is not in the catalogue of human malades one more
to be deprecated than this, well because of pres

the system under its detoriorating influence is
either impaired or entirely destroyed, and a class
of symptoms superinduced, that units man for the

The injuries done to the physical part of man are
truly lamentable, but trlding when compared to
those of the censorium, the great nervous centre.
and to the great nervous system generally This
disease which is too often consequent upon that SOL
itary vice seli-abuse, involves pathological cond-
tions beyond the comprehension of the uninitiated
put which are well understood by the regular prac

are the following Love of solitude aversion Ia

man family is more liable than that arising from

clan to look at disease il affects health and le

OF all the ills that affect man, none are more ter

in destruction and loahsome grave, it becomes of
still greater importance when ii is transmitted to

cessary il becomes that every one having reason to
fear that they have contracted the disease. should
attend to it at once by consulting some physician
whose respectability and education enables him TO
warrant a 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 We
nerea 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
