TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who havo injured
themselves by improper indulgence ana soil
tary habits, which ruin both body and mlnd,
uniting them for either business, study socle-
ty or marriage.
These are some of tho sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits Of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs Pains IN the
Head, Dimness Of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow-
cf+ +ln
vous Irritabity, Derangement of the Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms OF
Consumption, sc.
MENTALLY The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded. Loss OF Memory,
Confusion of Ideas, Depression Of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings Averson to Society, Self Dlstrust,
Love of Solitude, Timdlty, &c, are some OF
the evils produced:
Thousands of persons Of all ages can now
judge hat is the cause ofthcir declining health
losing their vigor, becoming weak pale, ner-
vous and omac!atcd, having singular appear
ance about the eyes, Cough, and Symptoms OF
0'* YOUNG MEN.
Who have injured themselves by 3 Ger
tain practice, indulged in. habit fre
quently learned from evil companions, or at
school, the effects Of which are nightly telt,
marriage impossible, and destroys, both mind
and body. should apply Immediately.
What pity that y young man, the hope OF
his country, lho pride Of his parents, should pc
snatchcd from All prospects and enJoyments OF
life by the consequence OF deVlatlng from lhe
path of nature, and induginS in a certain Sc
crcL habit. Such persons must, before contem-
plating ,c,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubal hap
uine>s. Indeed, without these the Journey
through life becomes y weary pilgrimage; INC
prosp Ct hourly darllcns TO the view, the mind
becomes shaownd with despair and hlled w+h
tho melancholy reflection that the happiness -
another becomes biighted with gor'r own
DISEASES Or IMpRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudcnt votsry
Of pleasure finds that he has mbibed tho seeds
OF this painful disease it too often happens that
IN ill-timcd sense ol shame or dread OF dlscov-
cry dclcrg him from applying to those, |ho'
from education and rc3pectabl'lty' can a,oh9
bclrcnd him, dclnying till the constitutional
symptoms of this hurrid disease mako their ap,
pnarancc such is liberated sore throat diseased

hnnns and arms, blotchcs on the head, face and
eytrcmilies. progressing with frightfui rapidity
till ut last The palate OF the mouth or the bones
Of the nose fall in, and the victim Of this awful
disease becomes horrid object Of commlssera-
tion, till death puts period to his dreadtu sui
fernGs, by sending MN 10 tnat Ohulsco'efe"

1t is L MELANCHOLY FACT that thou
sands fall victims to this terrible disease, owing
to the uns siliulncss of ignorant pretonders, who,

Curry, ruin the constitution and make the
