the discharges or emissions become more easily ex-
cited and frequent, often brought on by ascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the Part. In this dep0
rAble case, the emissions take mace without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debtated
and sensitive state of the organs the dreu effects of
