OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" This is a work that we fear there exists too
much need for, to cause us to hesitate to recom-
mend it for general perusal. Every branch of
those frightful maladies, whether the result of
immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly
treated, and divested of all medical technicality ;
plain and easy directions are given for the best
mode to be pursued in all cases, however com-
plicated or apparently hopeless. To the mar-
ried, as well as the unmarried, this little work
alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar
cases, and ue are doing a service to society in
recommending it to general notice." — Essex
and Herts Mtrcuri/.
" This work, a Tenth Edition of which is
now presented to the public, te)i thousand copies
having been exhausted since its first appearance,
has been very much improved and enlarged by
the addition of a more extended and clear detail
of general principles, as also by the insertion of
several new and highly interesting cases. We
feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no
member of society by whom the book will not
be found useful, whether such person hold the
relation of a pakent, a preceptor, or a
CLERGTiiAN." — Sun, Evening Paper.
" Messrs Curtis's work, entitled ' Manhood,'
is one of the few books now coming before the
public on such a subject, which can lay claim to
the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all
who read it. The moral and medical precepts
given in it render it invaluable." — Magnet,
" The perusal of Messrs Curtis's book, en-
titled ' Manhood,' has really astonished us, by
developing a series of maladies, the never- failing
consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out be-
tween the assigned cause and the effects, is per-
ceptible to every capacity." — Age.
