READ AND REFLECT.

If there's an hereafter,
And that there is conscience, uninfuenced,
And suffered to speak out tells every man.
Then it is awful thing to die,
More horrid yet to die at ones own hand.
Shall Nature, swerving from her earliest dictate,
Self-preservation, fall by its own act?
Forbid it Heayen
The indulgence in secret pratice is the most
certain, though not always the most immedi-
ate and direct avenue to destruction. Physi-
clans of all ages have been most unanimously
of opinion that the loss of one ounce of semi
nal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions,
weakens the system more than the abstraction
of forty ounces of blood. One of the FIRST
writers ON medical jurisprudence states that
three-fourths of the insane owe their malady to
such abuse.
How important, then, it is for every one, hav-
ing the least cause to suspect any trouble in
that way, to attend to it Immediately; even
one single occurrence should be sufficient to
cause doubt and much more so if the person
had ever INDUCED in the soul-killing habit.

There is no maady of deeper Importance,
either in a medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power the bodily suf-
fering. Human nature at best is but fral; all
are liable to misfortune

terrible than those of private nature. Dread

portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease
should attend TO it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant a safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this ncccssi-
ty. 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 vcncreal.

ed themselves by private and improper indul-
gences in that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind uniting them for
either business or society. The following are
some of the sad and melancholy effects produce
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head. dimness
of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of
the heart dyspepsia, nervousness. irritability
