' iT -err TO Tim NERVOUS and DEBILITATED, WHOSE SUFFERING HAVE BEEN PRO TRACTED FROM HIDDEN CAUSES, AND WHOSE CASES REQUIRE VIlOJtirT Til Ett TJflEJfT TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE. If you are suffering or have suffered, from involuntary discharges, what effect does it produce upon your general health ? Do you feel weak, debilitated, ea sily tired ? Does a little extra exertion produce palpation of tho heart? Docs your liv.er, or urinary organs, or your kidneys, frctpuently get out of order ? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky or flocky, or is it ropy on settling ? Or docs ti thick skum rise to the top 'i Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood awhile ? , Do you have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting, or rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory impaired ? Is your mind constantly dwelling on the sub ject ? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of company, ot liio f Do you wish to bo left alone, to get away from everybody? Does any little thing make you start. or jump ? Is your sleep broken or restless ? Js the lustre of your eye as brilliant f I he bloom of your cheek as bright ? Do you enjny yourself in society as well ? Do you pursue your business with tho Eamo ener gy ? Do you feel as much confidence iu yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag ging, given to fits of nielencholy : If so, do not lay it to your liver or dispepsia. Have you restless nights? Your back weak. aud have but little appetite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver-complaint? Now, reader, self-abuse, veneral dieease badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all ca pable of producing a weakness of the gene rative organs. 1 he organs of the genera tion, when in perfect health, make the man. Did you ever tinuli that those bold, den- ant, energetic, persevering business-men are always those whose generative organs are in perfect health ? You never hear such men complain of being nielencholy, of nervousness, of palpataticn ol the heart. They are never afraid they cannot succeed in business ; they dou t become sad and dis couraged ; they are always polite and pleas ant in company of ladies, and look you and them right in the face none of your down cast looks or any other meanness about them. I do not mean those who keep the orcrns inflated bv running to excess. These will not only ruin their constitutions, but ilso those they do. business with or for. How mancy men. from badly cured diseases. from the effects of self-abuse end excesses, have brought about that slate of weaUncs iu these organs that has reduced the general sys tern so much as to induce almost every other disease idiocy, paralysis, spinal allcctioni, suicide, and almost every other form of dis. ease which humanity is heir to and the real ana have'aoeouveunej'aarcel.y ever suspected, DISEASE OF THESE ' ORGANS REQUIRB THE USE OF A DIUEETIC.
