Loss of virile power is the penalty mostrre1 uentlv
paid by those who give loose rein or license thei
passions. young persons are too apt to commute L
cesses from not being aware OF the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although mpotency occurs from
structure, dePosites in the urine gravel and from nu
merous other causes yet the abuse Of the sexual oy-
gans, by excessive yeneTy or seltpnluton; pardcu
arly the latter is the frequent cause OF it, Now
who that understands the subject will TO DENY

gestve functions are deranged and the physical ana
mental powers weakened by n too freouent and ,oo
