14. WILL GET WELL.--Feel no more concern about your self. Say to yourself,
"I shall and will get well under this treatment," as you certainly will.
Pluck is half the battle. Mind acts and reads directly on the sexual
organs. Determining to get well gets you well; whilst all fear that you
will become worse makes you worse. All worrying over your case as if it
were hopeless, all moody and despondent feelings, tear the life right out
of these organs whilst hopefulness puts new life into them.

The Curse and Consequence of Secret Diseases.

[Illustration: INNOCENT CHILDHOOD.]

1. THE SINS OF THE FATHERS ARE VISITED ON THE CHILDREN.--If persons who
contract secret diseases were the only sufferers, there would be less pity
and less concern manifested by the public and medical profession.

2. There are many secret diseases which leave an hereditary taint, and

5. The mother often takes the disease from her husband, and she becomes an
innocent sufferer to the dreaded disease. However, some other name
generally is applied to the disease, and with perfect confidence in her
husband she suffers pain all her life, ignorant of the true cause. Her
children have diseases of the eyes, skin, glands and bones, and the doctor
will apply the term scrofula, when the result is nothing more or less than
inherited syphilis. Let every man remember, the vengeance to a vital law
knows only justice, not mercy, and a single moment of illicit pleasure will
bring many curses upon him, and drain out the life of his innocent
children, and bring a double burden of disease and sorrow to his wife.

6. If any man who has been once diseased is det
