HIDDEN SPERMATORRHOEA.

In many cases the seminal ducts have become so weak and relaxed that
the fluid passes off involuntarily with the water and is not perceived;
also when straining at stool and when you have an erection. To test its
escape in the urine, pass off your water in a clear glass pint bottle
and let it stand twenty-four hours in a warm place; then hold up the
bottle between yourself and the light, and if you discover a sediment
of a +white, fleecy+ nature, resembling cotton, in the bottom, you are
suffering from +hidden spermatorrhoea+, from which all your present
ailments come. Where this fluid passes off with the urine, it is just as
injurious to the system as full emissions, as it is a continual drain
day after day, as well as taking that part of the vitality which goes
to supply the brain and nerves. Many patients afflicted in this way
will notice, shortly after urinating, a +dull pain+ in the forehead,
sometimes extending to the +eye-balls+, causing, as well, a feeling of
+general debility+, as if they had no strength or will to do anything.
If this weakness is allowed to go on unchecked, the mind will become
diseased, the eye-sight will be impaired, and the vital forces
consumed--thereby causing +partial and complete impotency+. Should you
desire greater certainty in testing, either send on a sample of your
urine, or test it with our powder.

The characteristic symptoms of partial impotency are: an imperfect
erection, or, if the erection is sufficiently vigorous, it is of too
short a duration, and the vital fluid is discharged prematurely.

The erector muscles become paralyzed, and the organ remains inactive at
the call of the will.
