Organic Weakness
Immediately cured, and full vigor restored.
This disease is the penalty most frequently paid
by those who have become the victims OF improp-
or iRdulgences. Young persons are too apt to
commit excuses from not being aware of tho dread
full consequences that may ensue. Now, who that
understands the subject will pretend to deny that
the power of Procreation is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits by the prudent. Be
sides being deprived the pleasure of healthy off
spring, the most serious and dest uctive symptoms
to both body and mind arise. The system becomes
deranged, the physical and mental powers weaken
cd, nervous debility, dyspepsia, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, a wasting OF the frame, cough,
symptoms of consumption, Get.
Nervous Debility.
Weakness of the system Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arise from the Des-
tructive habit of youth, that solitary practice so
fatal to the healthful existence Of man, and it is
the young who arc most apt to become its Victims
from an ignorance of the dangers to which they
subject themselves. Parents and Guardians are
often mislead with respect to the cause or source
Of disease in their sons and wards. Alas how
often do they ascribe to ether causes, the wasting
of the frame, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspep-
sy, indigestion, arrangement of the Nervous Sys-
tom, Cough, and Symptoms of Consumption, also,
those serious Mental effects, such as loss of MEM
cry, depression of spirits or peculiar fits OF Melan-
eholy, when the truth is they have been caused by
indulging in Pernicious but alluring practices, des-
~tructive to both Body and Mind. Thus are swept
from existence, thousands who might have been
of use to their Country, a pleasure to their friends
and ornament to Society,

nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on t
head, face, and e~xtremities, progressing with frigl

the bones ofthe nose fall in, and the victim of Il
awful disease becomes n horrid object of commisel

no traveller returns" To such therefore ]
Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most

can confidently ecommend a safe and speedy CT
to the unfortunate victim of this horrid disease
1t is q melancholy fact, that thousands fall v
tins to this dreadful disease, owing to the uns
fulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use
by that dreadful poison, mercury, ruin the const

all life miserable.
