Seminal weakness.

Seminal emissions, the consequence of
self-abuse. This solitary vice, or depraved
sexual indulgence, is practised by the youth
of both sexes to an almost unlimited extent,
producing, with unerring certainty, the fol-
lowing train of morbid symptoms, unless
combatted by scientific medical measures.
viz: Sallow countenance, dark spots under
the eyes, pain in the head. ringing in the
ears, noise like the rustling of leaves and
rattling of chariots, uneasiness about the
lOins. weakness of the limbs. confused vision,
blunted intellect, loss of confidence, diff
dence in approaching strangers, a dislike to
form new acquaintance, disposition to
shun society. loss of memory, hectic fushes,
pimples and various eruptions about the face,
furred tongue. footed breath, coughs, con-
sumption, night sweats. monomania and
frequent insanity. If frelief be not obtained,
the sufferer should apply Immediately, either
in person or by letter, and have cure effect
ed by his new and scientific mode Of treating
this disease, which never fails of effecting a
quick and radical cure. DR.. G. will give
$l00 to any person who will prove satisfac-
torily to him that he was cured of this COM
plant by either of the San Francisco quacks.

Horrible Diseases.

How many thousands of persons, both male
and female, are there who are suffering out a
miserable existence, from the effects Of secret
indulgencies, or from virus absorbed into the
system. Look at their pallid, emaciated and
disfgured faces, and their broken-down con-
stitutions. disqualifying them for the hap
piness of marriage or the enjoyment of life.
In this horrid situation thousands suffer until
death closes the scene. Let parents, guar
dians and friends attend to those who are
suffering with any of these horrible, life-de-
stroying maladies-see that they are cared
for and cured before it be too late. Send
them Immediately to DR.. Gibbon, physician
who has made private diseases his especial
study for years, and who is certain to cure
the most inveterate cases, without mercury
or any injurious drugs. 1t is important to
those who are afflicted, or to those who are
interested in the welfare of their friends, to
be careful of the many pretended doctors
who infest all cities, publishing their skill in
curing all diseases in q few days, imposing
upon the public by using the names of en-
inent physicians from Europe and other
places. Be, therefore, careful, and make
strict inquiry, or you may fall into the hands
of those charlatans.

aRECIAN BEND.

A lady brought Grecian Bend into a
street car with the following result:
She stepped upon the platform
Her grace can't forget
For, oh | that Grecian bend of hers
Clings to my memory yet.
Her smile was like the sunbeamj
Her bonnet "some," you beti
But that lovely Grecian bend of hers
Was the "heaviest" bend met.
Her waterfall was gorgeous,
And all who saw, contend
That her grace was never equaled
By the Saratoga bend.
But, alas! for maiden beauty
Dust will return to dust,
And the most enchanting bender
Is doomed to moth and rust.
In STOPPING to assume her seat,
Il hate to tell but must),
Some whalebone thing that stayed her up
Bent double-and then ''bust! "
