I Do not Like to Hear Him Pray.

Which says the lender shall be blest,

For grace to spend Alright the day,
Who knows his neighbor has no flour,
I'd rather see him go to mill
And buy luckless brother bread
And see his children eat their fill
And laugh beneath their humble shed.

Young men troubled with emissions in sleep,-a
complaint generally the result OF bad habit in
youth treated scientifically, and perfect cure war
ranted or no charge made.
Hardly day passes but we consulted by one
or more young man with the above disease some OF
whom are as weak and emaeiated as though they had
the consumption, and by their friends supposed TO
have it. Al such cases yield to the proper and only
correct course of treatment and in short time are
made to rejoice in perfect health.
