Plain Facts Plainly Spoken,

At one time q discussion Of the secret vice was en-.
tirely avoided by the profession, and medical works
To-day the physician is of o different opinion; he lie
aware that it is his duty-lisagreeable though II
may be--to handle this matter without gloves and
speak plainly about 1t; and intelligent parents and
guardians will thank him for doing 80.
The results attending this destructive vice were or.
merly not understood, or not properly estimated; and
no Importance being attached to q subject which by
its nature does not invite close investigation, it was
willingly ignored.
The habit is generally contracted by the young
while attending school; older companions through
their example, may b responsible for 1t, or 1t may be
acquired through accident. The excitement once OK
perienced, the practice will be repeated again and
again, until at last the habit becomes firm and com
pletely enslaves the victim. Mental and nervous af
nictions are usually the primary results Of self-abuse.
Among the injurious effects may be mentioned lassi
ude, detection or irrasuibility of temper and general
debility. The boy seeks seclusion, and rarely joins
In the sports OF his companions. IL he be q young
man he will be little found in company with the Other
sex, and Is troubled with exceeding and annoying
bashfulness in their presence. Lascivious dreams,
emissions and e%ruptions on tho face, ETC., are also
prominent symptoms.
II the practice 10 violently persisted In, more serious
disturbances take place. Great palpitation Of the
heart, or epileptic convuls,ons, are experienced, and
the sufferer may fall into a complete state ofidiocy be-
fore, finally, death relieves him.
To all those engaged in this dangerous, practice, ]
would say, first of all, stop 1t at once; make every
possible effort to do so; but II you fail, if your nervous
system is already too much shattered, and conse.
quently, your will power broken, take some nerve
tonic to aid you In your effort Having freed yourself
from the habit, l would further counsel you to &c
through q regular course OF treatment, for it ia n great
mistake to suppos" that any one may, for some time,
be every 80 litt'e give himself up to this fascinating
but dangerous Excitement without suffering from its
evil consequences at some future time. The numDeI
Of young men who are incapaciated to Ill the dutie:
enjoned by wedlock is alarningly large, and in most
OF such cases this unfortunate condition of things can
be traced to the practice Of self-abuse which had been
abandoned years ago. Indeed, a few mouths practice
of this habit is sufficient to induce spermatorrh9a
later years, and have many Of such cases under treat
