"This is, without exception, tho most compre-
hensive and intelligent work published on the
class of diseases on which it treats. Avoiding all
technical terms, ii addresses itself to the reason
of its readers. 1t is free from all Objectionable
. matter, aud no parent, however iastidious, can
object 10 placing ii in the hands Of his sons. The
author has devoted many years to the treatment
OF the various complaints treated Of, and with too
little breath TO puff, and too little presumption to
impose, he has offered TO tho world, ut the mere
ly nominal price of % cents, the fruit ofsome 20
years most successful practce.n-Iieraid.
"No teacher or parent should be without the
knowledge impaired in this invaluable work. 1t
would save years Of pain, modification and sor.
row to the youth under their chargc."-PeOpie's
Adr0edte.
A. Presbyterian clergyman in Ohio, writing Of
sIiuu,cr's Medical Manual,' says: " Thousands
upon thousands of our youth, by evil example
and influence Of the passions, have becd led into
the habit of sclEpolluton, without realizing the
sin aud fearful consequences upon themselves
and their posterity. The constitutions OF thous-
ands who are raising families have been cniee.
blcd, If no, broken down, and they do not know
the cause or tho cure. Any thing that can be
done SO to enlighten and influence tho public
mind us 10 check and ultimately to remove this
widespread source Of human wretchedRcss,
would confer tho creates, blessing next to the
religion Of Jesus Christ, on the present and con-
ing generation. lntcmperance in the use Of in-
toxcatiHg drinks, though it has slain thousands
upon thousands, is not greater scouise to the
human race. Accept my thanks on ehalf of the
afflicted, and believe Inc your co'@orker in the
good work you are actively engaged in"
