Immediately cured, and full vigor restored.
This disease is the penalty most frequently paid
by those who have become the victims of improp-
err indulgences. Young persons are too apt to
commit excuses from not being aware 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 of
spring, the most serious and dest uctive symptoms
to both body and mind arise. The system becomes
deranged, the physical and mental powers weaken

heart, indigestion, a wasting of the frame, cough,
symptoms Of consumption, ect.
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 1t 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 ether causes, the wasting

A Certain Disease.
When the misguided and imprudent vOtary
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of t
painful disease, it too often happens that an
timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
tiers him from applying to those who, from edu
ton and respectability, can alone betriend h
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of t
horrid disease make their appearance such as
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pa
in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafnC
nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on
head, face, and e~xtremities, progressing with frig
full ~rcpidity, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim of
awful disease becomes a horrid object of cOmmisC
ton till death puts q period to his dreadful sui
ings by sending them to " that bourne from whe
no traveller returns" To such therefore
Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most
violable secrecy, and from his extensive prac
in the first hospitals in Europe and America,
can confidently a safe and speedy

- 1t is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall
tins to this dreadful disease, owing to the un
ave fulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the u!

life miserable.
