Avoid all coffee, tea, wine, beer and all alcoholic liquors. Don't use
tobacco, and keep the bowels free.

PRESCRIPTION.--Ask your druggist to put you up a good Iron Tonic and take
it regularly according to his directions.

BEWARE OF ADVERTISING QUACKS.

Beware of these advertising schemes that advertise a speedy cure for "Loss
of Youth," "Lost Vitality," "A Cure for Impotency," "Renewing of Old Age,"
etc. Do not allow these circulating pamphlets and circulars to concern you
the least. If you have a few _Nocturnal Emissions_, remember it is only a
mark of vitality and health, and not a sign of a deathly disease, as many
of these advertising quacks would lead you to believe.

Use your private organs only for what your Creator intended they should be
used, and there will be no occasion for you to be frightened by the
deception of quacks.

Lost Manhood Restored.

1. RESOLUTE DESISTENCE.--The first step towards the restoration of lost
manhood is a resolute desistence from these terrible sins. Each time the
temptation is overcome, the power to resist becomes stronger, and the
fierce fire declines. Each time the sin is committed, its hateful power
strengthens, and the fire of lust is increased. Remember, that you cannot
commit these sins, and maintain health and strength.

2. AVOID BEING ALONE.--Avoid being alone when the temptation comes upon you
to commit self-abuse. Change your thoughts at once; "keep the heart
diligently, for out of it are the issues of life."

3. AVOID EVIL COMPANIONS.--Avoid evil companions, lewd conversation, bad
pictures, corrupt and vicious novels, books, and papers. Abstain from all
intoxicating drinks. These inflame the blood, excite the passions, and
stimulate sensuality; weakening the power of the brain, they always impair
the power of self-restraint. Smoking is very undesirable. Keep away from
the moral pesthouses. Remember that these houses are the great resort of
fallen and depraved men and women. The music, singing, and dancing are
simply a blind to cover the intemperance and lust, which hold high carnival
in these guilded hells. This, be it remembered, is equally true of the
great majority of the theatres.

4. AVOID STRONG TEA, OR COFFEE
