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
cretiOns, by unnatural aid or emissions weakens
the system more than the abstraction of forty
ounces Of blood. One of the FIRST writers on
medical jurisprudence states that threefourths of
the insane owe their malady to such abuse.
How importadt then, it is-fOr every one hay
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 INDUCED
in the soul-killing habit. The treatment pursued
by the justly celebrated DR.. J. C. Young in cases
OF seminal weakness, impotency, sterility ner
vOuS debility and paralysis, (the last is the most
dangerous and when it once occurs incurablel
is not surpassed by any physician in the country
1t Is the same as that followed by him for wears
under the guidance of the world-renowned Rec.
ord of Paris, and Acton of London. Dr. Young's
office is at the corner of Montgomery and Cali

all other private diseases, with the utmost conf
dence and secrecy. DR.. Young will warrant
