CONSTITUTIONAL Debility, or seminal weak
~ ness-Dr Young addresses those who have in
jurcd themsevcd by private and improper indul-
gences in that secret and solitary habit which ruins
the body and mind uniting them for either bust
ness or society. The following are some of the sad
and melancholy effects produced by early habits of
youth viz Weakness in the back and limbs. pain
in the head, dimness of sight loss of muscular pow
er, palptation Of the heart dyspepsia nervousness
iTitability; arrangement of the digestive functions
general debility, symptoms of consumption DC.
MENTALLY the fearful effects on the mind are
more to be dreaded. Loss of memory confusion of
ideas, depression of spirits. evil forebodings ever
sion to society, sclfdistrust love of solitude, tmid
ity, &c, &c, are some Of the evils produced.
All persons who afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on Dr. Y.
and be at once restored to perfect health. Let no
false delicacy prevent you, but apply Immediately,
and save yourself from the dreadful and awful con
sequences of this terrible malady.
Weakness of the Organs Immediately cured, and
full vgor restored. DIR. J. c. YOUNG,
