treatise extant in the French or English Language
The subject is extremely important, and too
much over looked by profession generally, and
the evils of the vice which your publication treats

The work of Dcslandes, by pointing out the dis
eases resulting from excuses, the owls of which
manifest in every insane asylum, no less than in the
shattered constitutions of those INDUCING, will do

We do not think we go too far in saying that so-

The work entitled "Manhood" is one of the few
books now coming before the public on such sub

This important work has been noticed in the Her.
aid before, but take advantage of the issue of
fourth edition to refer to it again. The subject is
one OF untold imdortance. The vice of which it
treats is supposed by competent Judges to be gener-
ally prevalent and growing; it is Spreading through
the community decrepid bodies and decayed minds,
and peoping insane hospitals and the grave. Some
OF the highest medical authorities pronounce it the
great scourge of civilization 1t is absolutely terrific
to read Tissot, Deslandes, and other writers, who
have treated of the extent Of this destructive habit
the facility with which it is contracted in childhood
and even in infancy, and lis deplorabe effects on
body and soul. 1t is triumph of hcmanity as well
as morality that the vice has at last been stripped of
the false delicacy which screened it, and that scen
tho men have nterposed to rescue the Young from
its ruin. [Zion's Herald
