The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalert as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.s, and
even bad books. With the force •f this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. Thu scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to

diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, Buell as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-

mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Means.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of ffeetions. We do not think we go too
far-in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors fof
producing so useful, so vouch wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book.--1-Conservative Journal.
We recommend the work entitled " manhood,” &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel as
physical advantages sure to result front such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statesman.
