Physicians of extensive observation, and Su.

as portrayed by the author. IF this work were
once freely circulated, the tendency would be
beneficial, because, like an alarm gun, it would
give warning in season TO avert threatened
danger. Ii might thus drive away hend that

! consider Deslandes' book as decidedly the
best treatise extant in the French or English Ian
guage. The subject is extremely Important, and
/ one too much overlooked by our profession gen
orally, and the evils of the vice on which your
pub icaton treats are not appreciated by the CON-
! rnuniiy although the cases presented i'm your

patients who have been under my treatment,

The work of Deslandes, by pointing out the
diseases resutln from excuses, the evils of which
are manifest in every insane asylum, no less than
in the shattered constitutions Of those indWging,
will do much TO prevent the vice, which, by lis
prevalence among the young, has so much inf1u

The work entitled 1" Manhood" is one OF the
few books now coming before the public on such
a subject, which can lay claim TO the character oil

This important work has been noticed in the

of fourth edition to refer to it again. The sub

which it treats is supposed, by competent judges
to be generally prevalent and growing; it il
