How many in consequence of false deicacy suff-
alton, and think because they are young that bye

structions, and all come right in the end, like
dreaming that the seeds Of death are already ger

impaired, and the entire animal economy de-

selves they are, if remedy set before
them which would restore all the functions Of the
