Loss of virile power is the penalty mostfreq uentv
paid by those who give loose rein or license TO theI
passions. Young persons are too apt to commitex-
cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency from
srieture deposes in the urine, gravel, and from nu-
merous other causes yet the abuse of the sexual Of
gans, by excessive venery or se-pollution particu
ary the latter is the more frequent of it. Now
who that understands the subject will pretend to deny
that the power of procreang the species is lost soon
er by those VINO practice the solitary rice than by the
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the d.

mental powers weakened by too frequent and too

How often do they ascribe to other the vast

when the truth is that they have been caused by in

INVOLUNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS,
OF this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit but very
brief description for many can be given here
The complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by
too hasty discharge of in copulatve and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
have power while the erections are feeble mper-
feet and soon over. As the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become more easily
cited and frequent, often brought on by lascvious
ideas, by merely touching the part, In this depo
rfbie case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection and in this debiiated
and sensitive state Of the organs the dlfefu effects Of
pollution ruinOus to health, take place day and
| night. Pale, emaciated and weak the unhappy VIC
tim of artificial qualification complains of pain in the
head and back, has languid look, dimness of sight,
