CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.

Or SEMINAL WEAK NEss .-Dr.
Young addresses those who have injur-
ed themselves by private and improper
indulgences in that SC cret and solitary
habit which ruins the body and mind
uniting them for either business Or So
ciety. The following are some Of the
sad and melancholy effects produced by
early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head,
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power,
palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, ner-
vousness, irritability, arrangement of
the digestive functions. general debility,
symptoms of consumption &c.
Mentally the fearful effects on the
mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of
memory, confusion of ideas, depression
of spirits, evil forebodings, aversion to
society, f-distrust, love of solitude,
timidity, &C., are some Of the evils pro-
duced.
All persons who are afflicted with any
Of the above symptoms should not fail
to call on DR.. Young, and be at once
restored to perfect health. Let no false
delicacy prevent you, but apply imme-
diately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences VI this
terrible malady.

A few days since, We were Ia a village
about one hundred miles from Cinclnna.
tI;and having stepped into store, while
warming ourself by tho stove, a citizen
ofthc place came In and asked the store
keeper TO lend him a se.blanket 10
wrap achld In. He was about TO take
II 10 the con ~ poor-house. II WAS u
cold day, and the wind blew plelelngly.
From the conversation We learned that
IL WAS a child which they had taken
from drunken mother But recently
they had found the molhar lying in the
gutter. with the child by her almost
perished. Poor child we involunta-
rily exclaimed; and then thoughts
rushed up in our mind. What liquor
dealer could be the brute TO furnish
a poor mother with the Intoxicating
draught-a mother with child in her
armsl VIII grave politicians oppose
the enactment of "prohibitory law"
in Ohio, when such scenes as these
transpire in some Of our most intelli-
goht towns? There goes the child to
the poor house, wrapped in the bor-
rowed horse-blanket, to be cared for
at the expense Of the county. Blessed
be God. who has given us his gospel
through the influence Of which provis-
ion is made for the wrelched and dcs-
titute. But will the price which the
liquor seller paid the government for
his license balance the expense of the
county in providing for the child; and
perhaps for the mother too? When
will some politicians be wise.-Pres-
byierian ofA West.
