A CERTAIN DISEASE.
when the misguided andimprudent vota ry of plea

ease 1t too often happens that an ill-med sense OF
shame, or dread of discovery, deers him from apply

till death puts period TO his dreadful sufferngs, by
sending him to fthat bourne whence no traveller re-

himself to preserve the lost nviOable secrecy and,
nom his extensive practice in the first hospitals OF
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
safe and speedy cure TO the unfortunate victim OF
this hond disease.
1t is melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
to this horrid disease, owing 10 the unskfuIness OF
men, who by the use of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitution and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an Hntimely grave else make the residue

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.

TIL ORGANS.
Loss of vire power is the penalty mOstfreq uently
paid by those who give loose rein or license theiE
passions. Young persons are too apt TO commute K
cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occurs from
structure, deposites in the urine, gravel and from
merous other causes yet the abuse of the sexual
gans, by excessive vencry or seltp0ution; partcu
larry the latter is the frequent of it, Now
who that understands the subject Will pretend to deny
that the power OF pfocreatng the species is lost
er by those who practice the solitary vice than by the
/ prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di-
gestve functions are deranged, and the physical and
mental powers weakened by too frequent and too
great excitement of the genital organs. Parents and
| guardians are often msled, with respect to the
sources of disease in their and wards.

OF this distressing disease which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit but very
