The erector muscles become paralyzed, and the organ remains inactive at the call of the will.
The person thus afflicted is greatly embarrassed and mortified at his paralytic condition. That buoyancy of spirit is gone; the snap, vim and vigor that once held sway has departed—and why? Because that great motive power (amativeness) that gives the push and go-aheaditiveness is checked, or rather, ceases to act.
THE CURABILITY OF SPERMATORRHŒA AND IMPOTENCY.
Having before us the records of some three thousand cases, grave, simple and severe, that have come under our treatment in this country, as well as When you are Tired of being Humbugged or Experimented on, send to us. the printed copies of the French Hospital Reports, and Civiale’s Works, in which he minutely reviews all phases of this complaint, illustrating them with cases from his own practice, we feel justified in assuring our readers that almost any case can be cured, provided thoroughness is the maxim of treatment.
The method of Profs. Jean Civiale and Lallemand, as now perfected and extended by us, and so justly named after Civiale, stands unrivaled in its success as well as its simplicity and reasonableness. To all such as suffer from this harassing complaint we commend, first, a careful reading of the history of this discovery and the eminent medical men and hospitals that endorse it; and, second, a fair trial of these remedies, no matter how hopeless, despondent and despairing you may be. (See page 55.)
Although the advertising and spreading, and the ringing to full perfection of this treatment is really due to us and our physicians, still we feel in duty bound to always keep in view the two great French surgeons who first discovered the method of intra-urethral medication.
