Nervous Debility

tructive habit of youth, that solitary practice so !
fatal to the healthful existence of man, and it is
the young who are most apt to become its Victims
from an ignorance of the dangers to which they
subject themselves. Parents and Guardians are
often mislead with respect to the cause or source
Of disease in their sons and wards. Alas how
often do they ascribe to ether causes, the wasting

TEN, Cough, and Symptoms of Consumption, also,

A Certain Disease.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, de-
tiers him from applying to those who, from educa-
ton and respectability, can alone befriend him
delaying till the constitutional symptoms Of this
horrid disease make their appearance such as ul
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pain
in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness
nodes onthe shin bones and arms, hlotches on tn
head, face, and extremities, progressing with fright
full rapidly, till at last the palate Of the mouth 0
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim Of thi
awful disease becomes ahorrid object Of commisera
