SPERMATORRHEA

(SEMINAL WEAKNESS),

or emission of semen without copulation, is generally induced by the
early habit of masturbation. It is one of the evidences that passion,
instead of prudence, has held sway. Passion may aptly be termed the
voice of the body, by which, if we listen, we are enchanted and led
astray. Conscience is the voice of the soul, which remonstrates, and if
we obey, we shall be guided aright. We cannot reconcile these
conflicting voices, and if we indulge the passions when conscience
forbids gratification, the remembrance of the wrong remains forever, and
constant fear is an everlasting punishment.

WRECKED MANHOOD. Man possesses few powers which are more highly prized
than those of virility, which is the very essence of manhood. "He is but
the counterfeit of a man, who hath not the life of a man."

THE SEMEN is a milky fluid of the consistency of mucus. It is secreted
by the testicles and is intermixed with the fluids secreted by the
prostate and by Cowper's glands. Its fertilizing property depends on the
presence of minute bodies, termed _spermatozoa_. These consist of little
polliwig-shaped bodies (Fig. 3), having large heads and long filaments
or tails. Under the microscope these little bodies are seen to describe
movements not unlike those of polliwigs.

WHY EMISSIONS OF THE VITAL FLUID DEBILITATE. The seminal fluid consists
of the most vital elements in the human body. It not only assists in
maintaining the life of the individual, but communicates the essential,
transforming principle which generates another mortal having an
imperishable existence. Its waste is a wanton expenditure, which robs
the blood of its richness and exhausts the body of its animating powers.
No wonder that its loss enfeebles the constitution, and results in
impotency, premature decline, St. Vitus's dance, paralysis, epilepsy,
consumption, softening of the brain, and insanity. No wonder that
conscience and fear become tormenting inquisitors, and that the symptoms
are changed into imaginary specters of stealthily approaching disease.

"There is no future pang
Can deal that justice on the self-condemned
He deals on his own soul."

THE PRACTICE OF ONANISM squanders the vitality and bankrupts the
constitution. Indigestion, inn
