urgeOns and Licentiate of the Apothecary's Hail,

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
when the misguided and imprudent vOtary of plea
sure nndS he mas mbhed the seeds 0Cthis palnfd dis
ease, ii too often happens that -timGd sense OF
shaWc or dread OF discovery, deters him from apply
ing to those who, from education and responsibility
can alone BCfriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms Of this horrd disease make their appear
ance, such as liberated sore throat diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs ,dRness OF sight,
Deafness nodes on the shin bones and arms, blUtcheE
on the head, aceand eXtremtes progressing with
lghin raP!dity till al last the palate OF the mouth
the bones of the nose fall in and the victim Of this aw-
iu disease becomes horrd object of conmiseratOn,
till death puts period his dreadful sufierngs by
sending him 10 chat bourne whence no traveller re-
turns" To such, therefore, DR.. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the nviOlahG secrecy; and,
from his extensive practice in the arst hospitals Of
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
a safe aud speedy cure 10 the unfortunate victim OF
this hOtIid disease.
1t is melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
to this hOTrld disease, owing TO the unskiuness o.
men, who by the use of that deadly poison mercury,
ruin the constlutiUn and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an Hntimely grave else make the residue
of his liemiserable.

Structure. Yet this disease may exist, and none o.
these symptoms be perceptbc, OF /; at all, they are
so slight as to pass unnOtlCed; hence, we find thou
sands Iaborng under this affection who are entirely
unconscious OF it such persons become weak in the
parts, seldom hGue children, and in the later stages OF
this complaint are incapable of enjoying Marriage
their systems become deTanged, particularly the
stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec
tions of the mind, peculiar fits OF melancholy, sc.
&c. which may end in some dreadful disease Of the
nerves, and will either caJse premature death OF
else make the rest of life miserable. To such per
sons, DIR. JOHNSTON offers the most speedy remedy
that can be obtained il the United States.

! Young men whe have injured themselves by Ger
tain practice INDUCED in when alone-a habit ffe
quenuy learned from evil companions, at school,
tue effects of which are nightly felt even when aseen
and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and de-
strOyS both mind and body.
What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, and the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments OF
life by the consequences of deviang from the path OF
nature and INDUCING in certain secret habit. Such
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that sound and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote COnnubal happiness
Indeed, without these, the journey through life be-
comes weary pigrimage, 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 our
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.
