Stran 24 - Nature designs that this drain upon the system should be reserved to mature age, and even then that it be made but sparingly. Sturdy manhood, in all its vigor, loses its energy, and bends under the too frequent expenditure of this important secretion...
Stran 29 - All the remaining energies of animal life seem to be concentrated in these organs, and all the remaining power to gratification left is in the exercise of this . . . loathsome and beastly habit.
Stran 39 - ... in the end; let him avoid reading aught that excites this passion, take regular active exercise in the open air and sun; also in the gymnasium, if living in a village or city, or work on a farm if in the country. In regard to diet, let him attend to the following suggestions by Dr. Woodward: "The regimen must be strict, the diet should be simple and nutritious, and sufficient in quantity; it should be rather plain than light and abstemious; no stimulating condiments should be used ; the suppers...
Stran 65 - ... aver, that no cause whatever, which operates upon the human system, prostrates all its energies, mental, moral and physical to an equal' extent. I have seen more cases of idiocy from this cause alone, than from all the other causes of insanity. If insanity and idiocy do not result, other diseases, irremediable and hopeless, follow in its train, or such a degree of imbecility marks its ravages upon body and mind, as to destroy all the happiness of life', and make existence itself wretched and...
Stran 10 - Having endured so long under this blighting, withering curse, my constitution, naturally very strong, is broken down, and my mind, as well as body, completely enervated. I am haunted day and night with lascivious thoughts and dreams, suspicious of my friends and disgusted with myself. My memory has lost its power. Unable to fix my attention, my mind is filled with terrible forebodings, fear of insanity, and at times it has cost me a continual effort to retain my reason.
Stran 19 - The individual becomes feeble, is unable to labor with accustomed vigor, or to apply his mind to study ; his step his tardy and weak ; he is dull, irresolute, engages in his sports with less energy than usual, and avoids social intercourse. When at rest, he instinctively assumes a lolling or recumbent posture; and if at labor or at his games, takes every opportunity to lie down or sit in a bent and curved position. The cause of these infirmities is often unknown to the subject of them, and more generally...
Stran 27 - Masturbation" listed typical symptoms as feebleness and lack of vigor. 52 In a later article in the same journal, the author claimed masturbation led to insanity: "The victim of this practice passes from one degree of imbecility to another, till all the powers of the system, mental, physical and moral, are blotted out forever.
Stran 51 - The case is not without hope, although of so long standing, if the cause is removed. " Three or four similar cases have been under my care recently, in which individuals of the same sex have been reduced to the same degraded state. They are now, and will continue to be while life remains, a melancholy spectacle of human misery, without mind, without delicacy or modesty, constantly harassed by the most ungovernable passion...
Stran 19 - Ma down or sit in a bent and curved position. The cause of these infirmities is often unknown to the subject of them, and more generally to the friends ; and to labor, or study, or growth, is attributed all the evils which arise from the practice of this secret vice, which, if persisted in, will hardly fail to result in irremediable disease, or hopeless idiocy.
Stran 65 - ... to twenty-five cases, daily, who have been the victims of this debasing habit, and I aver, that no cause whatever, which operates upon the human system, prostrates all its energies, mental, moral and physical, to an equal extent.
