CPERMATORRHGA, or LOCAL WEAKNEss.-Dr.
- CZAPKAY, late lecturer on Diseases Of women
and children. and chief Surgeon of the Military
Hospital of Pesth, Hungary, would call public at
tention to spermatorrhna or local weakness There
is not in the catalogue of human malades one more
to be deprecated than this, well because of pres
ent distress, as the ultimate results The tone of
the system under its deterioratng influence is
either impaired or entirely destroyed, and a class
of symptoms supernduced, that units man for the
performance of any of the ordinary duties of life.
The injuries done to the physical part of man are
truly Iamentable, but trihing when compared to
those of the censorum, the great nervous centre,
and to the great nervous system generally. This
disease which is too often consequent upon that sol
tary vice, selfabuse, involves pathological condi-
tions beyond the comprehension of the uninitated,
but which are well understood by the regular prac
titioner. Among the symptoms most conspicuous
are the following Love of solitude, aversion to
business and society, distressing tmdity. nervous
excitement from sli ght causes loss of memory,
fusion Of ideas, inability TO correctly, low
spirits and lassitude, dullness of apprehension and
msanthropy These being functional derar ge-
ments. are often the harbingers of horrid organic
LESSONS of the brain, which produces faulty demen-
tia and death.
For the cure of this and all kindred of diseases,
DR. Czapkay has established his Institute, where all
map rely with perfect confidence upon that skill
which long experience and thorough devotion to
his profession has given. Those who suffer should
call without delay, and the means by which they
may recuperate and live. All consultation by let
