FOGS AND DAMP AIR.

Season, are so prevalent in this Climate. Its effects are to expel
Wind, to preserve the Stomach from the admission of Damps, and
to relieve those who suffer from Difficulty of Breathing.

" l'he various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapacity,
suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cautiously written
and practical work, are almost unknown, generally misunderstood,
and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and supe
Octal, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the
necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet
friendly monitor, or where debility has made threatening inroad.,
the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The 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-
fidethe care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment
devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is
intended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of gene-
rative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require
for their safe 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
and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment
of sexual 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-
dulgence in cei lain 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 consulted with greater safety and secresy than in
"Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence
—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but
alas ! for human nature, with afflicting 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 indivretion - afraid almost to en.
counter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style,
displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward phy-
sical appearance or 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, are often ascribed to wrong causes,
and instead of being the natural results cf 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 cha-nel for the ex-
pression of opin.on upon the merits of a medical work, this remark
is open to exceptio in any instance where the public, anti 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 scie ice of medicine has hitherto shrouded its
own ignorance. The work before i•s treats of subjects se believe go.
nerallv, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and
requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and thesurgery of the
eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important blanch of study.
Tlie tone o! 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 I,e 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.
The 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 the discharge of matrimonial obligations.
This essay inmost 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
