disease which is too often consequent upon that sol

any more with emissions, and the pain in my head
and back and the weakness in my limbs have left
me- and so has the dizziness timidity, and the wish
always to be alone. | am not afraid to go in com

when any little thing would set me trembling. |

CONSTITUTIONAL Debility or seminal weak
~ ness.--Dr. Young addresses those who have in
iured themselved 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 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 papitation Of the heart dyspepsia nervousness,
irritabilty; arrangement of the digestive functions,
general debility symptoms of consumption, &c.
MENTALLY the fearful effects on the mind are
more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of
ideas depression of spirits, evil forebodngs aver
sion to society, seldstrust love of solitude tlmid-
ity, &c, &c. are some of the evils produced.
All persons who are 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.

IMPORTANT TO MINERS, TRAVELLERS, ETc.-There
i is no malady of deeper importance either in a
medical or moral point of view, to which the hu-
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As medical man, il is the duty of every phys-
clan to look at disease it affects health and life.
and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far as
lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Hum1n ma
ture at best is but fra all liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man, none are more ter
ribe than those of private nature Dreadful as
il is in the person who contracts it, rightful as are
its ravages upon his constitution ending frequently
in destruction and loathsome grave it becomes of
still greater importance when ii is transmitted to
innocent offspring Such being the case how ne
cessary il becomes that every one having reason to
fear that they have contracted the disease, should
attend to il at once by consulting some physician
whose respcctabity and education enables him to
warrant safe speedy, and permanent cure. In ac-
cordance with this necessity, DR.. Young feels called
upon to state that, by long study and extensive
practice he has become perfect master of all those
diseases. which come under the denomination of ve-
nereal and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other physician in the United States
he feels himself better qualified TO treat them
Syphilis in all its forms, such as ulcers, swelling
in the grons ulcers in the throat secondary syphil
is cutaneous eruptions ulcerations tertiary syphil-
is syphilis in children, mercureal syphilc alice
tons gonorrhGa, gleet, structures. false passages,
inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands,
excoratons tumors, postules, etc. are as familiar
to him as the most common things of daily observa-
ton.
The Doctor effects cure in recent cases in few
DAYS and finds no difficulty in curing those of long
duration. without submitting the patient to such
treatment as will draw upon him the slightest sus
pcion or oblige him to neglect his business, wheth
er within doors or without. The diet need not be
changed, except in cases of severe inflammation
There are in California patients amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could furnish
proof of this but these are matters that require
the incest secresy which he always preserves.
All letters, enclosing $40, will be promptly at
tended to. Office hours from A. NJ. to 7. NJ.
