ALFRED WOODWARD, NJ. D.
"This is, withou, exception, the most compre-
hensiyc and intelligent work published on the
class of diseases on which it treats. Avoiding all
technical terms, it addresses itself to the reason
OF its readers. 1t is free from all Objectionable
matter, and no parent, however iastdious, can
object to placing it in tho hands Of his sons. The
author has devoted many years to tho treatment
Of the various complaints treated Of, and with too
little breath to puff, and too little presumption to
impose, he has offered TO the world, at the mere
ly nominaiPricc Of 20 cents, the fruit ofsomc 20
years moststccessful practice.'-Hsrdid.
"No teacher or parent should be without the
knowledge impaired in this invaluable work. 1t
would sayo years of pain, modification and sor-
row to the youth under their charge."-Psople's
ADVOCATE.
I. A Presbyterian clergyman in Ohio, writing OF
Hunters Medical MANUAL says: Thousands
upon thousands of our youth, by evil example
and influence of the passions, have beed led into
tho habit of pollution, without realizing tho
sin and fearful consequences upon themselves
and their posterity. The constitutions of thous-
ands who are raising families have been entee-
bled, il not broken down, and they do not know
the cause or the cure. Any thing that can be
done so to enlishten and influence the public
mind as to cheek and ultimately to remove this
widespread source of human wretchcdness,
would confer the greatest blessing next to the
religion of Jesus Christ, on the present and COM
ing generation. Intemperance in the use OF IN
toxica,ing drinks, though it has slain thousands
upon thousands, is not a greater scoutse to the
human race. Accept my thanks on behalf OF tho
afflicted, and believe mo your co-worker in the
good work you are actively engaged in"
