THE Author of the above ¿3S"
volume is a graduate of mSJ
one of the first medical schoolsl__
in the United States and having devoted
quarter of a century to tho study and treat-
ment of Syphilis and kindred disorders as a
speciality, fie has become possessed of most
invaluable information in regard to tho same
aud is able to compress into vudo mecuui com-
pass tho very quintessence of medical scienco
on this important subject; ss tho result of tho
experience of tho most eminent physicians in
Europe and America is thoroughly demon-
strated in his own highly suecossful practice
in the treatment of secret diseases in many
thousands of oases in the City of Philadelphia
alone.
The practico of Dr. Iluntor hfis long hecn,
and still is litorally unboundod, but at the
earnest, solicitation of numerous persons, he
has been induced to extend the sphere of his
irofcssional usefulness to the community at
_arge, through tho medium of his "Medical
Manuel and Handbook for the Afflicted."
It is a volume that should bo in,the hand
of ovory family in the land, frhcihor used as
a preventivo of secret vices, or ss a guide for
the alleviation of one of the most awful and
ilostructivo sources cvor visited upon man-
kind for the sins ofsonsnality aud impurity of
overy kind.
It is a volume that has received the unquali-
fied recommendation ..f tbe first physicians in
the land, while many clergymen, fathers,
mothers, philanthropists and humanitarians,
liavo most freely extended its circulation in
ail quarters where its powerful teachings
would be .likely to be instrumental in the
moral purification and physical healing of
multitudes of our people, among the young,
volatile and indiscreet, otherwise tho pride
and flower of tho nation.

the terrible oonsequonces concomitantof their
Ignorance of physiological laws and sexual
impurities and irregularities, whether exhib-
ited by precocious development or arising frotp
the Vicious and corrupting examples of their
school-mates or otherwise. To those who have
been already ensnared to tho "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
are annually sacrificed at the shrine ofQuaok-
ery—especially those suffering from Ysnoreal
or Syphilitic diseases—Strictures, Seminal
Weakness, Nervous Debility, and the numer-
ous maladios whioh spring directly or less re-
motely from tho indulgence of oarnal passions
and scoret violations of Nature.
In view of these facts, nnd when it is also
considered that abont 100,000 persons die an-
nually in theU nited Statss of Consumption—
a large minority being the viotims of the vol-
uptuous indlsoretion of their' progenitors,
agreeably to the Sariptnral enunciation', that
the sins of tho parents aro visited upoi>>the

ation.—The Author, imbued with sentiments
