This disease is the penalty most frequently paid
by those who have become the victims of improp-
er 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

falling into improper habits by the prudent Be
sides being deprived the pleasure of healthy off,

When the misguided and imprudent votary

ton and fespectability, can alone befriend h
r delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
a horrid disease make their appearance such as
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pa
oe in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafn
re nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on
of head, face, and ~extrenities, progressing with fri:
~ full repidity, till at last the palate of the moutl
the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim of
m awful disease becomes a horrid object of commis
al ton till death puts q period to his dreadful SUI
ra ings by sending them to " that bourne from whe
he no traveller returns" To such therefore

violable secrecy, and from his extensive prac

can confidently recommend a safe and speedy
