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-
er indulgcnces. Young persons are too apt to
commit excuses from not beingaHare Of the 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 des, uctive symptoms
to both body and mind arise. The system becomes
.dsranged, the physical and mental powers weaken

heart, indigestion, a wasting of the frame, cough,
symptoms of consumption, eet.
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 tho healthful existence of man, and it is
the young who are 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 other causes, the wasting
of the frame, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspep-
sy, Indigestion, arrangement OF the Nervous Sys-
letn, IOuSu, anu SynptOmS OF consumption, also,
those serious Mental effects, such as loss of mem
DRY, depression of spirits or peculiar fits Of Melan-
choly, 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 ornaments to Society,

Of whose life has been spent in the first Hospital
Of London, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere
has eff ected some of the most astonishing cure
that were ever known, many troubled with RI, gin,
in the bead and ears when asleep, great nervous
ness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and bash

times with arrangement of mind, were cured i'm

A Certain Disease.
When the misguided and imprudent votary @
pleasure finds be has imbibed the seeds Of m;
painful disease, it too often happens that an in
timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery. de
tiers him from applying to these who, from educa
ton and respectability, can alone befriend him
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of thi
horrid disease make their appearance such as vi
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pain
in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness
nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches On IN
head, face, and e1trenities, progressing with fright
full repidity, till at last the palate of the mouth @
the bones Of the nose fall in, and the victim of tbi
awful disease becomes a horrid object Of
ton till death puts a period to mis- dreadful suffer
iEgs by sending them to " that bourne from whenc
10 traveller returns" To such therefore Dr.
Johnston pledges himself to preserve the mort in
} violsble secrecy, and from his extensive practic
in the first hospitals in Europe and America. b
can confidently recommen a safe and speedy cur
to the unfortunate victim of this horrid disease.
1t is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall vic
Tins to this dreadful disease, owing to the unski
fulness Of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use {
, that dreadful poison, mercury, ruin the constitr
| ton, and either send the unfortunate sufferer
8 an untimely grave, OF else make the residue of b
life miserable.
