ance, such liberated throat, diseased nose,

deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms bloches
on the head, faceand extremes progressing on with
trghtful rapidiiy, till AZ last the palate of the mouth OF
the bones Of the nose fall in and the victim Of this aw-
full disease becomes hOtrd object of COMMUNICATION,
TIL death puts period to his dreadful sufIerings by

parts frequent desire TO make water it is called
Structure. Yet this disease may exist, and none
these symptoms be perceptibe, or II at all, they
so slight as to pass annoticed; hence, we find thou

stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia also affec-

Young men whe have injured themselves by ceI
tain practice INDUCED in when aone-a habit frs
Quenty learned nom evil companions, at school,
the effects of which are nightly felt when asleep,
and if cured renders marriage impossible, and de-
sToys both mind and body.
What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, and the darling of his parents should be
| snaehed from all the prospects and eniOyments OF
life by the consequences of deviating from the path OF
nature and induging in certain secret habit. Such
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reject that soHnd 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 shaduw6e with
despair, and filed with the melancholy reflection thai
the happiness Of another becomes blighted with our
own,

Of this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit, but very
brief description for many can be given here
The complaint comes on gradually. ii begins by a
too hasty discharge of semen III cOpaative and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty
have Hopower while the ercctions feeble impeI-

the discharges or emissions become more aSiIv eY-
cited and frequent, often brought on hv lascyious
ideas, or by merely touching the part In TINS deplo
riklc case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this dcbiitated
