DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votsry
Of pleasure finds that he has mbibed the seeds
Of this painful disease, it too often happens
that m il-.inod sense Of shame or dread OF
discovery doters him from applying to those
whc, from education and responsibility, can
alone Lorriond him, delaying till tho constitu-
tional symptoms Of this horrd disease mako
their appearance, such rs liberated sore throat,
diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and
limbs, dimness of sight, des fness nodes o.,
the shin bones and arms blotches on the head,
face and eXtremities, progr ossing with fright
full rapidly, till at last the palate of tho mouth
or tho bones of the nose fall in and the victim
Of this awful disease becomes horrid object
of commiseration till death puts q period to
his dreadful suffering, by sending him to that
undiscovered country IRON whence no travel
Ter relurns."

victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands Of ignorant or unskllful PKE-
TEN DEES, who, by the use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &C., destroy the constitution,
and incapable, OF curing. keep the unhappy sui
or injurious compounds, and instead of being
restored to renewal of Life, Vigor and Hsppi-
ness, in despair leave him with ruined Health
to sigh over his CALLING disappointment.
To such, therefore, DR.. johnson pledges him.

most Certain, Speedy and Efectusl Remedy in
the World for all Diseases Of Imprudence.
