IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TRAVELLERS.
YNllERE is no malady OF deeper Importance,

to which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.

far as in his power, their bodily suffering HUI
man nature at best but frail; all are liable to

OF all ills that affect man, none are more ter

it is in the person who contracts it, frightfu as
are its ravages upon his constitution. ending fire.
quently in destruction and loathsomc grave, it
becomes of still greater Importance when it is
transmitted to innocent offspring. Such being
Sle case, how important it becomes that every
one having the least reason 10 fear that they have
contracted the disease, should attend to it at
once by consulting some physician, whose respec-
liability and education enables him to warrant
safe, speedy, and permanent cure. In accordance
with this necessity, DR.. Young feels called upon
to state that by long study and extensive practice,
he has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal.
and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other Physician in the United
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat
them.

The doctor effects cure in recent cases in a
few days, and finds no difficulty in curing those
of long duration, without submitting the patient
to such treatment as will neglect his business,

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY AND SEMI
NAL WEAKNESS.
nR. YOUNG addresses those who have injured
~ themselves by improper indulgences in that
secret ANA solitary habit which ruins the BODY
and the mind uniting them for either business
or society The following are some OF the sad
and melancholy effects produced by early habits
of YOUTH viz: Weakness Of the back and limbs,
pain in the head, dmness of sight, loss of muscu-
lar power, palpitation of the heart dyspepsia,
nervousness, irritabilty, arrangement of the d.
gestive functions, general debility, symptoms OF
consumption, &c.
MENTALLY-Th The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con-
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings aversion Of society, sef-distrust, love
of solitude, etc, are most of the evils produced.
All persons who afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on DR..
Young, and be at once restored to perfect health.
Let no false delicacy prevent you, but apply i'm
mediately, and save yourself from the dreadful
and awful consequence of this terrible malady.

p "Some years ago, when there was a good
deal said by Baptists about the proprety of
always using the word 'immerse' instead Of
'baptise,' one of the brethren, a deacon, we
believe, but who sometimes did a little in
the preaching line, told the writer that they
had come TO the conclusion in their meetings,
that they 'oughtn't to use any big aoords that
ayasnt used IN Scripter,' and that some of
them objected to the word immerse,' rs it
wasn't Scripter, and appealing to me, asked
if it wasn't found in the Bible. My reply
was that was not sure, but thought not.
well, said he, 4 kin tell you it is. Jest
look in deuteronomy, twenty-third chapter
and nineteenth verse; looked, and read,
and stood corrected And they shall amerce
him in an hundred shekels of silver" etc.
