/ am aware that by dwelling upon so uninvitin e
a subject the decay of manly vigor tnrou h the
loss of the vital principle of life, the ignoran. may
asperse my motives: but the desire to point out o
those who suffer, languish and decay, the true
of their atiction is too great rcentive to
be forced into allegiance. How extended the .erri-
BILE disease of Seminal Weakness is, no one bu e
practical specialist who devotes his time to its
treatment can tell but its presence be detected
by the most inexperienced by noting the following
symptoms: Weakness of the back and limbs Ian
gushing feelings loss of muscular power
business; irritabity; cold feet or hands, accompa-
MED by hot head; symptoms of consumption );
short breath; fushings of the face; aversion to
society; confusion of the mind loss of memory ::
nightly emissions coloress, slight discharges upon
the least excitement; palptation of the heart !;
irregular appetite variable temper, etc.


YOUNG MAN, if you experience any of the
various symptoms enumerated above, pause to
consider. The present is the golden moment in
which you may secure health and happiness. You
may feel strong now, but if you have ever praciced
the vice of selfabuse even in the SLIGHTEST DEGREE
you have the seeds of weakness in your system
and their undermining influence will, sooner or
later, dash the fair edifce of your strength the
ground, leaving you helpless, abjeet being. 1t
is not disease that declares itself at once Therein
lies its great danger for while the patient is being
treated for some affection OF the Heart, Lungs,
Brain, or Digestive functions, he sinks into a gen
eral debility that adds him to the list of the
victims of the terrible disorder, Seminal weakness


See in the bent form and langushing steps, the
poor victim of the fascinating vice Mark the
course of the destructive complaint in the hollow
cheek and dull eye


Drowsiness is one of the premontory symptoms
AT first it is easily shaken off, but it grows eyentu
ally into great dsincination to pursue his regular
business. The mind becomes apprehensive, and
restless nights succeed days of depression.
Marriage is sought by natural impulse as a
hope of rolief. This is of the first magni-
tude, for the system unprepared for the exgences
of the occasion, suddenly fails, and he finds himself
in deplorabe condition, from which there is but
the slightest hopes of recovery. Or if the marriage
should result in offspring they are puny, distorted
decrepid and degenerate. This is applicable to
| both sexes, whether mar led eingle and to all
| times of life.


Do not delay if you feel any symptoms of the
| terrible complaint, if your acts have been such
as lead to them but by instant application
to yourself the only hope of future health and hap
| piness. The Doctor uses mercury other dele
| terious drugs-cures, when taken in time, always
guaranteed and full and proper vigor restored.


The afflicted are assured of every confidence.
Persons Affected with Venereal.
During the seventeen years since the establish
ment of the Institute, the number of cases of
real that have been treated, show a record unsur-
passed by any hospital in the world, and the sue
cess that has invariably marked the course Of
treatment, without Mercury or other Delete
rious Drugs, shows coDclusively the use of them
to be not only uncalled for, but actually danger
Gus, for it is thoroughly established medical
principle that those poisonous drugs, by entering
the blood, ruin the constitution and destroy life.
! The Doctor effects cure in recent cases, in few
days, and finds difficulty in curing those of long
DURATION without submitting the patient to such
treatment as will draw upon him the slightest sus-
picion, or oblige him to neglect his business, whe-
ther indoors without. The diet need not be
| changed. Cures always guaranteed or pay
| required.


ImpOI tant to Females.
When female is in trouble or afflicted with dis
ease, and requires medical or surgical assistance,
the enquiry should be, Where is there physician
who is fully competent to administer relief and
AID whose respectable ct-a-i.g il society recon-
mends him to the con1Cclcc u t-e community ?
The Doctor, understanding how imperatively neces-
sary these requirements are, feels called upon to
interpose, and by calling the attention of the aict
ed to the fact that ne has been a PROFESSOR OF
OBSTETRICS AND FEMALE DISEASES for
twenty years. and is fully qualified to administer

superficial manner, but in as thorough manner as
