ion, birth, infancy youth, manhood, old age, and death
of man; of health and disease, marriage and celibacy, virtue and vice,
happiness and misery; of education, development and the laws of a true
life. It is intended to answer all questions, and to give the fullest and
most reliable information on every subject of a physiological or medical
nature--to be a faithful friend in health and disease, and in all the
conditions of life, especially to the young of both sexes, and those who
are about to enter upon new relations.

It contains the highest and deepest truths in Human Physiology, with their
individual and social application; the true nature and hidden causes of
disease; the condition of health, physical and passional; all that
information which every human being needs, which few dare to ask for, or
know how to obtain, but which, amid the discordances of civilization, is
of priceless value.

The portion of the work on the generative system, is written with entire
frankness and fully illustrated, and is unquestionably the most remarkable
exposition of the physical, spiritual, and passional nature of man ever
written--so remarkable indeed, that it has seemed to many persons to be
the result of direct inspiration. The whole subject of the relations of
the sexes, or love, marriage, and paternity, is laid open, as it never has
been by any other author. A miscellaneous chapter, forming an appendix to
this portion of the work, is also of a very remarkable character. It has
been truly said, "There can scarcely be any important question, which any
man or woman can ever need to ask a physician, to which this book does not
contain an answer." The diseases of the generative system, physical and
passional, are treated of with great fitness.

Hundreds of voluntary testimonials to the extraordinary character and
merits of this book have been received from persons eminently qualified to
judge, among which are clergymen, physicians, lawyers, college professors,
etc. We select the following:

"I look upon it," says Dr. STEPHENS, of Forest City, N.Y., "as the
most wonderful book ever written. It marks a new era in literature
and life."

"What a pity," says Dr. SCHELL, of Ind., "that a copy cannot be
found in every family in the whole world!"

"This book," says Dr. DODGE, of Owego, N.Y., "contains more that is
weighty in fact, and sound in philosophy; more that is useful in
medical science a
