This dreadful disease-which renders life mise

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 destsnc-
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The

of whose life has been spent in the hospitals of

Dr. j: addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
ry habits, which ruin both body and mind. unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage. ~
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head Dimness Of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
1rritability, Derangement of the Digestive Fnnc-
TONS General Debility, symptoms of Consump-

The fearful effects on the mind are much TO be
dreaded: Loss OF Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings Aversion
to Society, Sclf-distrnst, Love of Solitude, Timid

What a pity that young man, the hope of his !
country the pride of his parents, should be :
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
nabit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla- n y
ting y
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most 4
necessary requisites to promote connubial hap- -
ness; indeed without these, the Journey through II
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect :,
hourly darkens TO the view, the mind becomes
'hadowed with despair and filled with the mel y
incholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes bIghted withyour own.
When the misguided and mprrdent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbbed the seeds of this :,
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
Iers him from applying to those, who, from edll-
cation and responsibility, can alone bcfriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
oretenders who, incapable of curing fitch his
lecuniary substance keep him triiing month

obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his calling disappointment, or
