Immediately cured, and full vigor restored. lii
This disease is the penalty most frequently paid i
by those who have become the victims of improp- ST
er indulgences. Young persons ere too apt to Ell
commit excuses from not being aware of the dread Il
full consequences that may ensue. Now, who that n
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- i
sides being deprived the pleasure of healthy off t
spring, the most serious and dest uctive symptoms c
to both body and mind arise. The system becomes c
deranged, the physical and mental powers weaken
ed, nervous debility, dyspepsia, palpitation Of the
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 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 ether causes, the wasting
of the frame, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspep-
sy, Indigestion, arrangement of the Nervous Sys-
tenn, Cough, and Symptoms of Consumption, also,
those serious Mental effects, such as loss of men,
DRY, depression of spirits or peculiar fits of Melan-
choly, when the truth is they have been caused by
indulging in Pernicio1s but alluring practices, des-
tructiye 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 Hospitals

A Certain Disease.
When the misguided and imprudent votary o.
pleasure finds he has imbibod the seeds of thi
painful disease, it too often happens that an ill
timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, de
tiers him from applying to those who, from educa
ton and respectabiiity, can alone befriend him
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of thi
horrid disease make their appearance such as u
n cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pain

q nodes on the shin bones and arms, hlotches on til
II head, face, and eXtremities, progressing with frigh
full rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim of th
awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiser
ton till death puts a period to his dreadful sufe
ings by sending them to " that bourne from when
no traveller returns" To such therefore j
es 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 and speedy Gu
to the unfortunate victim ofthis horrid disease.
Nv 1t is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall VI
Tins to this dreadful disease, owing to the unsk
fulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use
that dreadful poison, mercury, ruin the constit
ton, and either send the unfortunate sufferer
an untimely grave, or else make the residue of
life miserable.
