IMPORTANT to the afflicted

! "a
III H. Among the most dreadful maladies that can
betal a man is that of SYPHILIS. From its first ap-
peaTance hundreds of years ago, to the present
day its ravages in whatever form they have as
sumed, have been loathesome and revolving to
the eye. How highly necessary it is then that
those who are afflicted with this direful disease
should have 1t attended to at once without a mo-
ment's delay. If person discovers that he has
any premOnitOry symptoms of Syphilis and al
lows himself to be placed under the care of mex
perienced and incompetent hands or suffers him
self to undergo no treatment at all, these affec
t0ns will disappear to be followed at no distant
day by series of symptoms resulting in a form
of SyphaliS more malignant and dreadful than
before. This is the fatal consequence of pro-
crastinatiOn, or result of the fell hands of the
mOuntebank. Imagine then the horror, the de-
spair of the poor unfortunate victim as he beholds
the most vrulent form of ulcers in his throat on
his lips and in his nasal foss9 In short he sees
himself covered from head to foot with excres-
cences and supperatlng tumors. His situation is
deplOrable in the extreme. Constant an unceasinr
pains rack every bone; his head aches continally
the nails on his fingers peal off and in short there
Is general debility which brings on marasnus and
DEATH To those who would avoid all this and
desire to be saved DIR. j. G. Young assumes the
responsibility, and herewith states that whenever
any OF the primary symptoms of this disease make
Their appearance (either in chancres, flow of
matter or mucous puStules) to call Immediately
on him and place themselves under his treatment.
1t is now conceded that no member of the faculty
better understands the treatment of this disease
than he. This one disease has been his study for
years, and he now takes pride in openly declar-
ing that he is able and also pledges himself to
cure Syphilis in any and every form, whether it
be primary, secondary or tertiary. His treatment
Is rational and eficacious. The rules of hygiene
no physician better understands who attempts to
act upon them.

MA swell clerk from the city of New
York, who was spending an evening in a
country tavern, cast about him for some
amusement. Feeling secure in the possess

Il will drop money into hat with any
man in the room. The one who holds ont
the longest shall take the whole and treat
the company"
"I'll do it," said an old farmer.

LIKE AND NOT LIKE.-A lawyer at Pough-
keepsie was applied to during his lifetime
by an iudigent neighbor for his opinion on
a question of law in which the interests Of
the latter were materially involved. The
lawyer gave his advice and charged the poor
fellow three dollars for it.
There is the money" said his client, "it
is all | have in the world, andmy family has
been long time without pork"
Thank God!'' replied the lawyer, "my
wife never knew the want of pork since we
were married"
"Nor never will" the cOuntryman re-

The indulgence in secret practices is the most
certain, though not always the most immediate
and direct, avenue to destruction. Physicians of
all ages have been most unanimously of the Opin-
ion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal Sc
cretlons, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens
the system more than the abstraction of forty
ounces Of blood. One of the FIRST writer's on
medical Jurisprudence states that three-fourths of
the insane owe their malady to such abuse.
How lmportadt then, it is-for every one hav-
ing the least cause to suspect any trouble in that
way, to attend to it Immediately; even one single
occurrence should be sufficient to cause doubt,
and much more so if the person had ever indulged
in the soul-killing habit. The treatment pursued
by the justly celebrated Or. j. C. Young in cases
OF seminal weakness, lmpOtency, sterility, ner-
vous debility and paralysis (the last is the most
dangerous, and when it once occurs incurable)
is not surpassed by any physician in the country.

AS if he who refused 10 work his brains or
soil his hand could, by any ingenuity of rea.

We thank Heaven that the old prejudices
respecting The dehasing. influences OF labor,
are fast falling away. The abolition Of many
Of the old laws and customs of the mother
county, of which the law of primogeniture
is not the least important, has done very
much to eradcade these prejudices. A
healthier opinion has been generated in this
healthy atmosphere Of America. Here a
man must needs labor, in order to insure re-
spectabili,y. An idler is character whose
boasts the community will moi tolerate. A
professed drone is a being in absolute and
unqualified contempt. A man must have
done something, at some time in his life, te
warrant the enjoyment of unbroken leisure
