We Cure where a Cure is Possible.
In brief it may be stated thatMasturbationin early life, and sexual excesses at a later period, may, and do producecongestion,inflammation,spasm,ulceration,granulations,ulcers, and bothspasmodic and organic stricturesof the urethra; thatSpermatorrhœaandImpotenceare due to this condition, and that the only really rational treatment is that which directly medicates and heals these parts. This,Civiale’s Soluble Urethral Crayonsdo, better and quicker than anything else. Prof.Gross,24for instance, says: “Exclusive of these cases, my notes show that 13 out of every 100 cases of stricture are due to Onanism;” andOtis25says: “9 per cent. of all cases are traceable to that practice.”Reeves, Henry Smith, Goulet, PhysicandLeroygive masturbation as a cause of stricture.Blackstates a like case leading to sexual incapacity, as a result of the stricture.Wadesays: “In several instances of the kind,where there had been no sexual intercourse, the strictures, which were at the bulb, proved more than usually refractory from the extreme morbid sensitiveness of the whole urethral canal.”
Gross goes on to say, that in at least eight out of every ten cases ofSpermatorrhœaorImpotence, stricture of the urethra is the cause of the trouble, whether the stricture is due to gonorrhœa, gleet, etc., or tomasturbation or excesses.

How senseless, then, to endeavor to cure such conditions with stomach medicines. Still, theCivialemethod does not wholly discard them. They have their place and their purpose, and served it well. It was his practice in many cases to useNervinesandTonics, as well asDigestivesandLaxatives, by the stomach, and with excellent results, for in many of these cases thedigestion was poor, theliver torpid, thebowels sluggishandconstipated, andfilled with wind, theappetite capriciousanduneven.Crayonsin the urethra could not wholly cure these symptoms, although they stopped the drain that originally caused them. Combined with theTonic-Regulator, the results were prompt and satisfactory.
Many patients began to recuperate the moment the inflammation, stricture, ulceration and accompanying losses of vital fluid were stopped, and were soon in robust health again. In others, however, he found it best,at the same time that he was healing the diseasedurethra, toclear and invigorate the debilitated nerves and weary minds, to tone up the stomach and bowels, set the liver gently working, start the kidneys(nearly always congested),and infuse new life, strength and vigorous impulses into the whole system by means of his Tonic-Regulator, which is a pleasant and most efficacious combination oftonics,laxatives(not purgatives), anddeobstruents.Skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, mind, nerves, stomach, liver and bowels, were all set to working right. And, as a consequence, aided by the urethral remedies, thelosses ceased, erectile power andsexual vigor returned, the step became buoyant and elastic, the mind clear, the memory retentive, the eyes clear and bright, the lips and cheeks ruddy with healthful color; the whole system, indeed, renovated, refreshed and re-invigorated.
We hold out no False Hopes.
What more perfect or pleasing picture than that of happy married life. Yet how little of it we see! How the newspapers dish up to us in strong words the misery, despair, wretchedness, infidelity and deceit of the divorce court. How it stares at us from the desolate fireside of friend and acquaintance; is hinted at or suppressed by the records of the Coroner’s office; leers at us from the sumptuous mansion of the affluent; lurks in the humble cottage of the mechanic. How sad the contrast between the home where nestle happiness, love, contentment, offspring; and the abode of suspicion, deceit, infidelity or barrenness.
And yet men and women are being married every day, every hour—ay, every minute. Men and women incompatible physically, mentally, morally—urged on by lust, cupidity, love; to escape unhappy homes; to hide sad sins—for a thousand reasons, some good, many bad—are constantly marrying.
A man selects a wife less carefully than he would a horse; a woman yields herself, her life, her happiness, blindly, unreasoningly, to a man of whom she knows nothing. A man better fitted for the hospital, the infirmary, or the insane asylum, enters the bonds of wedlock with never a thought of the consequences; with never a care as to whether he will wreck his own life and happiness or that of the innocent girl he is deceiving; with never a heed of the ill-starred, diseased, puny or idiotic progeny his act may bring into being, a burden to the community, a curse to himself and a constant reminder of the parent’s foolhardiness—ay, even crime!
No man who is affected with any form of Sexual or Venereal Disease should for a single instant even think ofmarriageuntil everytraceof hisweaknessordiseasehas disappeared. In these days of medical advance in this special field, there is no excuse for such action. There are few—very few—cases of Seminal Weakness and Impotency that cannot now be cured. Of course, here as elsewhere, there are traps and humbugs, quacks and charlatans, false theories and empty moralizing; but there is also truth and knowledge, hope and certainty for such as are sufficiently in earnest to search for them. Prof. Civiale, by his indomitable perseverance, thorough study and experiment, and final conclusions and discoveries, has placed the means of a perfect restoration to full mental, bodily and sexual vigor within the reach of all, and no man has any right now to enter either blindly or wilfully into so sacred and important a relationship as marriage, and to lower and stultify its ends by blighting the happiness of a fair young wife, exhausting his own vitality in the vain attempt to have offspring, or in having such as shall be a curse to him through life.
There are those (let it be hoped they are really honest in their ignorance) who look upon marriage as the only real cure for Seminal Weaknesses. Even if it were a fact that the marital relations did accomplish such a result (and they never do, as bear witness the thousands who are to-day weak, exhausted, ex-sanguinated, unhappy, nerveless, hopeless wrecks, who are cursing the ignorant pretenders who gave this false—this fatal advice); even if such aOur Treatment is Pleasant, Quick and Lasting.result was a certainty, what right has any man to besmirch and soil the purity of a happy and innocent maiden for such a purpose? By what law of humanity are woman’s hopes and happiness to be hazarded on so fragile a basis, her bark of life to be launched into a pool of such sickening bestiality? Such marriages bear and are bearing deadly fruit before our eyes day by day, in infidelity, abandonment, suicide, insanity, crime and prostitution—in disease and misery, even to the third and fourth generation.
No more delicate or wonderful piece of mechanism, no more grandly conceived and wonderfully perfected bit of God’s handicraft is to be found than the Male and Female Sexual Organs. It is a wonder to those who have made these parts (with their elastic vessels, cavernous sinuses, network of nervous ganglia and fibrillæ, chain of lymphatics, periodical ovulation, timed pubescence, and perfected, co-ordinate functions) a study, that they stand abuse and excess so well; that the fierce blasts of lust and passion that sear and scorch them and well-nigh dry up their fountain springs of vitality and fecundity, do not wholly destroy or hopelessly disarrange their delicate tissues and functions.
The first few years of married life, even to a healthy man, are fraught with dangers he knows nothing of. How much more then is the sufferer from a present or even a former Seminal Weakness in danger.
No man, be he ever so healthy, ever so conscious of purity and freedom from abuse, should enter the marital state without preparing for the strain naturally to be expected. As the voice, skin, hair, manner and morals of the youth change at the period of puberty (when the sexual power is first developed—when he first becomes a man), so does the system, mental and moral, change when he enters the bonds of matrimony. If at puberty new diseases are prone to show themselves and old ones to be outgrown, so at marriage a like change must be at least expected, and he who blindly or thoughtlessly hazards a leap in the dark is foolish, or rather foolhardy.
Especially for the use of young men who have endangered or injured their sexual power by abuse in early years, and for older men who have exhausted themselves by later excesses.Prof. Civialewas wont (very wisely, we know from actual experience) to prescribe, for a few months before marriage, aSpecial Tonic and Strengthening Marital Course of Remedies, having three distinct ends in view, viz.:
(a) The strengthening, toning up and fortifying of the general system, nerves and brain, against the unusual call soon to be made upon them;
(b) The strengthening, toning up and fortifying of the Sexual Nerves, Ducts, Ganglia, Vesicles and Testes, against the strain soon to be applied to them, and by this and the preceding means putting the individual in the veryWhen you are Tired of being Humbugged or Experimented on, send to us.best and most favorable condition for the production of strong, healthy, robust and creditable offspring; and
(c) The steady and perfect eradication from the system, by every pore and viaduct, of all poisonous, contagious, venereal or other material that might in any way endanger the perfectly normal (healthy and strong) condition of parent or offspring above spoken of. Through early abuse, excesses, exposure, neglect, carelessness, imperfect sanitary conditions, wrong methods of living, immoral practices, etc., the blood and liver are liable, even though the skin be clear and the cheeks rosy, to harbor some poisonous humors that might be transmitted to the wife or offspring—poor innocents, too often made to suffer pitiably for the vices or thoughtlessness of the father.
Every man about to marry owes this cleansing, purification and strengthening of the system general and the system sexual, to his wife, his fellow men and to himself.
For the Radical and Lasting Cure of all Diseases of the Sexual and Urinary Organs. Its Mode of Operation, Application and Advantages.
The Civialè Treatment, by means of quickly meltingmedicatedCrayons that areeasilyandpainlesslyinserted into the urethra (or urine channel), and thus melt and run down over the irritated, inflamed or strictured parts, the congested Prostate Gland, and into the orifices of the Seminal Ducts, is the most successful treatment ever brought forward for these diseases, and it has met with just appreciation, for it has performed radical cures in some of the most serious and distressing cases. Some of the advantages may be briefly summed up as follows:
1. It combines local and direct medication of the diseased parts of the urethra, seminal ducts and vesicles, as well as of the Generative Nerves, by means of Urethral Crayons, with judicious invigoration of the general Digestive, Nervous, Mental and Circulatory Systems, by means of Stomach Remedies, thus attacking the complaint from all sides.
2. The Civiale Urethral Crayons are easily introduced, melt rapidly, medicate the entire canal, never give the slightest pain, never stain the clothing, are rapid, pleasant and cleanly in their action, could be used by a child without danger of injury, are perfectly soft and flexible, and give uniform satisfaction.
3. They need be used but once, or, at the most, twice daily.
We Offer Special Help to Impotent Men.
4. The good results of the treatment are apparent within the first five or ten days.
5. Their price is so reasonable as to place them within the reach of all.
6. They may be used to cure gleet, stricture and prostatitis, when complicating Spermatorrhœa or Impotence.
7. They never decompose or lose their strength.
8. They are absolutely free from minerals, mercurials, caustics or irritants.
9. They will do precisely what and all that is claimed for them.
Civiale’sknowledge of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the Genito-Urinary (Sexual and Urinary) organs, especially fitted him to study and investigate this subject. It did not take him long to perceive thatLallemand’sidea that the deep urethra, where the seminal ducts open into it, was the real seat of the disease in bothSpermatorrhœaandImpotence, was the true and correct one, and therefore, that any plan of treatment, to be successful, must look to allaying and healing the inflammation, congestion or ulceration of the urethra at the neck of the bladder, and stopping the losses.
He reasoned that when the inflammation, irritation and spasm of these parts, and of the seminal ducts, was relieved, the drain of the vital fluid would cease, the dilated mouths of the ducts contract, the vital fluid become thicker and healthier, the organs increase to natural size, and the distressing nervous symptoms, oftentimes dangerous to life or reason, cease to trouble the patient.
figure as described in captionFig. 7.Exact Size and Shape of aCiviale Soluble Urethral Crayon.(Inserted into canal of organ.)
These Crayons shown here are small, soft, smooth, perfectly flexible, and dissolve as soon as they are pushed into the urethral canal, thus bringing the remedies directly in contact with the ulcerated and eroded parts, it even running down the ducts into the seminal vesicles themselves.
The growth, vigor and future prosperity of every nation depend upon the strength and energy of its young men, and if the places of the robust and healthy are to be filled by effeminate, weakened, nervous and physically drained youths, such as the terrible vice of masturbation is yearly giving us, the results cannot be other than disastrous. The advice, warning and guidance of parents and guardians must be looked to for prevention; the method and remedies ofLallemandandCivialefor a cure.
There are some persons who, from having used various forms of medicated bougies—having had sounds, catheters and bougies roughly passed upon them by unskillful persons—or merely from an indistinct belief, based upon hearsay or tradition, feel some hesitancy about passing anything into the organ for fear that it may do harm, cause pain, or give rise to stricture.
Strictest Privacy— Perfect Confidence— Certain Cure.
The majority of these timid people have got this idea from hearing it said that stricture and inflammation have often been caused by gonorrhœa (clap) injections, and they therefore have the idea that anything put into the urethra will do harm. There is not the slightest doubt but that strong injections of nitrate of silver, zinc, copper, carbolic acid and the like (of which these injections are usually made) have, in many instances, caused severe inflammation and, eventually, stricture.
But that is no reason why proper and absolutely unirritating and bland medicines, such as those in theCiviale Crayons, should do this—and they don’t do it. Make up a strong injection of zinc, copper, &c., and take a swallow of it. It will burn and pain your mouth and throat, make you hoarse, and for days afterward you will find it painful to swallow. Put a troche or lozenge, properly medicated for the purpose, into your mouth, and, instead of causing pain, irritation and difficulty in swallowing, it will relieve these symptoms if they exist, cool and calm the membrane, soothe the irritation, and give tone and strength to the vocal chords.
So it is with theCiviale Soluble Crayons.
(1.) They are wholly unlike any caustic, metallic or irritating injection.
(2.) They do not contain a grain of any mineral, caustic or irritant of any kind.
(3.) Their ingredients are purely vegetable.
(4.) They soothe, calm and allay irritation, and give strength and tone to the mucous membrane, Seminal Ducts, Generative Nerves and Prostate Gland.
(5.) They do not cause stricture, but they cure it if it exists.
(6.) Allow one to dissolve in the mouth, eye, ear, nose, or, in fact anywhere. and they will be found to possess only soothing and healing properties.
(7.) They can be inserted into the penis without the slightest trouble, and, melting rapidly and easily, flow down in a bland, soothing, healing and strength and life-giving stream, over the diseased parts.
These Crayons have been in constant use in Paris for the past 25 years, and have never yet, and never will, cause the slightest pain or irritation. Patients may rest assured, therefore, that in using these standard French Remedies they are absolutely protected, and need not feel the slightest degree of fear. Indeed, so well established is this fact that we are willing to pay $1,000 (one thousand dollars) to any person or persons who can cite a single instance when the Civiale Crayons have ever done the slightest harm.
The disease is in the Urethra or Urine Channel, whether it be Spermatorrhœ, Impotence, Prostatitis or gleet, and in order to effect a lasting cure, the remedies must be applied directly to the diseased membrane. In nine cases out of ten, Spasmodic Stricture already exists and must be cured before the person can get well, and the only way to cure it is to apply the medicines directly to it.
It would be as silly for a man with an ulcer on his leg, or a crushed finger, to expect to cure it by taking drugs by the stomach and not applying proper lotions and salves directly to it, as to try to cure seminal disease or weaknessAll our Doctors are Regular Graduates, and their Diplomas are Registered in the Office of the County Clerk, City Hall, New York, as required by Law.without going right to the spot, as can be done by the use of the elegant and harmless Crayons of Civiale.
It was by establishing the fact of local disease and a local remedy clearly and distinctly, upon both physiological and pathological grounds and data, thatLallemandandCivialegained such world-wide reputation. And it was the discovery of not only the proper remedies, but an elegant and perfect means of applying them directly to the very seat and root of the disease, that has made the Civiale Method so justly famous, and has crowned its use with such undoubted success in this country, even in cases where every other plan and agent had failed.
We feel no hesitation whatever in guaranteeing a perfect and permanent cure of Spermatorrhœa, Impotence, Debility, &c., &c., in any case wherein our Medical Director decides that a cure is possible by any means, if the patient will use reasonable care and diligence in pursuing the treatment, and this is not hard or tiresome; on the contrary, it is easy, simple and direct.
We say “in any case wherein our Medical Director decides that a cure is possible by any means,” and we say it with a purpose, for it is our aim and desire, at all times, to be perfectly frank and honest with those who consult us. There are cases that no remedy, be it ever so good, can cure, and when such a one occurs in our practice, we endeavor to show the patient his exact condition, and not (as is so often done) try to persuade him to purchase remedies that we know will do him no good, or, at least, be but an experiment. So, in consulting our Physicians, you may be sure of at least an honest opinion, in exact conformity with the facts in your case.
The Different Forms of Remedies for Different Forms of Sexual and Urinary Diseases.
These Crayons are put up in packages, each of which will last one month. A single package is ordinarily sufficient for mild cases of either Spermatorrhœa or Impotence. From two to three packages are required for chronic, severe or obstinate cases, or where the person is much debilitated or advanced in years. There are five kinds:
Our Crayons are Inserted without Pain.
The following are the main symptoms of each class, with the kind of course they usually call for. If the patient has the symptoms of both classes he is evidently in an advanced stage, and needs both courses.
The reader is warned against confounding theCiviale Urethral Crayonswith the American Medicated Bougies, Injections, Pastilles, and the like. The disease is really seated in the Urethra (urine canal), and can be easily and painlessly medicated, and certainly cured, by means of theCiviale Crayons.

We Cure where a Cure is Possible.
Special Note.—It is a rare thing for any one patient to have all these symptoms, and some may have some not here mentioned, but it is important to know just which they do have. Persons desiring treatment will, therefore, please tear out the proper page, and having crossed out such symptoms as they do not have, return it to us for the consideration of our physician. To save delay, it is best in ordinarily severe cases to send the price of one course, and leave the selection to our physician’s discretion. When less is needed than what is paid for, the balance due the patient will be returned to him with the necessary medicine.
SYMPTOMS.—(Impotence may arise without any previous symptoms of Spermatorrhœa, and solely as the result of abuse, overwork, confinement, blows, falls, fever, etc., but it is often the direct result of Spermatorrhœa, forming the third stage of that disorder). Loss of Sexual Desire or Power, Imperfect or Rapidly Failing Erections, Too Early Emissions During Connection (denoting irritability), Delayed Emissions (denoting blunting of sensation), Failure to Consummate Marital Duties, Oozing of vital fluid, Unnatural Desire, but not sufficient power, Nervous Exhaustion, etc., Wasting of the Organs, etc., etc., etc.
1 Box, for simple or recent cases, $6. Full Course of 3 Boxes, for severe or chronic cases, men past middle age, feeble subjects, etc., etc., $15.
SYMPTOMS.—Frequent urination, Rising at night to urinate, Pain or Scalding in passing water, Dribbling of Urine after completing the act, Pain and aching in the perineum, Mucous oozing from Prostatitis, Gravel, brick-dust deposit, and other sediments, Stone in the bladder, Diabetes, Irritation and Enlargement of the Prostate Gland, Congestion and Inflammation of the Kidneys, Bloody Urination, etc., etc.(Many casesof Seminal Disease are due to or made worse by urinary trouble, especially Prostatic Disease, existing at the same time. Hence, when such is the case, it is important to treat the urinary as well as the seminal disease in order to be certain to permanently and thoroughly cure both.

The formula used in preparing these Urethral Crayons is one of the finest the greatCivialeconceived. Repeated trials and modifications finally ended in an almost perfect remedy. Gleet or obstinate milky discharge or oozing of from two to twelve years’ standing yielded painlessly and permanently to their use. Stricture, too, even when organic, if not so far advanced as to interfere seriously with urination, yielded kindly to this treatment, being gradually dissolved and absorbed until, at last, the canal was left free and clear, and all the symptoms of urinary irritation had disappeared. Testimony from Dr. Lorey, Interne at theHopital du Midi, will give some idea of the popularity of this form of treatment in Paris. With them he cured eighty consecutive cases of Chronic Gleet.

This is the course we have already adverted to under the head of marriage, and we believe that enough was there said to make plain both its object and application. This, unlike the preceding courses, is, so to speak, a mixed one, consisting of a combination of (1) Tonics and Sexual Nervines to be taken by the mouth; (2) A Specially Prepared Course of Crayons (tonic, anti-spasmodic and detergent), to be used in the urethra, and (3) a lotion or application which, by being gently applied to the parts once a day with a sponge,Our Treatment is Pleasant, Quick and Lasting.soft cloth or the hand, adds greatly to the strength and erectile power, as well as the tone, development and vigor of the testicles.
These are put up under the strict personal supervision of our head chemist, Mr. Du Bell, and are exactly in accordance with theformlæand instructions of the late Prof. Civiale.
Price per Set, $25.
This Course may be used alone or in connection with any of the other Courses. No man (or woman either) could be injured by it, and many weak and impotent sufferers will find in its use health, strength and bodily and mental vigor.
In some instances the Tonic Regulator and Lotion part of this Course are advisable without the Crayons, and hence we quote their price separately.
Tonic Regulator, $10.Lotio Fortior, $5.
Civialé’s Tonic-Regulator is all that its name indicates and much more besides. It is composed of Tonics, Nervines, Bitters, Laxatives, Nerve Foods, Cholagogues (acting on the Liver), Diuretics and Diaphoretics (remedies acting on the Kidneys and Skin and thereby increasing their secretions and cleansing and purifying the Blood), Digestives, etc., etc., etc. It will thus be seen that a more complete and uniform General Tonic-Regulator could not be devised, for it acts upon the Brain, Mind, Nervous System, Digestive Organs, Spleen and Pancreas, the Bowels (keeping them in a healthy and regular manner only—not purging or weakening), upon the Heart, Lungs, Skin, Blood and Kidneys.
So skillfully is the combination made that no one ingredient interferes with the other, but on the contrary each seems to vie with the other in building up and renovating a shattered, weakened and disordered system.
Bilious, soggy, sleepy men, with aching heads, foul breaths, bad tasting mouths on rising, clogged secretions, sense of inability to exertion, furred or yellow tongues, and the like, absolutely need the Tonic-Regulator, and not Blue Mass or Anti-Bilious Pills. Weak, nervous, spiritless, exhausted, debilitated, pale, ambitionless, easily tired, prone to become short of breath and have pain in side on running, who find it hard to get sleep, are restless, brood over their troubles, real or imaginary, start at loud noises or sudden jars, perspire too easily, flush too readily, are not rested by sleep, and who are neuralgic, certainly need the Tonic-Regulator, and will find it rapid in action and very pleasant in its results. Health, strength, vigor, rosy cheeks, elastic step, cheery voice, zest and happiness, hope and ambition, hardy flesh and good ruddy blood, made by a perfect digestion of strong foods, will certainly follow, and as they come, all the old myths and phantoms, the melancholy, dread and brooding will disappear like unhealthy nightly vapors before the sun.
Men, young or old, who have let business cares and worries, mental trouble,When you are Tired of being Humbugged or Experimented on, send to us.family jars, overwork and constant brain wear and tear, confinement, or long hours in unhealthy offices, lack of exercise, too rapid bolting of food, and the like, ruin their previously good constitutions; or those who, through youthful abuses committed in ignorance and repented so bitterly, or later excesses from unbridled passions, have drained their vitality, established a condition of sexual atony (a, without;tonos, tone or strength or vigor), or done serious harm to their nervous systems, brains or minds, will find the very Vital Restorative and Special Generative Tonic they need the most in Civiale’s Tonic-Regulator.
It does not do one thing; it does many. While it throws open one door to let health, strength and vigor enter, it opens others for poisonous secretions, blood impurities and waste products to escape. It not only makes the blood purer and richer, but it strengthens the organ (the heart) that pumps it everywhere throughout the system. It not only builds up and rejuvenates the general system, but it brings vernal strength and power to the weakened and debilitated organs.
It was here that Civiale made Common Sense and Medical Science join hands. (a) With his Medicated Urethral Crayons he healed and strengthened the organs of Generation by direct local application. (b) While with the Tonic-Regulator he sent his powerful yet harmless emissaries (Tonics, Digestives, Cholagogues, Nervines and Nerve Foods, Laxatives, Diuretics, etc., etc.) into the system, by the stomach, with the food, thus guaranteeing their entrance into the blood which carried them to every nerve fibre and tissue and attacked the disease on every side.
This is why this double treatment, intelligently carried out, cannot fail to rebuild the most debilitated and exhausted constitution and check the most serious drains and losses.
As has already been stated, in some persons Seminal Disease and Losses of Vital Fluid lead to a wasting away, shrinking or dwindling of the Generative Organs. It exists in others from birth, and is in no way connected with Seminal Disease. Whichever be the case, it is nevertheless true that a wasted or deformed part of the body, be it arm, leg or what not, cannot in this condition be expected to perform its function in a natural, vigorous and healthy manner.
There is a great deal of ignorance upon this subject—ignorance that interferes greatly with the full and proper treatment of cases of Seminal weakness. Many sufferers from Seminal Disease and Impotence seem to think that just as soon as the losses or emissions are stopped, or erectile power returns, the parts will begin to grow and develop, and soon be restored to natural size and proportions. This is not so. In some few instances it does occur, but in the large majority it does not.
It is therefore necessary in these cases to take special measures to fully and perfectly develop the defective parts, and it can only be done by givingWe offer Special Help to Impotent Men.a new start to growth and circulation to the nervous and nutritive centres of these parts. A breast, a limb, a hand, indeed any part of the human body, especially in persons not past fifty years of age, can be enlarged and developed, and so, too, can the sexual organs.
The Developmental Lotionthat has been in use for many years, is a local application (viz., applied directly to the organs), and acts by stimulating growth, circulation and nutrition. It is cleanly, easily applied, rapid and satisfactory in its results, and we guarantee that it will give uniform satisfaction in all cases where our Board of Consulting Physicians recommend the case as favorable for it.
It is put up in quantity sufficient to accomplish a full and perfect development. Should more than is at first sent be needed to complete the development, we will furnish it at half-price. Full instructions accompany it.
It should be used in connection with the remedies for Impotency or Spermatorrhœa in every case where the organs are wasted. Its effects in such cases are wonderful and the results very gratifying.
