and distressed, afflicted with virulent and
epidemic diseases. 7rt ,.u
THE Howard Association, in
view of the awful destruction of human
life caused by sexual diseases. and the decep-
tons practiced upon the unfortunate victims
Of such diseases by quacks, several years ago
directed their Consulting Surgeon, as char.
table act worthy of their name to open dis
pensary for the treatment of this class of dis
eases, in all their FORMS and to give medical
advice gratis to all who apply by letter. with
description Of their condition, lage, occupa.
ton, habits of life, &c., and in case of ex-
IRENE poverty, to furnish medicines free of
charge. 1t is needless to add that the Asso-
citation commands the highest medical skill
of the age, and will furnish the most approx.
ed modern treatment. The directors Of the
Association, in their annual report upon the
treatment of sexual diseases, express the high
est satisfaction with the success which has at-
tended the labors of their surgeons in the cure
Of spermatorrhea, seminal weakness, gon.
norrhma, gleet, syphilis the vice of omanism
or self abuse, diseases of the kidneys and
bladder: &C., and order continuance of the
same plan for the ensuing year. The direc-
tors, on areview of the past, fell assured that
their labors in this sphere of benevolent effort
have been of great benefit to the afflicted,
especially to the young, and they have resolv-
ed to devote themselves, with renewed zeal, to
this very important and much despiscd cause.
An admirable Report on spermatorrhea, or
seminal weakness, the vice of onanism, mas.
urbation, or selfabuse, and other diseases of
the sexual organs, by the consulting surgeon,
will be sent by mail lin sealed envelope
free Of postage, on receipt Of two stamps for
postage. Other reports and tracts on the ma
ture and treatment of sexual diseases diet.
&c., are constantly being published for gra-
tuitous distribution, and will be sent to the
afflicted Some Of the new remedies and
methods Of treatment discovered during the
last year, are of great value.
