A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary OF plea
sure finds he has imbbGd the seeds tthis painful dis
shame, or dread of discovery, deers him from apply
ing to those who, from education and respGctaDhly

symptoms of this hOrrid disease make their appear
ance, such as uceraIed throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs Guinness OF sight,
deafness, nodes the shin bones and arms, botches
on the head faceand exremites, progressing on with
ghtfu rapdity, till at last the palate OF the mouth OF
the bones of the fall in and the victim OF this eW-

| Young men who have injured themselves by Ger
tain practice INDUCED in when alone-a habit FIRE
quently learned from evil companions, or at school
the effects of which are nightly felt even when asleep
and if cured renders marriage impossible, and de-
stroys both mind and body
What a pity that young man, the hope OF hia
country and the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all the prospects and enJoyments OF
life by the consequences Of deviang from the path OF
nafure and ndulgng in certain secret habit. Such
persons before contemplating
| MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that sound and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote cOnnubia happiness.
Indeed without these, the journey through life be-
comes weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
| ems to the view-the mind becomes Swallowed with
despair and filled with the melancholy reflection, Il
the happiness of another becomes blighted with our
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.

idred themselves by private improper ndulgences.
| IMP OTEN CE- OF THE GEM
tai ORGANS.
Loss of vrile power is the penalty mosl(req uently
paid by those who give loose rein or license to their
passions. Young persons are too apt to commite K
cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although mpotency occurs from
structure, dGpOsites in the urine, gravel, ana from nu
merOus other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual or
cans, by excessive vGnery or selt-pOuOn; particu
larry the latter is the frequent of it, Now
who that understands the subject will pretend to deny
that the power of procreatng the species lost
|
prudent. Besides, by premature Impotence the di-
| eestve functions deranged, and the physical and
mental powers weakened by a too frequent and too
great excitement of the genital organs. Parents and
guardians often mised, with respect 10 the
causes of disease in their SONS and wards
How often do they ascribe to other causes the vast
ing the frame, diotcy madness, papitation OF the
heart, indigestion, arrangement OF the nervous sys-
TEN, cough and symtOms, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that they have been caused by in
duging in pernicous, though aluring Practice des
tructive to both mind and body.
INVOL UNT.ARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
OF this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit, but very
brief description for many reasons can be gwen here
The complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by a
too hasty discharge of semen in copulatve and pas
| sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
have no power, while the ercctions feeble, mpeT-
feet and soon over. As the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become easily ex-
cited and frequent often brought on by lascyious
ideas, BY merely touching the part. In this dcplo-
| rable case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this dehiiaeG
and sensitive state of the organs the diTetul effects OF
pollution runous to health, take place day ano
night Pale, emaciaed, and weak, the unhappy VIC"
tim of artificial qualification complains OF pam IN inc
head and back, has languid look, dnness OF slgh,
flushing of the face when spoken 10, lOwnesS oil sp-
rts, and vague dread of something, ohen Staruhg
| with terror at sudden sight or sound lie also
loaths society, from an innate sense oil shame, anu
feels dislike to all bodily and mental ekerton.-
Distressed, and his mind fixed upon MS nlsefles, ne
| slyly searches every source mat promises rellet,
| Ashamed to make known his situation to his friends,
or those who by education, study,and practical know
ledge are able TO relieve him, he applies to the gno-
rant and designing, who fitch him of his peCuniar
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-
epsv epilepsy or some terrible disease of the nerves
and death drops the curtain, hurrying the unhapp
natient TO an untimely tomb, where his frendsm
trotasy ignorant of the real cause.
