YOUNG MEN,
| Especially, who have become the victims Of
Solitude Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit

This dreadful disease-which renders life mise
rabe and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.
Young persons too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse
quences that may enstie. Now, who that under
stands the subject will pretend to deny that the
power of procreation is lost sooner by those fall
ing into improper habits than by the prudent?
Besides being deprived of the pleasures of
healthy offspring, the most serious and destruc-

of whose life has been spent in the hospitals of
London, Paris Philadelphia and elsewhere, has

These are some of the sad and melancholy eff
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:

Head Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow

Irritability, arrangement of the Digestive Func-

snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of

necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-

life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another

| When the misguided and imprudent votary of

painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de

cation and responsibility, can alone befI1end him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
| pretenders who, incapable of curing fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing month
after month, rs long as the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his calling disappointment or
