What pity that q young man, the h0pe OF
his country, the pride of his parents, should

DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and mprudent votary
Of pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds
| of this painful disease, it too often happens
| that an ll-.imed sense of shame or dread OF
discovery deters him from applying 10 moss cs1
! alone betriend him, delaying TIL the constitu-
| tionM svmutoms of this horrid disease make
| their appesrancc such as liberated soro throat,
diseased nose, nocturnal pains IN the hesd ana
| limbs, dimness of sight, des mess, n9des o.
| the shin bones and arms, botcnes on the hesd,
face and extremitics, progr rcssng with fright
| ful rspidity till at last the palate OF inc NOUN
| or the bones Of the nose iall IN ana tne Victln
| of this awful disease becomes horflu oRlect
| of c0mmiseration till death puts q period TO
his dreadful suffering, by sending him to that
| undiscovered country IRON whence no travel
| er returns" n,u
It is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through fslnIng
into the hands OF ignorant or unskiliul fhE-
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly
Poison Mercury &C. destroy the eGnstv'.On, s"
ferer month after month taking their noxlous
or Injurious compounds, and instead Of being
restored to q renewal of Life, Vigor and Happi-
ness, in despair leave him with ruined Health
to sigh over his CALLING disappointment.
