consider Desland,' book as decidedly the be.,
treatise ertant in the French or English language.
The subject is extremely important, and one too
much overlooked by our profession generally. and
the eyils OF the vice on which your publication
treats are not appreciated by the community, al
though the presented in your book ire fright
ful. Yet judging from the many patients who have
been under my treatment, ttey lave no, been over
drawn.-A. Sidney Doane, NJ -. Nev York.
The work Of Deslandes, by pointing out the dis
eases resulting from eIoesses. the evils which are
manifest in every insane asylum, no less than in
the shattered constitution of those ndugng, will do
much 10 prevent the vice, which by its prevalence
among the Joung, has so much influence on the
present well as the future, we! being of many

The vice is doubtless very much more common
in this country than IL generally supposed or than
medical men are ready to believe that il is a
frshtfu source Of i'll health and fatal disease with
the Young have no doubt. ! hope, therefore, the
book will 60 into extensive circulation. The views
OF the writer are excellent on this subject-Dr s.
B. woodward, Superintendent Of the Insans Hos
ptial at Worcester.
The present work abounds in we'll authenticated
cases going fully to subsantate the position taken
by the author and cannot be read without producing
deep conviction that something ought TO be done to
check this dsplotable evil.-Zon's Herald.
The volume, published, will prove emf
nen'ly useful, and deserving the consideration all
10 whom is committed the responsible trust Of
moral and physical educa;ion,-Jola W. Francis,
NJ. d., NeV York.
We recommend the work entitled "Manhood
etc, to the careful perusa Of persons Of all class
es. The moral as well physical advantages
sure to result from such perusal will be most readily
recognized and felt by those who stand most in
need Of them.-Phsnir Journal.
We do not think we go too far in saving that So
oeiy is deeply indebted to the author for producing
SO valuable, so useful much wanted, and so
truly moral work.-Conserratiu Journal.
The work entitled manhood" is one of the few
books now coming before the public on such sub
Ject, which can lay claim to the character of being
strictly professional at the time that it is fnlly
Ineligible to all who read il. The moral and med
ical precepis given in it render snvaluabe. Magnet
This important work has been notice ed in the Her
aid before but we take advantage of the issue of
fourth edition to refer TO II again. The subject is one
OF untold Importance The vice of which it treats
is supposed, by competent judges, to be generally
prevalent and growing; it is spreading through the
community decriped.. bodies and decayed minds,
andproplng insane hospitals and the grave. Some
of the highest medical authorities pronounce it the
great scourge of civilization. 1t is ABSOLUTELY terrific
to read Tlssot, Deslandes, and other writer's who
have treated Of the extent of this destructive habit,
the facility with which is contracted in childhood
and even IN infancy, and its deplorable effects on
body and soul. 1t is triumph ofhumanity,as well
as morality, that the vice has last been stripped of
the false deicaoy which screened it, and that scen-
iihc men have n.erposed 10 rescue the young from
its ruin [Zion's Herald.
