Danger to
Young Men.

The chances of total loss of manly power
are so great in men who find slight indi-
cations of a waste in the system that it is
vltaiIy important that such indications be
checked while such thing is possible, for
if they are permitted to continue, instead
of stopping naturally, they will become
greater from day to day. and will. in few
years, completely disrupt the whole nerv-
Gus and vital organism.
Young men who notice what they con-
slider light symptoms of weakness do not
realize the danger shat turks in their path.
They do not understand the serious conse-
quences, the destruction of nerve tissue,
waste of vital force and power of brain,
loss of flesh, loss of memory and total
i'm potency. These are the consequences
that follow in the trail of slight evidences
of weakness.
