Many have varicocele who do not know it.
Like certain other delca tie diseases its charact-
eristics not generally known, and often a
victim of varicocele and its complications does
not know he is afflicted, until he feels the debll-
ltating weakness which 1t causes IN tact many
drains, discharges and loss of vitality, weak,
| aching backs, pains in the chest and limbs, dis
| orders of the stomach, heart, kidneys and blad-
looked upon a secret disease lis not talked
| about) and young ma is not warned OF its
facilitating, destroying effects upon his vital
| ity and manhood. He may continue the un-
natural habit which like a vampire sucks his
| life blood and leads him to destruction. Often
| man does not known tn condition is unnatur-
| al; he may have noticed that the veins of the
| parts are enlarged or clio ngated and the parts
hang slightly lower and may cause dragging
| aching sensation and in advanced cases the or
| gans may become shrunken t1abby and unna-
turally sensitive, but the sufferer does not real
ize the gravity of hisca until too late. Xarico-
cele may be caused by an injury, fall, lift,
strain or heavy work, but most often is caused
| by abuse of the sexual organs, which congest
and dilate the blood We ssels, causing them to
feel like a mass of fish worms The effects of
varicocele are in many ways destructive: cause
unnatural irritation of the parts, with the evil
effects of continual selfabuse, causing continu-
| al drain of vitality, resulting in nervous and
| physical weakness which rob men of virility
and manliness, unf is them for business and
society, dog them to the altar to blight and
blacken the joys of the marital right.
A test of the urine, after standing, showing a
cloud or sediment may indicate varicocele OF
organal weakness. Som etimes losses occur un-
observed to the SUITE rer and a chemical examin-
alton of the urine is necessary to reveal the Wit
| al waste, the most dangerous from of spermat-
orrhea is where the drains occur unobserved
(blind spermatorrhea) }, the losses are insensible
and only appear upon examination of the urine
| by delicate method.
| If you have varicoc ele, weakness or deformity
| of the sexual organs causing decay or decline
of the manly powers, you should be alarmed at
once. Don't try supp orters and electric belts.
They always injure, often leaving the victim
permanently incurable. Do not be misled by
| treatment by correspo ndence, such treatment
cannot cure, no matter what is claimed Do
not use any stimulate ng poisonous drugs or
medicines which help only for short time.
They may leave you inc urable. Do not submit
| to an operation of any kind until you consult
| DR.. Downing. Do not wait until you become
incurable, decide at once. Do not be afraid to
ware of free cures" "quick cures" free pre-
| scriptions, deposit money in the bank" and
| all dishonest schemes 1t sometimes happens
| that victim of vice has exaggerated fear
mites trifiing symptoms into those of greatest
gravity, becomes morbid, respondent and hope
| less all such should consult DR.. Downing He
gives all his honest opinion. Ii he says you are
| durable you safe.
| Dr. Downing cures varicocele to stay cured,
| a life cure in every Sc undertaken. The meth
| cd of treatment is new discovery made by
himself and has never failed in over 10000 cases.
| No other doctor uses this method. 1t cures
| after other treatments fail. No poiSOnS or
| stimulating drugs, no sup ports, pads or clamps,
electric belts or electricity, all are injurious
| DR.. DoWnlngs treatment is new discovery,
/ it restores the function of all the vital organs,
! the vessels reduced to natural condition,
| to normal, manly force, fire. vigor and strength
| restored, and the victim walks forth with the
| capacity to enjoy life's pleasures with manly
spirit and power.
