Aro apprlsod that Dr K1NKELIN 'confines his

TWENTY YEA 118 OP EXPERIENCE
In the treatmont of a class of diseases hitherto
neglocted and imperfcctlv understood, has ona
blcd'Dr KINK E LIN*, (author qf a ieork on Self
Preservation,J to prove that nine tenths of tho
causes ol norvous debility, local and'constitution
al weakness, mental and physical suffering, nre
traceable to certain habits, forming tlie most fle
ered und yet deadly and fatal sprihgs of domestic
miaory and premature mortality.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
There is an evil habit sometimes indulged in
by boys, in solitude,"often growing up with them
to manhood, and which, if riot reformed in duo i
time, not only begets serious obstacles to inatri-1
monial happiness, blit 'give's rise to a series or
protracted, insidious and devastating alfections. i
Few of those who give way to this pernicious
practice are awaro of tho consequences, until
they find tho nervous system shattered, feel
strange and unaccountable feelings, und vaguo.
Bourn in the mind.
Tho unfortunate thus affected becomes feeble,
is unablo to labor with accustomed vigor, or to
apply his mind to study ? his step it tardy and !
weak, he is dull, irresolute, and engages in his
sport witli less energy than usual.
If ho emancipate himself before the practice
has done its worst, and enter matrimony, his mar
riage is unfruitful and his senso tells him that it
is caused by his onrly lollies. These are consider-1
ations vihich should awaken tho attention qf those
similarly situated.
MARRIAGE . |
Requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in i
ordor that it may be really the cause of mutual J
happiness. Could the veil which covers the origin I
of domestic wretehednoss bu raised, and iu true |
source in every instanco disclosed in how many j
could it be traced to physical disqualifications und
their attendant disappointments! Apply then
while it is yet time, in order to have your unstrung
and relaxed organization rebraced, revivified and
trengtheucd.
REMEMBER
Ho who places himself under Dr Kinkelin's treat
ment may religiously confide in his honor us a
gentleman, and rely "upon his assurance that the
socrots of Dr K.'s patients will never be disclosod.
Young man! let no false modesty deter you
from making your caso known to one who, from
education and respectability, can certainly be
friend you.
Ton many think they will conceal tho secret in
their own heart*, and euro themsel ves. Alas! how
often it tliii a fatal delusion, and how many a pro
mising young man, who might have been au orna
ment to socicty, has faded from tho narth.
Strictures of Ihe urethra arc rapidly removed
by tho application of a now therapeutical agent,
used only by Dr K. Weakness and constitutional
dibility promptly cured, and full vigor restored.
