press into wade mecum compass the very gum
tessence of medical science on this important
subject; as the result of the experience OF the
most eminent physicians in Europe and Amer
lea is thoroughly demonstrated in his own high
ly successful practice in the treatment OF secret
diseases in many thousands OF cases in the City
of Philadelphia alone.
The practice of Dr.. Hunter has long been,
ard still is literally unbounded, but at the ear
nest solicitation of numerous persons, he has
been induced 10 extend the sphere of his profess
sional usefulness to the community at large,
through the medium of his "MedlCal Manual
and Hand Book for tho Afflicted"
| 1t is a volume that should be in the hands Of
every family in the land, whether used as a pre-
ventative of secret vices, or as guide for the al
deviation of one of the most awful and deslruc-
tive scourges ever visited upon mankind for the
sins of sensuality and mpurity of every kind.
1t is volume that has received the unquali-
fed recommendation of the first physicians in
the land, while many clergymen, fathers, moth
ers. philanthropsts and humanitarlans, have
most freely extended its circulation il all quar-
tiers where lis powerful teachings would be
likely to be instrumental IN the moral puTiiCa-
ton and physical healing of multitudes of our
people, among the young, volatile and indlS.
Greet, otherwise the pride and flower Of the ma
ton.
The author argues particularly, most strong
~ against every species of seli-dcfiIement, and
warns parents and guardians, in searching terms,
to guard the young of both sexes from the terri
Bile consequences concomitant OF their ignorance
of physiological laws and SEXUAL impurities and
irregularities, whether exhibited by precious
development or arising from the vicious and cor
ruptng examples Of their school-mates or other
wise. To those who have been already ensnared
to the paths that take hold on hell" clear and
explicit way is shown by which they may
cure a return of sound health, and regonera-
ton of the soul from lis terrible pollution.
1t is well known that thousand of victims are
annually sacrificed at the shrine Of Quackery-
especially those suffering from Nenereal OF Sy-
philitic Observation-Disclosures, Seminal Weakness
Nervous Debility, and the numerous maladies
which spring directly OF less remotely from the
indulgence OF carnal passions and secret viola
tons of Nature.
In view Of these facts, and when it is a.o
considered that about 100000 persons die an
mualy in the United States OF Consumption
d large mojori.y being the victims OF the SoluP-
tuous indiscTetion OF their progenitorS, agreea-
bly, to the Scrptural enunclatlon, tina! the sins
| OF the parents are visited upon the chlluteh,
even to the third and fourth generatlon.-The
Author imbued with sentiments of enlarged
philanthropy, will scarcely be censured for any
effort TO restrain the vices of the age, by the
humble insrumentaity of his Medical Manual.
