Smoking Tobacco is an excellent article ef
granulated Virginia.
Wherever introduced it is universally ad
mired. It is put up in handsome muslin bags, in
which orders for Meerschaum Pipes are daily
packed.
LORILLAAD'S "YACHT CLUB"
Smoking Tobacco has no superior ; being deni
cotinized, it cannot injure nevcless constitu
tions, or people of sedentary habits.
It is produced from selections of the finest
stock, ana prepared, by a patented and original
manner.
It is very .aromatic, mild, and lightweight
hence it will last much longer than others ;
nor does it burn or sting the tongue, or leave a
disagreeable after-taste
Orders for genuine, elegantly carved
Meerschaum Pipes, silver mounted, and pack
ed in neat leather pocket cases, are pla idn
the Qacht Club brand daily.

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-
