When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints, it is painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them. 1t is but sim
pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which so largely affect the
lite, health, and happiness OF in all classes OF
society, and which, consequently affect more or less
directly, the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocous education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints ofdress, the early confinement of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus, with the body half clothed,
