Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.
At one time the discussion of the secret
vice was entirely avoided by the profession.
and medical works of but few years ago
would hardly mention it.
To-day the physician is of a different ODin-

able though it may he-to handle this matter
without gloves, and speak plainly about 1t;
and intelligent parents and guardians will
thank him for doing so.

young while attending school: older pOmDan-

until at last the habit becomes firm and com
pletely enSIaYeS it's victim. Mental and ner-
yOuS affections are usually the primary results
of self abuse. Among the injurious effects
may be mentioned laSSitude, detection, or
iraSCibility Of temper, and general debility.
