Consumption is talked of, and per- bape the youth is removed from schos! andeent into theceantry. This is one of the worst move- ments. Bemoved from ordinary diver-ions of the ever-changing scenes of the city, the powers of the | body too much enfeebled to give zest to healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are terned inwards ‘upon themselves, If the patient bea female, the approach of the menses f+ looked for with anxiety, as the first symptoms fn which Nature is to show her saving power in diffusing the circulation and visiting the cheek with the bloom of health. Alas! increase of appetit: bas grown by what it fed on; the ener- rics of the System are prostrate, and the whole economy is deranged The beautifuland wonier fal period in which body and mind undergo #0 fascinating a change from child to woman, is looked for im vain; the parent's heart bieeis in anxiety ,and fancies the grave but waiting for its victim. HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT BUCHU, for Weak- ness arising frem excesses or early indiscretion, attended witi: the following symptoms : In Jisposi- | tion to Exertion. Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, Difficulty of Breathing, General Weakness, Hor- ror of Disease, Weak Nerves, Trembling, Dres\- ful Horror of Death, Nicht Sweats, Cold Feet, ‘W akefaloess, Dimness of Vision, Langoar, Uni- versa! Lassitade of the Mascelar System, Often Enormous Appetite with Dyspeptic Symptoms. Hot Hands Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the Skia, Pallid €ountensnce and Eruptionson the Face. Pain in the Pack, Heaviness of the Eyeli's. Fre svently Black f pots Flying before the Eyes, with Temporary Suffasion and Loss of Sight, Want «/ Attention, Great Mobility, Restieseness, with H rrorof Society. Mothing is more desirable t such patients than Solitnde and mothing they more @read, for Fear of Themselves; no Repose of Man- ner, no Barnestness, no Speculation. but a hur ried Transition from one question to amothe-r. These symptoms, if allowed to go on—which this Medicine it variably removes—soon follow Loss of Power, Fetuity. and Epileptic Fite, in one of which the patient may expire. ‘* During tue Superintendence of Dr. Wilson at the Bloomingdsie Asylum, this sad result occurred to two patients; reason had for s time left them. and both died of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and about twenty years of age. Who can say that these excesses are mot frejuent- ly followed by those direful diseases Insanity and Congareption ’ The records of the Insane Asylums. and the melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to the trath of these assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. Ibe countenance is actually sodden and quite destitute—neither Mirth or Grief ever visite it.
