ver, would imply a purpose of eternal vengeance, involving the
innocent with the guilty."

This disease compared with small-pox is as an ulcer upon a finger to an
ulcer in the vitals. Small-pox does not vitiate the blood of a people; this
disease does. Its existence in a primary form implies moral turpitude.

12. CASES CITED.--Many cases might be cited. We give but one. A man who had
contracted the disease reformed his ways and was apparently cured. He
married, and although living a moral life was compelled to witness in his
little girl's eye-balls, her gums, and her breath the result of his past
sins. No suffering, no expense, no effort would have been too great could
he but be assured that his offspring might be freed from these results.

13. PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.--Here is a case where the old adage, "An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," may be aptly applied. Our
desire would be to herald to all young men in stentorian tones the advice,
"Avoid as a deadly enemy any approaches or probable pitfalls of the
disease. Let prevention be your motto and then you need not look for a
cure."

14. HELP PROFFERED.--Realizing the sad fact that many are afflicted with
this disease we would put forth our utmost powers to help even these, and
hence give on the following pages some of the best methods of cure.

SYMPTOMS.--As the disease first commences to manifest itself, the patient
notices a slight itching at the point of the the {467} male organ, which is
shortly followed by a tingling or smarting sensation, especially on making
water. This is on account of the inflammation, which now gradually extends
backward, until the whole canal is involved. The orifice of the urethra is
now noticed to be swollen and reddened, and on inspection a slight
discharge will be found to be present. And if the penis is pressed between
the finger and thumb, matter or pus exudes. As the inflammatory stage
commences, the formation of pus is increased, which changes from a thin to
a thick yellow color, accompanied by a severe scalding on making water. The
inflammation increases up to the fifth day, often causing such pain, on
urinating, that the patient is tortured severely. When the disease reaches
its height, the erections become somewhat painful, when the discharge may
be streaked with blood.
