YOUNG MEN,

Who may be suffering from the effects of
Youthful follies or indiscretion, will do well
to avail themselves of this, the greatest boon
ever laid at the altar of suffering humanity.
DR.. Spinney will guarantee to forfeit five hun
bred dollars for every case of seminal weak
ness or private disease of any kind or charac-
ter, which he undertakes and fails to cure.
He woald, therefore, say to the unfortunate
sufferer who may read this notice, that you are
treading upon dangerous ground when you
longer delay in seeking the proper remedy for
your complaint. You may be in the first
stage-remember you are approaching the
last. If you are bordering on the last, and are
suffering some or all of its i'll effects, remem-
Der that if you obstinately persist IN pro-
crastinaton, the time must come when the
skilful physician can render yOu no assist
ance; when the door of hope will be closed
against you; when no angel of mercy can
bring you relief. In no case has the Doctor
failed of success. Then let no despair work
itself upon your imagination, but avail your
self of the beneficial results of his treatment
before your case is beyond the reach Of med
ical skill, or before grim death hurries you to
q premature grave

who are troubled with too frequent evacua-
tions of the bladder, often accompanied by

patient cannot account for; on examining the
urinary deposits a ropy sediment will often
be found, and sometimes small particles of
albumen will appear, or the color will be Of a
thin or milkish hue again changing to dark
and torpid appearance. There are many men
who die of this difficulty, ignorant of the
cause, which is the second stage of seminal
weakness. DIR. S. will guarantee a perfect
cure in all such cases, and healthy restora-

to believe that South Carolina could
not be wrong. He is now very old

army.

Tale Bearing.

Never repeat n story unless you
are certain it is correct, and not
even then unless something is to be
gained, either Of interest to yourself
or for for the good of the person con-
cerned. Tattliny is q mean and
wicked practice, and he who indulges
in its grows more fond of if in proper
tion as he is successful. If you have
no good to say of your neighbor,
never reproach his character by tell
ing that which il false. He who tells
you the faults of others intends to tell
others of your fau It's and so the dish
of news is handed from one to another
till the tale becomes enormous.-
