A CERTAIN DISEASE.
when the misguided and mprudent vOtary of plea
sure finds he has imbbed the seeds ofthis painful dis
ease, 1t too often happens that n-timed sense OF
shame, or dread of discovery deters him from apply
ing TO those who, from education and responsibility
can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this horrid disease make their appear
ance, such as liberated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs ,dmness of sight,
deafness, nodes the shin bones and arms, botcheB
on the head taceand exremities, progressing with
Igntiul rapdity, till at last the palate OF the mouth
he bones of the nose fall in and the victim of this
full disease becomes hofTd object of administrations
till death puts period to his dreadful suferngs, by
sending him TO ''that bourne whence no traveller re-
turns" To such, therefore, DIR. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the most invOlabe secrecy; and,
from his extensive practice in the first hospitals OF
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend

| OF this distressing disease which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit but very
brief description for many reasons, can be given here,
The complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by a
too hasty discharge of in cepulative and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,

the discharges or emissions become more easily ex-
cited and frequent, often brought on bylascivious
ideas, or By merely touching the part. this deplo
rable case, the emissions take place without apy
pleasure and without erection, and in this debiIitaed
and sensitive state of the organs the direfl effects of
| pollution so ruinous to health, take place day and
night. Pale, emacated, and weak, the unhappy VIC
tim of ARTIFICIAL qualification complains of pain in the
head and back, has languid look, dmness of sight

rts, and vague dread Of something, often startins
