full consequences that may ensue. Now, who that
understands the subject will pretend to deny that
the power of Procreation is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits by the prudent. Be-
sides being deprived the pleasure of healthy Off
spring, the most serious and dest uctive symptoms
to both body and mind arise. The system becomes
deranged, the physical and mental powers weaken
ed, nervous debility, dyspepsia, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, a wasting of the frame, cough,
symptoms of consumption, ect.
Nervous Debility.
Weakness of the system Nervous Debility and
premature decay. generally arise from the Des-
~tructive habit of youth, that solitary practice Sc
fatal to the healthful existence Of man, and it il
the young who are most apt to become its Victim:
from an ignorance of the dangers to which the!
subject themselves. Parents and Guardians ar
often mislead with respect to the cause or sourc
of disease in their sons and wards. Alas hoy
often do they ascribe to Their causes, the wastin
of the frame, PalpitatiOn of the Heart, Dyspep
sy, indigestion, arrangement of the Nervous Sys
TEN, Cough, and Symptoms of Consumption, als'
those serious Mental effects, such as loss of men
ory, depression of spirits or peculiar fits of MelaI
choly, when the truth is they have been caused b
indulging in Pernicious but alluring practices, de
tructive to both Body and Mind. Thus are swel
from existence, thousands who might have bee
of use to their Country, a pleasure to their frien'
and ornaments 70 Society,

il A Certain Disease.
y When the misguided and imprudent votary
} pleasure finds he has inhibited the seeds of
70 painful disease, it too often happens that an
g timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
tiers him from applying to those who, from edu
[, ton and fespectability, can alone befriend b
I delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
d horrid disease make their appearance such as
r. cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pa
Is in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafn
re nodes on the shin bones and arms, blOtches on
of head, face, and e%xtremities, progressing with fis
y full r%apidity, till at last the palate of the moutl
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim of
N awful disease becomes a horrid object ofcommis,
ton till death puts a period to his dreadful sui
re- ings by sending them to g that bourne from whe
no traveller returns" To such therefore

es violable secrecy. and from his extensive prac
