diploma; also, member Of the Royal College OF

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 and impTudent vOtary of plea
sure finds he has mbbed the seeds of this painful dis
ease, il too often happens that an 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 liberated throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs dmness of sight,
Deafness nodes on the shin bones and arms, botches
on the head, tacednd GXtremtes, progressing on with
frightu rapdy till at last the palate of the mouth or
the bones of the fall in and the victim of this
I'll diseased becomes hotTd object of COMMUNICATION,
till death puts period to his dreadful suferngs, by
sending him ''that bourne whence no traveller
tums.'' To such, therefore, DR.. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the most involable secrecy; and,
from his extensive practice in the hrst hospitals OF
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim OF
this hOrrid disease.
tits melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
TO this hOrd disease, owing 10 the unskllliuness o.
men, who by the of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitution, and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an Hnmely grave, or else make the residue
of his litemiserabe.

IMP NCE-WEAKNESS OF THE GEM
tai ORGANS
Loss of virile power is the penalty mostfteq uenty
paid by those who give loose rein or license to theI
passions. Young persons are too apt to commute K
cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occurs from
structure, depOsites in the urine, gravel, and from
merous other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual Or
gans by excessive vencTy or selt-poution; paIticu
laTly the latter is the more frequent cause of it, Now
who that understands inc SUBJECT Will pretend 10 deny
that the power of prOcreating the species is lost
by those who practice the SotaTyric than by the
prudent Besides, by premature impotence the d.
gestve functions dGranged, and tie physical and
mental powers weakened by a too frequent and too
great excitement of the genital organs Parents and
guardians are often mised, with respect to the
sources of disease in their sons and wards.
How often do they ascribe TO other causes the vast

heart, indigestion arrangement of the nervous sys-

INVOLUNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
OF this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit but very
brief description for many reasons, can he given here
The complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by
too hasty discharge of in copulatiye and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being TOO hasty,
have no power, while the erccOns are feeble, impeT
feet and soon over. AS the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become more easily e4-
cited and frequent, often brought on by iascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the part In this deplO
rabe case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debiiaed
and sensitive state ofthe organs the drefil 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 anguid look, dimness of sight,
