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 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 fainting, 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 lie ? 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 lustre Of your eye as brilliant! The
bloom Of your cheek as bright? 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
cing, given to fits Of melancholy? If SO, do
not 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-complaint!
Now, reader, selfabusc, veneral disease
badly cured, and sexual eXcesses, are ali Ca
pable Of producing "a weakness Of the gene
rative organs. The organs Of the genera
ton, when in perfect health, make the man..
Did you ever think that those bold, def
ant, energetic, perseveriDg 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 aud dis
couraged they are always polite and pleas
ant in company Of ladies', and look you and
them right in the facc--none Of your down
cast looks or any other meanness about
them. do not mean those who keep the
orgrns inflated by running to excess. These
will not only ruin their constitutions, but
also those they do business with or Tor.
How nancy men, from badly cured diseases,
from the effects of self abuse and cXcesse5,
have brought about that state OF weakness in
those organs that has reduced the general sys'
TEN so much as to induce almost every other
disease-idocy, paralysis, spinal affections,
suicide, and almost every other form of dis
ease which humanity is heir to and the rea
cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected
and have doctored for all but the right one.

The season and ils Dangers.

The human body is chiefly composed Of
tissues and Gbres as sensitive to every change
in the condition of ihe atmosphere as the most
delicate electromeier, or the quicksilver in a
barometer tube.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the
lungs, and the excretory organs are especially
liable to be affected by these variations, and
the best defence against their disastrous
tendency is to keep the digestive machinery,
which feeds and nourishes the whole system,
in good working order.
If the stomach is weak or disordered Meth.
er the blood nor the bile can be in healthy
state, and upon the fitness Of theAe two i'm
portant fluids for the Offices assigned to them
by nature, and the regularity Of their Aow,
/ health in great measure aspends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapors, as it often is at this season OF the
year, the digestion should be an object OF pe-
| eullar care. If il is weak and languid, the
whole physical structure will be eneryated
IF it is vigorous, the entire organization will
be strong to resist the untowsrd and depres.

phere.
A pure and powerful tonic is therefore es-
peealiy needed as a safeguard against the dis
eases most common in the spring, and Hos

visable at this period Of the year. The
stomach will thereby be toned and strength.
ened, the liver and bowels regulated, the
nervous system braced up, and nature put in
a state of active defence against the miasma
which superinduces intermittent and remit
tent fevers, rheumatisms, nervous debility,
headache, hypochondria and other complaints
which are apt to sssail the untoned and IN
