Advertisement TextRemedies of a purely vegetable nature were discovered, and their efficiency became so marked that cures are guaranteed in all cases of self-abuse, seminal weakness, nervous debility, mercurial complaints, gonorrhea, stricture, gleet, syphilis...Private diseases are the great destroyers of health. They insiduously attack the system, and undermine and destroy it; they drive the bloom from the cheek, the lustre from the eye, and the strength and vigor from the frame, giving to the world puny and decrepit offspring, and poison through successive generations the race of man. From them arise consumption, scrofula, hereditary insanity, idiocy and paralysis. It is only by perfect and permanent cures that the afflicted can hope to secure his children against the certainty of an inheritance of the poison.
