Danger to
Young Men

The chances of total loss of manly power
are so great in men who find slight indi-
yitally important that such indications be
attended to at Gnce. They should 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 ;hat turks in their path.
They do not understan the serious conse-
ouences, the destruction Of nerve tissue.
waste of vital force and power of brain,
loss of flesh, loss of memory and total
impotency. These are he consequences
that follow in the trail of slight evidences
of weakness.
