A CERTAIN DISEASE.

case, il too often happens that an ill-med sense OF
shane or dread of discovery, deters him from apply

deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, botches
on the head, faceanG eXremites, progressing on with
lghtfu raPdity, till at last the palate of The mouth or
the boxes of the fall in and the victim of this
III disease becomes hotrid object of commseration,
till death puts period to his dreadful sufierings by
sending him to ''hat bourne whence no traveller re-
| turns" To such, therefore, Or. JOHNSTON pledges

What a pity that a young man, the hope of his

Should reflect that a sound and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote communal happiness.
Indeed without these, the journey through life be-

the happiness OF another becomes bighted with our

IMP o TEN CE-WEAKNESS OF THE GEM
TIL ORGANS,
Loss of Virile power is the penalty mostfteq uently
paid by those who give loose rein or license to their
passions. Young persons are too apt TO commitex-
cesses tlom not being aware Of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occurs from
structure deposites in the urine gravel and from
mefous other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual Or
gaus, BY excessive vCHeTy or scli-poluOn; particu
ary the latter is the more frequent cause of it, Now
who that understands the subject viii pretend to deny
that the power of prOcreatng the species lost soon
or by those who practice the solitary rice than by tho
prudent Besides, by premature impotence the d-
gestive functions deranged, and the physical and
mental powers weakened by too frequent and TOO
great excitement of the genital organs Parents and
guardians are often mIsed, VITA respect TO me
causes or of disease in their sons and wards.
How often do they ascribe to other causes the vast
ing ofthe frame, idotcy, madness, palpaton 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
dulgng in pemicious, though aluring practice, des
tructve to both mind and body.
INVOL UNT.fRY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
OF this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit but very
brief descr pOn for many reasons, can be gwen here
The complaint comes Oh gradually. ii begins by a
too hasty discharge of semen liz copulave and pas
siOnate dreams. Such emissions being too TASTY,
have no power, while the erectons are feeble per-
feet and soon As the disorder grows worse
the discharges or emissions become more easily ex-
cited and frequent, often brought by ascivious
IDEAS by merely touching the part In this deplo-
rable case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erectiOn and in this debiated
and sensitive state of the organs the dteu effects of
pollution so ruinous TO health, take place day and
tight. Pale emaciated, and weak, the unhappy vic
tim OF artificial qualification complains OF pain in the
head and back, has languid look, dinness of sight,
flushing of the face when spoken lCWness of spi-
rits, and vague dread of thing often starting
with terror at sudden sight or sound. He also
