= This dreadful disease-which renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible-is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgeneies
Young persons too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful eonse
quences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands the subject will pretend to deny that the
power OF procreation is lost sooner by those fall

Besides being deprived of the pleasures of
healthy offspring, the most serious and destruc-
tive symptoms TO both body and mind arise. The
system becomes deranged, the physical and men

the heart, indigestion, constitutional debility, n
wasting OF tho frame, coughs, consumption, de-
