet.
" The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend ; and in no
shape can be c molted with greater safety and secresy than in
Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence
—its erog ess—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but
alas! for human nature, with aelicting truth. However, the Authors
have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy. It shows
how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and phy.
sical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the pas-
sions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish
from the consequences of early indiscretion - afraid almost to en-
counter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
c iurage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style,
displaying now often fond parents are deceived by the outward phy-
sical appearance of their youthful offspring; how the attenuation of
the frame, palpitation of the heart, derangement of the nervous
system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of
consumption or general decay, ate often ascribed to wrong causes,
and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or
disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice
alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Mes.

Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the ex-
pression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark
is open to exceptio i in any instance where the public, and not the
isolated and exclusi, e members of the profession are the parties ad-
dressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately,
the world will form its own opinion, ~nd will demand that medical
works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious techni-
cality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its
awn ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects xe believe ge-
nerally, yet very strangely, neglected be the medical attendant, and
requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and thssurgery of the
eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study.
The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well written,
harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon un-
bridled sensualism. No human being can to the worse for its
perusal. To multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-
told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear,
intelligent style; and is evidently the production of a mind long
and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate
division of the human organisation."—Magnet.
'f he security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety
of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a
secret fear of unfitness for toe discharge of matrimonial obligations.
['his essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a de-
spondency of the character alluded to; and advice will be found
ealculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the way to reno-
vated health
