A CERTAIN DISEASE.
! When the misguided and mprudeni votary of plea
sure hnds he has imbbed the seeds Ofths painful die
ease, It too often happens that ill-med of
shahe' or dread OF discovery deters him from apply

can alone beriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this horrid disease make their appear

DEAFNESS, nodes on the shin bones and arms blotches

irghtful rapdity, till at last the palate of the mouth or
Ihe bones of the nose fall in and the victim Of this
iul disease becomes hOrrd object of cOmmiseraton,
AL death puts period TO his dreadful sufarings, by
sending him ''that bourne whence no traveller re-
turns" TO such, therefore, DR.. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the most invioHbe secrecy; and,
from his extensive practice in the frsJ HOSPITALS of
Europe and America he can confidently recommend
a sAfe and speedy cure TO the unfortunate victim of
this horTid disease.
Its melancholy fact that thousands fall victim
10 this horrd disease, owing to the unskilfuness
men; who by the use of that deadly poisOn mercury,

Loss of Vrile power is the penalty most Frequently
paid by those who give loose rein or license to their
passions. Young persons are too apt to commit ex-
cesses from not being of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occurs from
structure, daposes in the urine, gravel and from ni-
mcrous Other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual Of
gans, by excessive venery or selfpollutiOR partieu
larly the latter is the more frequent of it. Now
who that understands the subject will pretend TO deny
that the power OF prOcreatng the species is lost sooa-
by those who practice the soltGry rice than by the
prudent: BESIDES by premature impotence the di-

The complaint comes gradually. 1t begins bya

the discharges or emissions become more easily ex-
cited and frequent often brought on by lascivious
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 debihlated
and sensitive state OF the organs the direu effects of
pollution so ruinous to health, take place day and
night. Pale, emaciated, and weak the uHhappy vic
