We are sorry to note in some of our patrons a feeling of shame in taking
this treatment. Such feeling we cannot but regard as absurd, and the
outgrowth of false ideas. If their present condition has been brought
on by evil habits, it is well enough to be ashamed of that fact, but it
is certainly altogether creditable to make use of the first opportunity
to restore or attain a perfectly natural condition and check such
disastrous losses, and in many cases it is absolutely necessary for the
welfare and happiness of themselves and others. A well-known medical
writer says:
"This treatment does not interfere with any regular habits or
employment, and may be followed without the knowledge or suspicion of
any person whatever. It is beneficial to the general health and quite
pleasant in its effects, giving the person a rejuvenated, buoyant
feeling, infusing new life and manhood; seemingly dashing young strong
blood through all the sluggish veins and arteries of the form."
To those who really need this treatment its importance cannot be
overestimated. Each sufferer can answer to himself how very different
life would be if free from his infirmity. Would you not be better
capacitated for business, labor or pleasure? Is not your mind on
the rack often--perhaps always? Have you not at this time, and in
consequence of this deficiency, a tendency to misanthrophy, a bitter
feeling that you are the victim of an unkind Providence, or else bowed
by humiliation due to your own ignorance or vices? Does not your very
incapacity keep your mind filled with lewd thoughts, which in a state of
perfect manhood would not exist?
From the confession of hundreds we know how each of you will answer most
or all of these questions.
Is not the means, then, which will raise you above these deplorable
conditions, a blessing inestimable? Is it not an agent of moral as well
as physical regeneration? When this means of deliverance is offered,
will you hesitate in availing yourself of its benefits and making it
known to others who are sufferers like yourself? Let an honest heart
and candid judgment answer for you.
