diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the

Self.abuse is another formidable enemy to
health, for nothing else in the dread catalogue
Of human diseases causes so destIuctiye a drain
upon tho system, drawing its thousands Of
victims through few years of suffering down
to an un,imely grave. II destroys the Ner.
vous system, rapidly wastes away the energies
of life, causes mental arrangement, prevents
he proper development of the system, dis
qualities for marriage, society, business, and
all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wrecked in body and mind, predsposed to
consumption and tain of evils mole TO be
dreaded than dealh itself. With the fullest
confidence assure the unfortunate victims of
selfabuse that permanent and speedy cure
can be effected, and with the abandonment of
ruinous practices my patients can be restored
TO robust, vigoi Gus health.
The afflicted are cautioned against the use Of
Patent Medicines, for there are so many inge-
