WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of Education
and Responsibility deviate from the General System by
the selection of a particular branch, the sanction of long-continued
success is the best criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devoted our practice to !the exclusive
treatment of two disorders, and the successful result of our p'3.ri
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as far as we are able, the
ravages of those complaints which are the most important hi the
catalogue of human iniirmi!ies.
After initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplated
the sufferings of Sipliylitic and Debilitated Patients, and formed a
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of oneducEsci mut,
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of general'practitionct.i.
The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our atten-
tion, comprise ew ry species of Venereal Infection, whether of a
recent or long duration: 2dly, all kinds of Debility, whether ariss
ing, from the habits of school-boys, .or the indulgencies of mature
age.—Numerous diseases tire the result of ignorance, or haste in
the tre tment of a simple Gonorrhera, and it not unfrequently hots.
pens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indiscretion et an
unguarded hour.
By a superior method such complaints are easily cured; and
even where others have fullest, we trust that we may presume to
offer a radical re-establishment.
Few, :eiwever, are the cases of complicated distress in this dis-
order, cumpared • with the calamitous situations of men, who.,
from an indidgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieties oi
a fashionable life, acquire that star of debility, which is the un-
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but care-
' fully conceals his misfortune, It may be sonic consolation for hint
to know, that although it be an object of doubt or uncertainty
with other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by then
gradual progress of renovation is the acquirement of our experience.
If the rites .of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce manly
vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by an early counteraction of
this languid state, and in those cases, no great difficulty will occur.
But where this deficiency has for years existed, a proper perst-
verance is indispensibly requisite to retire the slumbering sparks
of life, and to re-animate the constitution.
The secrecy which is so essential to ot:r undertaking, and the
qualilications which we presume to state, form tie basis of sue
pretensions, and the coincidence with such this intimation is givers
