DR.. JOHNSTON,
a distinguished graduate from one of the first Col
leges in the United States which may be seen by his
Diploma; also, a member of the Royal College OF
surgeons and Licentiate of the Apothecary's Hail,
L0ndon and the greater part of whose life has been
spent in the first hospitals of Europe and America,
viz: those of London Paris and Philadelphia, may
be consulted on all diseases, but more particularly
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided andimprudent votary of plea
sure finds he has mbbed the seeds of this painful dis
ease il too often happens that ltimed sense OF
shame, dread of discovery, deters him from apply
ing TO those who, from education and responsibility
can alone befrend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this honid disease make their appear
ance, such liberated throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs dmness of sight
deafness, nodes the shin bones and arms, blotches
on the head, faceand exremities, progressing with
frghtful rapidty, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones of the fall in and the victim OF this aw
ul disease becomes hoIrid object of commiseraton,
till death puts period TO his dreadful sufenngs, by
sending him 'Fthat bourne whence no traveller
turns" To such therefore, DIR. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the most invioable secrecy and,
from his extensive practice in the hrst hospitals or
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
a safe and speedy to the unfortunate victim OF
this horrid disease.
1t is melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
to this horrd disease, owing 10 the unskIlfuness o.
men, who by the of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitutions and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an unmely grave or else make the residue
OF his lifemiserable.

these symptoms be perccptbe, if at all, they are

this complaint are incapable of enjoying Marriage

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Young men whe have injured themselves by a Ger
tain practice INDUCED in when alone-a habit fre
quently learned from evil companions, or at school
the effects of which nightly felt even when asleep,
and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and de-
stroys both mind and body.
! What a pity that a young man, the hope Of his
| country, and the darling of his parents, should be
snatehed from all the prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequences of devatng from the path of
nature and induleiBg in 4 certain secret habit Such
persons before contemplating
Should reflect that sound and body are the most
necessary requisites promote connubial happiness.
Indeed, without these, the journey through life be-
weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
ems to the view-the mind becomes Swallowed with
despair and filled with the melancholy reflection, that
the happiness of another becomes blighted with orr
own.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.
DR.. J. addresses young men and all who have in
iured themselves by private improper indulgences.
IMP o TEN CE-VE.aKNESS OF THE GEM
tai ORGANS.
Loss of virile power is the penalty m0sttreq uenuy
paid by those who give loose rein or license TO their
! passions. Young persons are too apt 10 commute K
cesses from not being aware OF the dreadful effects
| that may ensue. Although impotency occurs from
structure depostes i'll the urine, gravel and from nu
other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual or
gans by excessive venery or self-poution; particu
who that understands the subject will pretend to deE
that the power of procreang the species is lost soon
by those who practice the solitary rice than by tho
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di-
eestve functions deranged, and the physical and
mental powers weakened by a too frequent and toe
great excitement of the genital organs. Parents and
| guardians eften mised, with respect to the
of disease in their SONS and wards.
How often do they ascribe to other causes the vast
ing fthe frame, diotcy madness, papitation of the
heart, indigestion arrangement of the nervous sys-
| tom mt n m
when the truth is that they have been caused by in
dulging in pernicious, though auring practice des
tructive TO both mind and body.
INVOL UNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
OF this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit but a very
brief description for many reasons, can be given here.
| The complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by d
| too hasy discharge of semen in copulave and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
have no power, while the erecons feeble, imper-
! feet and soon over. As the disorder grows worse,
| the discharges or emissions become more easily eI-
cited and frequent, often brought on by ascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the part In this depo-
| rable case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debitaed
and sensitive state of the organs the dreu effects OF
pollution so ruinOus TO health take place day and
night. Pale, emaciated and weak, the unhappy VIC
tim of artificial qualification complains of pain in the
head and back, has angud look, dmness of sight,
flushing of the face when spoken TO, lowness of sp
rts, and vague dread of something, often starting
with terror at a sudden sight or sound. He also
loaths society, from innate sense oil shame, and
| feels dislike to all bodily and mental exertion.-
Distressed and his mind fixed upon his miseries, he
slyly searches every source mat promises relief.
Ashamed TO make known his SITUATION to his friends
or those who by education, study land practical know
ledge, able to relieve him. he applies to the igno
rant and designing, who hIch him of his peGuniar
| substance and instead of restoring him to heatth
leave him to sigh his CALLING disappointment; The
| last scene of the drama winds up with mania cata
epsy, epilepsy or some terrible disease OF the nerves
| and death drops the curtain, hurrying the unhapp
| natient to an untimely tomb, where his friendsir
| totany ignorant of the real cause.
