THIS BOOK IS ALL THAT ITS TITLE INDICATES.—­It treats of the generation, formation, 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 and effective in medical art; more that is purificative and elevative of man than any one work, in volumes few or many that has ever grace the Librarie Medicale of civilization.”

     “It contains,” says Dr. BAKER, of Racine, Wis. “just such knowledge
     as a suffering world needs, to enlighten, develop, and ennoble the
     minds of the people.”
