True, and you will find that the guarantee is legally correct and binding. But―― This is the way they trap you: In the guarantee they promise to return your money――and sometimes more as a bait――IF YOU GIVE REASONABLE PROOF THAT YOU WERE A VICTIM OF INJURIOUS HABITS BEFORE TREATMENT, AND THAT THE TREATMENT HAS NOT CURED YOU. When you demand your money back they will send you a blank to fill out and return. They inform you that when this blank is properly filled out they will at once return the money. I presume they will, but I have never heard of such a case and I have investigated hundreds of these schemes. The blank you are asked to fill out is such that no victim will return it. It requires you to get the signatures of your minister, one of the principal business men in your town and your father or next of kin, certifying that you had the habit before taking treatment and that you have it now. Then this must be taken before a notary and witnessed――the blood-suckers! If you have any reason to think that you may be in danger of falling into the habit of self-abuse, do this: Every time the temptation comes to you go at once and bathe your sex organs in cold water. If it is in one of those half-waking conditions in the morning, WAKE UP. Go at once and plunge the parts in cold water. Take a cold shower, if possible; if not, have a big sponge always ready and let the cold water run down your back and all over the sex organs――testicles and penis. If the temptation comes at night before you have gone to sleep, get out of bed _at once_, no matter how cold it is, the colder the better, and apply the icy water. Take cold? Not a bit of it. These are old women’s tales; what all boys need are the true facts of life from men. You want to be stopped from being cuddled up in warm blankets and told not to get out of bed, and all that nonsense. While you are breaking up any impulses to do that which you know is injurious, is the time for developing the will. This can be done by all boys and bring you to a state of self-control that has been sadly lacking in the past generation.
