Spermatorrhoea, or local weakness


nR. L. J. CZAPKAY, Lecturer on the diseas-
of the Military Hospital of Pesth. Hungary,
would call public attention to spermatorrhGa, or
local weakness. There is not in the catalogue of
human maladies one more to be deprecated than
this, as we'll because of present distress the u

influence is either impaired or entirely destroyed,
and class of symptoms supcrinduced that unfit
man for the performance of any of the ordinary
duties of life. The injuries done to the physical
part of the man are truly lamentable, but trfng
when compared to those of the censorium. the
great nervous center, and to the nervous system
generally. This disease, which is too often con-
sequent upon that solitary vice. selfabuse. in
wolves pathological conditions beyond the COM
prehenson of the uninitated, but which are we'll
understood by the regular practitioner Among
the symptoms most conspicuous are the following:
Love of solitude. aversion to business and socie-
ty. distressing timidity, nervous excitement from
slight causes, low spirits and lasstude, dullness
of apprehension, and misanthropy. These being
functional arrangements, are often the harbingers
OF hOrrid organic LESSONS of the brain, which pro-
duces fatuity, dementia and death.
For the cure of this and all kindred diseases
DR.. l.. j. Czapkay has established his Institute
where al may 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 use the

A Canadian Railway to the Pacific.

If we are to have railway connection
through the territory Of the United States,
between the Atlantic and Pacific, we had
better be about the work bofore long, or our
English neighbors will get the start Of us by
the construction of one through English ter
ritory. Although in the extreme northern
route proposed, the distance to be overcome
would be much greater than that by any
line laid down by our surveyors, it is said
that the intervening obstacles are fewer, and
by the proposed employment of convict labor,
the cost would be reduced below that given
in any estimate which could be made for the
shorter lines through our territory. The
Boston Traveller gives the following sketch
of the route through which the survey has
been made:
The measurement across the Canadian ter
ritories is about $500 miles, by line direct
ly drawn from Halifax to the Gulf of Georgia.
The chain of inland seas, reaching from the
mouth of the St. Lawrence to Fort William
on the northwest entrance to Lake Superior,
present means of curtailing the land carriage
of the line of one-third the distance From
other central seas. Lakes Winnepeg and
Manitoba, issues navigabe river still run
mug WESTWARD W Tie eXtetL Vi oOV ullIeS,
and which merges into other waters, all
tending to the Pacific; thus supplying an
auxiliary aid to navigation, parallel to the
proposed line to an extent of more than
three-fourths Of the distance. So the scheme,
after ALL is not so chimerical. The route
may be conducted through its whole extent
unobstructed by the interposition of any ma
terial impediment, of ACTIVITY, water, morass,
or exposure TO suspension Of traffic by the
rude assaults of winter, whose reign through
out the sectional departments proposed, is
less severe than in other portions. The Ad-
miralty maps about to be issued exhibit a
complete survey of this line. With COM
merce from China streaming currently with
this line, it is easy to calculate its immeasura-
ble profit and advantage to England as we'll
as to the Canadas. We should see the har-
bors of the St. Lawrence thronged with
shipping, and energies and resources develop
ed to an almost unimaginabe extent. We
merely aim at directing public attention to a
scheme which, as it will offer such imme-
diate and evident sefbeneit, is not likely to
be long delayed. We need not point to the
increased ascendency the prior establishment
of the Canadian line would afford to England
over the imaginations and the pockets Of the
millions Of Asia. The opposers of Pacific
railroad over the United States will be apt,
we think, to abate their opposition when they
come to understand that this Canadian scheme
is far from being phantom.
