They are not con fined to the low and degraded portion of humaulty, as many suppose, but are to bo found among the pure of beart, tbe Innocent, tbe truly pious and the wealthy. Many of them are transmitted from parents to ohlldren, from generation to generation. Thousands of people suffer untold agoales from tbelr ravag ing effects, and meet an early and un timely death, often Ignorant of the cause. Though transmitted innocently, tbe effeots of these diseases are not less terrible. It is a tad truth tbat the In nocent are often greater sufferers than the guilty. . ' OI all tbe organs of the body few are more important than tbose engaged In the urinary functions. In perfect health, that great bleistng wblcb so few enjoy one will scarcely direct a moment's thought to tbose Important organs, and at tbe first unpleasant symptom, good advice, xuoh as may I easily be obtained, should be lmmedl atoly solloited. Among tbe chief and most common diseases is seminal weakness and nerv ous debility, or loss of nerve power, duo to masturbation and venial exer clses. Thousands of youog and middle aged men suffer with nervon disease for years and may be Ignorant of tbe cause, wneo a utile timely aavice would make life's pathway full of obeer and happiness. When tbe first symptoms of seminal weakness mnl fust themselves the sufferer Is noticed to become dull' and morose and Is troubled with indigestion, though tbe appetite may remain good. But tbe strength vanishes and tbe patient grows thin. He becomes indolent and debilitated, and loss of memory and all vigor of tbe sexual organs may fol low. In timo be may fall Into a rora Dlete statu of Imitotency total lots of sexual power. Among It lorrlble ef fects, may be mentioned weakness of the memory, confusion of ideas, nervous despondenoy and general weakness It need no mirror; It refleew ttnelf. Tbe nale face, tbe sunken eye, the downcast countenance, the stooping. aged form all serve to announce tho vtotlm's troubles. It seldom kills of itself, but it opens tbe gates to other diseases, such as consumption and dis eases of the heart. Tbe unfortunate sufferer canuot sleep. In tbat Inter mediate state, between life and death, nteuded for tbe recuperation of the mind and body, he can know do rest. for bis dreams are dark and forbodlng, and tbe constant drain upon bis system robs It of It vital Butd. This affliction may be the const quenceof self-abuse or the result of excesses In mature years As ' man is but a bundle ot habits," how essen tial tbat he should start rlgbt in life; that his mind should be full of sub lime thoughts and pure conceptions, All ol you wbo suffer from this disease should lose no time in consulting Dr Darrln, for the lime may oome when you will be beyond the aid ot all modi ool skill. , No matter what you nave taken, or who bas failed to cure you, call and see tbe Doctor, as he can permanently, safely and privately aure you iu one half tbe timo and at one-half the ex pense required by others.
