elationship as marriage, and to lower
and stultify its ends by blighting the happiness of a fair young wife,
exhausting his own vitality in the vain attempt to have offspring, or in
having such as shall be a curse to him through life.

There are those (let it be hoped they are really honest in their
ignorance) who look upon marriage as the only real cure for Seminal
Weaknesses. Even if it were a fact that the marital relations did
accomplish such a result (and they never do, as bear witness the
thousands who are to-day weak, exhausted, ex-sanguinated, unhappy,
nerveless, hopeless wrecks, who are cursing the ignorant pretenders
who gave this false--this fatal advice); even if such a result was a
certainty, what right has any man to besmirch and soil the purity of a
happy and innocent maiden for such a purpose? By what law of humanity
are woman's hopes and happiness to be hazarded on so fragile a basis,
her bark of life to be launched into a pool of such sickening
bestiality? Such marriages bear and are bearing deadly fruit before our
eyes day by day, in infidelity, abandonment, suicide, insanity, crime
and prostitution--in disease and misery, even to the third and fourth
generation.

A SPECIAL SET OF PRE-MARITAL (Before Marriage) REMEDIES.

No more delicate or wonderful piece of mechanism, no more grandly
conceived and wonderfully perfected bit of God's handicraft is to be
found than the Male and Female Sexual Organs. It is a wonder to those
who have made these parts (with their elastic vessels, cavernous
sinuses, network of nervous ganglia and fibrillae, chain of lymphatics,
periodical ovulation, timed pubescence, and perfected, co-ordinate
functions) a study, that they stand abuse and excess so well; that
the fierce blasts of lust and passion that sear and scorch them and
well-nigh dry up their fountain springs of vitality and fecundity, do
not wholly destroy or hopelessly disarrange their delicate tissues and
functions.

The first few years of married life, even to a healthy man, are fraught
with dangers he knows nothing of. How much more then is the sufferer
from a present or even a former Seminal Weakness in danger.

No man, be he ever so healthy, ever so conscious of purity and freedom
from abuse, should enter the marital state without preparing for the
strain naturally to be expected. As the voice, skin, hair, manner and
morals of the youth change at the period of puberty (when the sexual
power is first de
