themselves by improper indulgence ana soH-
tary habits, which ruin both body ana mlnd,

| Weakness Of the Back and Limbs, Pans n the
Head, Dimncss Of Sight, Loss Of N uscu ar row
er, Palpitation Of the Heart, DyspepsIa' Nor

Who have injured themselves by. 3 cer

ouently learned from evil companions, or st

marriage impossible, and destroys both mind
and body should apply immediately;
What pity that a young man, the nope OF
his country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enJoymenIs OF
life by the consequence of devisting from tho
path OF nature, and indulging in 8 certain Sc
cret habit. Such persons must, before contem-
plating .c
MARRIAGE,
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connuOial nap
piness. Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage; the
prospe ct hourly darkens to the view, the mind
becomes shsdowcd with despair and filled with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness g.
another becomes blighted with your own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent, votary
Of pleasure finds that he has imblbed the seeds
of this painful disease it too often happens that
an ill-timed sense Of shame or dread of discov-
cry detcrs him from applying to those, who,
from education and responsibility, can alone
befriend him, delaying till the c?nstltutlonal
SYMPTOMS of this horrid disease make their ap,,
pearance such as liberated sore throat diseased
nose, nocturnal pains il the head and limbs
dimness Of sight, Deafness nodes on the shln,
bones and arms, blotches on the head face ana
extremities, progressing with tr!ghtiulL rapldlty
till at last the palate of the mouth or the DoneS
of the nose fall in, and the victim of this awful
disease becomes y horrd object of commissera-
ton, till death puts period to his dreadful suf
fcrings, BY sending him to that Undiscovered
Country from whence no traveller returns.'
1t is Il MELANCHOLY FACT that thou
to the unskiltulnass Of ignorant pretenders, WAC,
by the use Of that DEADLY POISON, Ny r.
GURY, ruin the constitution and make the
residue Of life miserable.
