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- |
err indulgences. Young persons are too apt to
commit excuses from not being aware of the dread
full consequences that may Fensue. 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 uctiye symptoms
to both body 2na mind arise. Tho 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
prcmature 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-
TEN, Cough, and Symptoms 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
INDUCING 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 friend;

DR.. Johnston.
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lor
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Co
leges of the United States, and the greater pal
of whose life has been spent in the first Hospita
of London, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere
has effected some of the most astonishing cure
that were ever known, many troubled with ria gin
in the head and ears when asleep, great nervous
ness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and basil
fulness, with frequent ~blushing, attended som
times with arrangement of mind, were cured in
mediately.
A Certain Disease.
When the misguided ard imprudent votary
pleasure finds he has imbibtd the seeds of tn
painful disease, it too often happens that an i
timed sense Of shame, or dread of discovery, d
tiers him from applying to those who, from educ
ton and responsibility, can alone befriend hin
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of tn
horrid disease make their appearance such as u
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pail
in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafnes
nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotchcs on Il
head, face, and oxtremities, progressing with frigh
full rGpidity, till at last the palate of tho mouth
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim of I'll
awful disease becomes n horrid object of commiser
ton till death puts a period to his dreadful suTt
ings by sending them to " that bourne from when
no traveller returns" To such therefore /
Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most
= violable secrecy, and from his extensive practi
in the first hospitals in Europe and America,
can confidently recommend a safe and speedy CT
to the unfortunate victim Of this horrid disease.
1t is n melancholy fact, that thousands fall v
tins to this dreadful disease, owing to the unsl
fulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use
that dreadful poison, mercury, ruin the consti
ton, and either send the unfortunate sufferer
an untimely grave, or else make the residue of
life miserable.
