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 prevalent as at the pre-.
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books.. With the force of 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. The 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
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in praof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming before the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional; at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex •
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita •
tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed !and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
t owe: by the every-day observer as the result of common
reaatases, su^h as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of ten_pe-
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c.,
meure, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch es Messrs.

We recommend
the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel as
most readily recognised and to result from such perusal, will be
