CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided andimprudent votary OF plea
sure hnds he has Rbibed the seeds of this painful dis
case, it too often happens that an itimed of
shame, dread of discovery, deters hm from apply
ing to those who, from education and respectabiny
can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms OF this hOrrd disease make their appear
ance, such ulceTaLed throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs dimness of sight,
Deafness nodes on the shin bones and arms, hotcbes
on the head; aceaHd Cxuemtes, progressing on with
lrightu rapidly, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones Of the fail in and the victim OF this
full disease becomes hOnd object of cOmmiseratiOn,
till death puts period to his dreadful sufenngs, by
sending him to Ethat bourne whence no traveller re-
turns.' To such, therefore, DR.. JOHNSTON pledges
himself TO preserve the most nviolabe 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 horrd disease.
Its melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims
to this horrd disease, owing 10 the unsklfulness of
men, who by the of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitution, and either send the unfortunate
suffer 10 an antiney grave, or else make the residue
of his life miserable,

cacous, eradicatng every symptom OF this affection,
without causing other diseases, such as STRUCTURE
and AFFECTIONS OF THE BLADDER and PRosTRATE
GLAND which impyrcs and quackS so often create by
their norous drugs and filthy infections.
STRICTURES-WheH there is partial suppress
sion of urine, accompanied with uHeasiness in the
parts, frequent desire to make WATER 1t is called
Structure. Yet this disease may exist, ana none OF
these symptoms be percepdble, or if at all they are
so slight as to pass unnoticed hence We find thou
sands laborng under this affection who are entirely
unconscious of it-such persons become weak i'll the
parts, seldom have CtdTe and in the later stages OF
this complaint are incapable of enjoying Marriage
their systems become deranged particularly the
stomach inducing symptoms OF dyspepsia also atfec-
tons of the mind peculiar hts OF melancholy, &c.

nerves, and viii either caJse plema AZURE death or
else make the rest of life miserable. To such per

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Young men wins have injured themselves by Ger
tain practice INDUCED in when alone-a habit fre-
Guenty learned fIom evil companions, or at school
the effects Of which nightly felt even when asleep,
and if not cured renders marriage Impossible, ind de-
strOys both mind and body.
| What pitv that young man, the hope of his
country, and the darling of his parents, should pc
sHatched from all tBe prospects and eEjoyments Of
life by the consequences of devatng from The path OF

persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that a sound and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubal happiness.
Indeed, without these, the journey through life be-
comes weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
ems to the vew-the mind becomes Swallowed WIN
despair and filed with the melancholy reflection, that
the happiness of another becomes blighted with our
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.
Dr. J. addresses young men and all who have in

Loss of yirile power is the penalty most frequently
paid by those who give loose rein or license 10 their
passions, Young persons are too apt TO commit ex-
cesses from not being aware OF the dTeauu ehects
that may ensue. Although impotency occdrs from
structure depOstes in the urinc gravel and from nu-
merOus other causes, yet the abuse of the seXuI
rans by excessive venery or set-polluuon; Fdfticu
larry the latter is the more frequent cause OF it, Now
who that understands the subject will pretend deny
hal the power of procreaRg the species is lost soon
er by those who practice the solitary rice than by the
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the d.
gestye functions are deranged, and the physical and
mental powers weakened by too frequent and too
great excitement of the genital organs. Parents and
guardians are often mised, with respect to the
causes or sources of disease in their sons and wards
How often do they ascrbe TO other causes the vast
ing of the frame, idocy, madness, paptation 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
dulgng in perncious, though allurng practice, Ges
tructve 10 both mind and body
INT0L UNT.4RY 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 be given here
The complaint comes on gradually. 1t begins by
too hasty discharge of semen in copulatve and pas
sionate dreams Such emissions being too hasty,
have no power, while the erections are feeble, mper
feet and soon over. AS the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become more easily eT-
cited and frequent, often brought on by ascivOus
ideas, or by merely touching the part In this depo-
Iable case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this de5itated
and sensitive state of the organs the defu effects OF
pollution rulnous TO health, IA Se place day ana
night. Pale, emaciated and weak, the unhappy vic
tim OF artificial qualification complains OF pam IN the
head and back, has langld look, dmhess o! slght,
flushing of the face when spoken 10, owness of spi-
rits, and vague dread of something oten starting
with terror at sudden sight or sound He also
loaths society, from IN innate sense OF shame, and
! feels n dislike 10 all bodily and mental exertion-
Distressed, and his mind fixed upon his mseries, he
slvly searches every source lhat promises relief
Ashamed to make known his situation to his friends
or those who by education, study land practical know
ledae are able TO relieve him, he applies to the igno-
rani and designing, who fitch him of his pecuniary
substance, and instead of restoring him TO health
We hm to sigh his CALLING disappointment; The
last scene OF the drama winds up with mania, cata
epsy epilepsy some terrible disease of the nerves
and death drops the curtain, hurryng the unhappy
natie1t 10 an untmelY tomb, where his friends are
iotany ignorant of the real cause.
