Tint Author of the above volume is a gradu ate ef ono or th. first medical schools in the United States, and having devoted a quarter of a century to the study and treatment of Syphilis and kindred disorder, as a speciality, he has become possessed of most invalunlde informa tion in regard to the same, and is able to com pass into vsde mecum compass the very quint essence of medical science on this important subject; as the result of the experience of the most eminent physician in Europe and Amer ica is thoroughly demonstrated in his own highly successful practice in the treatment of aerrtt diseases in many thousands of cares in the City of Philadelphia alone. The |racliceof Dr. Hunter has long boen, and still is literally unbounded, but at Ihe ear nest solicitation of numerous persons, he has been induced to extend the sphere of his pro fessional usefulness to the community at large, through the medium of his "Medi at Manual Hand-Book for tho Afflic'ed.'* It is a volume that should be in the hand of every family in the laud, whether used as a preventive of scciet vice, or as a gnide for the alleviation of one of the most awful and de structive scourges ever visited upon mankind for the sina of sensuality and impurity of every k! d. It is a volume that has received the unquali fied recommendation of the first physicians in the land, while many clergymen, fathers, moth ers, ] hilanlhropists and humanitarians, have most freely extended its circulation in all quar ters where its powerful teachings would he like ly to be instrumental in the moral purification and pbvM.'al healing of multitude] of our peo ple, among the young, volatile and indiscreet, otherwise the pride and flower of the nation. The authoi argues particularly, most strongly against every species of self-defilement, and warns parents and guardians, in searching terms, to guard Ihe young of both sexes fr-m the terrible consequences concomitant of their ignorance of pliy'olcgicnl laws and sexual im purities and irregularities, whether exhibited ny precocious development or nrising fiom the viscious and corrupting oxamples of their school, mates or otheiwise. To those who have hcea already cnanarcd to the "paths that take hold on hell,'* a clear and explicit way is shown by which they may secure a return of sound health and a regeneration of the soul from its terrible pollution. It is well known that thousands of victims arc annually sacrificed at tlio shrine of Quack cry —especially those suffering from Venecoul or Syphilitic diseases—Strictures, Seminal Wcnk ne-s, Nervous Debility, and the numernes mal adies which spring directly or less remotely from the indulgence of carual passions and se cret viol ilinns of Nature, In view of these fuels, and when it is also considered that shoot 100,000 persons die annu ally iu the United Brutes of Conoumplion—a large majority being the victims of the voluput ous indiscretion of their progenitors, agreeably to the Scriptural enunciation, that the sins of the parents are visited upon the children, even to tho third and fourth gcneiation.
