TO THE
NERVOUS AND DEBlLITATED,
WHOSE SUFFERING HAVE BEEN PRO-
TRACTED FROM HIDDEN CAUSES,
AND WHOSE CASES REQUIRE
PYD.UF27 Tfs fsE.aTyWE.TT
TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE.

If you are suffering or have suffered
from involuntary discharges, what effect
does it produce upon your general
health ? DO you feel weak, debilitated, ca.
silly tired ? Does a little extra exertion
produce palpation Of the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys,
frequently get out of order ? Is your urine
sometimes thick. milky or focky, Or is it
ropy on settling? Or does thick skum
rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the
bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you
have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated? =? Do you have
spells of lainting, or rushes of blood to the
head? Is your memory impaired? Is
your mind constantly dwelling on the sub
ject DO you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, Of lite ? Do you wish to
be left alone. to get away from everybody?
Does any little thing make you start or
jump? Is your sleep broken or restless !?
Is the Iustre Of your eye as brilliantY The
bloom OF your cheek as bright 2. Do you
enjoy yourself in society as well? Do you
pursue your business with the same ener-
gy ? DO you feel as much confidence in
yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits of melancholy? If so, do
noc lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have
you restless nights? Your back weak. and
have but little appetite, and you attribute
this to dyspepsia or liver-comrlaint?
Now, reader selfabuso, veneral disease
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are ali ca
pabe OF producing weakness Of the gene
ratiye organs. The organs Of the genera
ton, when in perfect health, make the man.
Did you ever think that those bold, def
ant energetic, persovering businessmen
are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect health ? You never hear
such men complain of being melancholy,
Of nervousness, Of palpatation of the heart.
They are never afraid they cannot succeed
in business they don't become sad and dis
couragcd they arc always polite and pleas
ant in company Of ladies, and look you and
them right in the iacc--none of your down
cast looks or any other meanness about
them. do not mean those who keep the
orgrns ioilatcd By running to excess. These
will not onI y ruin their constitutions, but
also those they do business with or for.
How nancy men, from badly cured diseases,
from the effects Of self abuse and cxcesses.
have brought about that state of weakness in
these organs that has reduced the general sys'
tenn so much MS to induce almost every other
discasc-idiocy, paralysis. spinal affections,
suicide, and almost every other form of dis.
ease which humanity is hoir to and the real

WoMAS's DEPENDENCE on MAS.-However
persistent the epicene theorists of modern
times may deny, it is nevertheless truth plain
ly visible in the whole past history of the
sexes, that the natural condition of a woman
Is to find her master in a man. Look in the
face of any woman who is in no direct way
dependent on man, and as certainly as you
see the sun III cloudless sky, you see a wo-
man who is not happy. The want of a mas
ter is, unconsciously to themselves, the only
possible completion of their lives. In ninety
nine cases out of a hundred, this one print
tive instinct is at the bottom of the otherwise
inexplicable sacrifice, when We see a woman
OF her own free will, throw herself away on a
man who is unworthy of her.-U1akie Collins.

BATHHo.-Ablution is absolutely necessary
for the preservation Of beauty and health. In
the East, the harems have in connection with
them baths, that the beauties may continue
to have soft and elastic skins, and by the
tonic effect Of cold water health may be pro-
longed. Pimples, alterations. and many i'm
Projections of light character may be re-
moved by the use of the bath. BY the re-
moval Of fetid matter from the surface of the
skin, discoloration, black specks and rough
ness are often cured Since the introduction
OF public baths and wash houses cutaneous
diseases are less prevalent among the poorer
orders, and they are more healthy. Diseases
which were common amongst this class have
in great measure disappeared since bathing
has become more general.
There are four kinds of water used in cleans
ing The body; rain, spring, river and sea wa
ter. Rain water is the most powerful as a
cleanser. Spring water will circulate the
the blood more rapidly than either of the
others, producing the greatest shock in shower
and sponge bathing. River water will be
found more suitable where quick circulation
Is not desirable. and where rain water would
be found hardly invigorating enough. Sea
water acts incidentally upon the skin, and is
great strengthened TO an enfeebled constitu-
ton.
To battle with advantage il must be done
with discretion, for the kind of bathing that
will suit some will prove miscellaneous to
others; and some kinds of washing is hurtful
to all. Persons with a tendency to heart dis
ease should never use the shower bath; and
those subject to head complaints should make
1t a rule to wet the upper part of their per-
sons first, and but gradually wetting the feet
The vapor bath is seldom beneficial to persons
with pulmonary complaints, and the warm
bath is unsuited to those of a nervous or SAN
guine temperament. Bathing should be treat
ed more scientifically than it has been. 1t
would be well, if previous to resorting to the
bath, people were to consult their medical adj
visers as to the best mode Of bathing. The
notion is too general that all persons will be
benefited by bathing in the open sea.
