Organic Weakness
Immediately cured, and full vigor restored.
This disease is the penalty most frequently paid
by those who have become the victims of improp-
er indulgencSs. Young persons are too apt to
excuses from not helm o. n yara of tha dread
fui 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 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 other causes, the wasting
of the frame, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspep-
sy, indigestion, arrangement of the Nervous Sys-
tenn, Cough, and Symptoms of Consumption also,
those serious Mental effects, such as loss of Nom
DRY, depression of spirits or peculiar fits of Melan-
choly, when the truth is they have been caused by
lndulglng in PerniciOuS but alluring practices, des-
tructiye to both Body and Mind. Thus are swept

in the head and ears when asleep, great nervous
ness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and bash

times with arrangement of mind, were cured i'm
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds Of TIL
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 responsibility, can alone befrlend hin
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of thi
horrid disease make their appearance such as u
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pair
in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness
nodes on the shin bones and arms, hlotches on tn
head, face, and e~xtremities, progressing with frigh
full rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim of tn
awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiser;
ton till death puts a period to his dreadful SUITE
ings by sending them to " that bourne from whent
no traveller returns" To such therefore ID
yiolable secrecy, and from his extensive practlt
in the first hospitals in Europe and America,
can confidently recommend a safe and speedy Gu
to the unfortunate victim of this horrid disease.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall vi
Tins to this dreadful disease, owing to the unsk
fulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use
that dreadful poison, mercury, ruin the constit
!. ton, and either send the unfortunate sufferer
|, an u~ntimely grave, or else make the residue Of
, life miserable.
