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
Afalling into improper habits by the prudent. Be-
pSides being deprived the pleasure of healthy off
spring, the most serious and dest uctive symptoms
to both body and mind arise. The system becomes

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
of the frame, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspep-

DR.. Johnston.
Member Of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduate from one Of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States, and the greater par
Of whose life has been spent in the first Hospital
of London, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere
has effected some of the most astonishing cure
that were ever known, many troubled With ri gin
in the head and ears when asleep, great nervous
ness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and basil
fulness, with frequent b~lushing, attended som,
times with arrangement of mind, were cured in
mediately.
A Certain Disease.
When the misguided and imprudent votary
pleasure finds be has imbibed the seeds of tn
painful disease, it too often happens that an il
timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, d.
ters him from applying to those who, from educi
ton and Hespectability, can alone befriend hin
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of tn
horrid disease make their appearance such as u
oerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pair
in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness
nodes on the shin bones and arms, hlotches on tt
head, face, and extremities, progressing with frigh
full repidity, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim Of tn
awful disease becomes u horrid object of commiser
ton till death puts a period to his dreadful SUITE
ings by sending them to " that bourne from when
5ls no traveller returns" To such therefore u
Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most i
violable secrecy, and from his extensive practi
in the first hospitals in Europe and America,
can confidently recommend a safe end speedy Gu
or to the unfortunate victim of this horrid disease.
1t is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall vi
u Tins to this dreadful disease, owing to the unsk
ms fulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use
In that dreadful poison, mercury, ruin the constit
zee ton. and either send the unfortunate sufferer
an untimely grave, or else make the residue of
life miserable.
