thra (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.

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 Spermatorrhoea 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's+ knowledge 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
that +Lallemand's+ idea that the deep urethra, where the seminal ducts
open into it, was the real seat of the disease in both +Spermatorrhoea+
and +Impotence+, 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
f
