Youth-secret and solitary practices more tstaI
to their victims than the song of Syrens to the
Mariners Of Ulysses, bighting their most bril-
liant hopes anticipations, rendering mar
riage, &C., impossible .-.
YOUNG MEN,
Especially, who have become the victims OF
solitary Vice, that dreadful and destructive
habit which annually sweeps to an ultlmely
grave thousands of Young Men OF the most
excellent talents and brilliant intellect, who
might otherwise have entranced listening Sena
tors with the thunders Of eloquence, or walked
to estacy the living lyre may call with tuii
confidence.
Married Persons, or Young Men comtemplh,
ting marriage, being aware of Physical Weak
ness, Organic Debility, Deformites speedlly
cured.
He who places himself under the care OF DR..
J. may religiously conade in his honor as
gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill
as physician.
ORGANIC WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored.
This distressing affection, which renders llto
miserable and marriage impossible, is the
penalty paid by the victims of lmpropriety:-
Young persons are too apt to commit ei-
| cesses from not being aware OF Inc oreadlu!
consequences that may ensue. Now, VINO lna2
understands the subject will pretend TO deny
that the power of procrcatlon IS lost sooner py
those falling into improper habits than by the
prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleas
ure of healthy offspring, the most serious and
destructive symptoms of both body and mlnd
arise. The System becomes deranged, the
Physical and Mental Functions Weakened,
Loss Of Procreative Power, Nervous lrrltablll-
ty, Dyspepsia, Palpitation Of the Heart indI~
sestion, constitutional Debility, and Wasting
Of the Frame, Consumption, Decay and Death.
