TO TUB NERVOUS and DEBILITATED, WHOSE BUFFERING HAVE BEEN PRO TRACTED FROM HIDDEN CAUSES, AND WHOSE CASES REQUIRE VMIOMPT TlM.TJnEjrT TO RENDER EXISTENCE DE81RABLE. If jou arc suffering or have Buffered, from involuntary discharges, what effect duos it produce upon your general hra'th ? Do you feel weak, debilitated, ea sily tired ? Does a little extra exertion produce palpation of the heart ? Docs your liver, or urinary organs, or your kidueys, frequently met out of order 1 Is your urine sometimes thick, milky or (lucky, or is it ropy on settling ? Or does a thick ekuui riso to the top t Or is a sediment at the bottom tiller it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated 1 Do you have spells of faititinft, or rushes of blood to the head ? In your memory impaired t Is your uiind constantly dwelling ou the sub ject f Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of company, of life 1 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 ? is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom of your check as bright? Do you enjoy yourself iu society as well ? Do you pursue your busiucss with the Fame ener gy ? Do you feel as much confidence in yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag ging, given to fits of melencholy ? 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-ooinplaiut ? Now, reader, self-abuse, vcneral disease ! badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all ca pable of producing a weakness of the gene rative organs. The organs of the genera tion, when io perfect health, make the man. Did you ever think that those bold, den- ant, energetic, perssveriug business-men nre always those whose generative organs arc in perfect health ? You never hear uch men complain of being melencholy, of nervousness, of palpataticn ol the heart. They are never afraid they cannot succeed in business ; they don t become sad and dis couraged ; they nre always polite aud pleas ant iu company of ladies, and look you and rhein right iu the face none of your down cast looks or any other nicaiiucss about thciu. T do nm mean those who keep the orgriis inflated by lunoiug to excess. These will not only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do business with or lor. How nianey men, from hndly cured diseases, from iht effects of Felf-abuse and excesses, have In ought, about that slate of weakness in the se organs that has reduced the general svs1 tern so much us to induce almost every other disease idsocy, paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost every other form of dis- ease which humanity is heir to and the real cause of the trouble scwoe3.v.en'(fnt one. it n ! - - DISEASE OF THESE -ORGAKS RIQCIRB THE USE OF A DIURETIC.
