DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
| When the misguided and mprudent vo:ary
| Of pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds
| of this painful disease, it too often happens
that an ill-imed sense OF shame or dread OF
| discovery deters him from applying TO those
| VINO, from education and responsibility, can
alone befriend him. delaying till the constitu-
tional symptoms of this horrid disease make
| their appearance, such rs liberated sore throat
diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and
limbs dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on
the shin bones and arms, olotches on the head,
| face and extremiLies, progressing with fright
full rapidty, till at last the palate of the mouth
or the bones of the nose fall n and the victim victim
| of this awful disease becomes horrld object
| Of com miserstion till death puts period to
his dreadful suffering, by sending him to that
undiscovered country IRON whence no travel

It is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
! into the hands of ignorant or unskilful PRE-
TENDERS, who, by tho use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution,
and incapable OF curing, keep tho unhappy suf-
ferer month after month taking their noxious
or injurious compounds, and instead of being
restored to q renewal o! Life, Vigor and Hsppil-
ness, in despair leave hin win ruined Health
