Diploma; also, a member of the Royal College of
surgeons and Licentate of the Apothecay's Hall,

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided andmpYudentv ota ~ of plea
sure finds he has imbbed the seeds of this painful dis
ease, it too often happens that Itimed sense OF
shame, or dread Of discovery, deters him from apply
ing TO those who from education and responsibility
can alone beriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms Of this horrid disease make their appear
anee such as liberated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs ,dmness Of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms blochea
on the head, faceand ex;remtes progressing with
frighu raPidy, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones Of the nose fail in and the victim of this aw-
full disease becomes hond object of commiseraton,
till death puts period TO his dreadful sufernpE, By
sending him to ''that bourne whence traveller re-
turns" To such, therefore, DR.. 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
a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim Of
this hOnid disease.
1t is melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
to this horrid disease, owing TO the unskuness o.
men, who by the use Of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitutions and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an Hnmely grave, or else make the residus
of his lifemiserabe

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
: Young men who have injured themselves by a Ger
tain practice INDUCED in when alone-a habit ire
quently learned from evil companions or at school
the effects of which nightly felt when asleep
and if not cured renders marriage impossible and
stroys both mind and body.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, and the daring OF his parents, should be
snatched from all the prospects and eniOyments of
life by the consequences of devatng from the path Of
nature and indugiBg III certain secret habit. Such
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that a sound and hody are the most

Indeed without these, the journey through life be-
comes weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
ems TO the yiew-the mind becomes Swallowed with
despair, and filled with the melancholy reflection that
the happiness of another becomes bghted with our
own.
INSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.
DR.. J. addresses young men aud all who have in
jdred themselves by private improper ndulgences
IMP o TEN CE-WEAKNES OF THE GEM
TIL ORGANS.
Loss of vrile power is the penalty mOstfreq uentIy
paid by those who give loose rein license TO their
passions. Young persons are too apt TO commit g 4
cesses nom not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impOrency occurs from
structure deposes in the urinc gravel and from nu-
merous other causes yet the abuse of the sexual or
gans, by excessive venery or setpolution; paTticu
larly the latter is the frequent cause of it, Now
who that understands the subject will pretend to deny
that The power of prOcreang the species is lost soon
or by those who practice the solitary Uce than by the
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the d.
gestve functions are derapged and the 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 IN the
causes of disease in their sons and wards
How often do they ascribe to other causes the vast
ing ofthe frame, dotcy, madness, palpitaton of the
heart, indigestion, arrangement of the nervous sys-
TEN, cough and SYMPTOMS, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that they have been caused by in
duging in pernicious, though alluring practice des
tructive to both mind and body

OF this distressing disease, which is the common

The complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by a
too hasy discharge of in cVuulative and pas-
sonate dreams. Such emissions being TOO hasty
have nopower, while the erectiOns are feeble imper-
feet and soon over. AS the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become easily ex-
cited and frequent, often brought on by ascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the part In this deplo
rfSble case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debiIi,aed
and sensitive state of the organs the Gre effects of
pollution so runous TO health, take place day and
night. Pale, emaciaed, and weak, the unhappy VIC
tim of artificial qualification complains of pain in the
head and back, has languid look, 6imness of sight
