luid become thicker and healthier, the organs increase to natural size,
and the distressing nervous symptoms, oftentimes dangerous to life or
reason, cease to trouble the patient.

Exact Size and Shape of a +Civiale Soluble Urethral Crayon+.
(Inserted into canal of organ.)}

These Crayons shown here are small, soft, smooth, perfectly flexible,
and dissolve as soon as they are pushed into the urethral canal, thus
bringing the remedies directly in contact with the ulcerated and eroded
parts, it even running down the ducts into the seminal vesicles
themselves.

The growth, vigor and future prosperity of every nation depend upon the
strength and energy of its young men, and if the places of the robust
and healthy are to be filled by effeminate, weakened, nervous and
physically drained youths, such as the terrible vice of masturbation
is yearly giving us, the results cannot be other than disastrous. The
advice, warning and guidance of parents and guardians must be looked to
for prevention; the method and remedies of +Lallemand+ and +Civiale+ for
a cure.

A GUARANTEED ASSURANCE.

There are some persons who, from having used various forms of medicated
bougies--having had sounds, catheters and bougies roughly passed upon
them by unskillful persons--or merely from an indistinct belief, based
upon hearsay or tradition, feel some hesitancy about passing anything
into the organ for fear that it may do harm, cause pain, or give rise to
stricture.

The majority of these timid people have got this idea from hearing
it said that stricture and inflammation have often been caused by
gonorrhoea (clap) injections, and they therefore have the idea that
anything put into the urethra will do harm. There is not the slightest
doubt but that strong injections of nitrate of silver, zinc, copper,
carbolic acid and the like (of which these injections are usually made)
have, in many instances, caused severe inflammation and, eventually,
stricture.

But that is no reason why proper and absolutely unirritating and bland
medicines, such as those in the +Civiale Crayons+, should do this--and
they don't do it. Make up a strong injection of zinc, copper, &c., and
take a swallow of it. It will burn and pain your mouth and throat, make
you hoarse, and for days afterward you will find it painful to swallow.
Put a troche or lozenge, properly medicated for the purpose, into your
mouth, and, instead of causing pain, irri
