symptoms of this hOrrid disease make their appear
ance, such as liberated throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains i'll the head and limbs dmness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms blOches
on the head, faceaRd eXtremites progressing with
rightu rapdy, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones of the nose fall in and the victim of this
fn disease becomes holid object of commlseratOn,
till death puts period to his dreadful suferings, by
sending him to Fthat bourne whence no traveller

suffer to an Hntmely grave, or else make the residue
of his life miserable.

Structure. Yet this disease may exist, and none of

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Young men who have injured themselves by GER
tain practice INDUCED in when alone-a habit fre-
quently learned from evil companions, or at school
the effects of which are nightly felt even when asleep,
and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and de-
srOys both mind and body.
What pity that young man, the hope Of his
country, and the darling of his parents should be
snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequences of devatng from the path of
nature and INDUCING in Z certain secret habit Such
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that sound and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote eonnubial happiness
Indeed, without these, the j0ufney through life be-
comes weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
ems to the view-the mind becomes shadowed with
despair and filled with the melancholy reflection that
the happiness OF another becomes blighted with our
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.

IMP OTEN CE-TPEAKNESS OF THE GEM
tai ORGANS
Loss of virile power is the penalty most frequently
paid by those who give loose rein or license TO their
passions. Young persons too apt TO commit ex-
cesses from not bGing aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although mpotency occurs from
structure, depositeS i'll the urine, grave and from
Eerous other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual Or
gans by excessive venery selfp0lIution; particu
iarly the latter is the frequent of it, Now
who that understandable subject will pretend TO deny
that The mower of procreaRg The species is lost soon
by those who practice the solitary rice than by the
prudent Besides, by premature impotence the d.
gestlve functions dCranged, and the physical and
mental powers weakened by too frequent and too
great excitement of the genital organs. Parents and
guardians are often misled, with respect TO the
ca asses sources of disease in their and wards.
How often do they ascribe TO other the vast
ing the frame, idOtcy Madness palpitation Of the
heart, indigestion, arrangement OF the nervous sys-
TEN, cough and SYMPTOMS, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that they have been caused by in
duging in perniciOus, though aluring practice, des
tructive TO both mind and body.
LNHOL UNT8RY SEMINAL ElfISSl oNS,
OF this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit but very
brief description for many reasons, be given here
l ne complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by
too hasty discharge of in copulative and mas
slonate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
have no power while the ercctions are feeble imper-
feet and soon over. As the disorder grows worse
the discharges or emissions become mere easily ex-
cited and frequent, often brought by aseivious
IDEAS, or by merely touching the part I'm this deplo-
rable case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure ana without erection, and in this debiitaed
and sensitive state of the organs the diref effects of
pollution so ruinous to health, take place dav and
Hlght Pale, emaciated and weak, the unhappy VIC
tim OF artificial qualification complains Of pain in The
head and back has langud look, dimness OF sight,
flushing of the face when spoken TO- owness of spi
rits, and vague dread of something, often starting
with terror at sudden sight or sound. He also
loaths society, from an innate sense OF shame, and
feels dislike TO all bodily and mental eEerron,--
Distressed, and his mind fixed upon his miseries he
slyly searches every source that promises relief.
Ashamed TO make known his situation TO his friends,
or those who by education dyand practical know
ledge, are able to relieve him, he applies to the igno-
rant and designing, who fitch HIM of his pecuniary
substance, and instead Of restoring him TO health,
leave him TO sigh over his calling disappointment the
last scene of the drama winds up with MANIA cata-
lepsy epilepsy some terrible disease of the nerves.
and death drops the curtain, hurrying the unhappy
| patsnt TO an unmev tomb, where his friends are
totaHy ignorant of the real cause.
