Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lob
don graduate from one of the most eminent Col
Ieges in the United States, and the greater part
of whose life has been spent in the hospitals OF
London, Paris, Philadelphia and elsewhere has
effected of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blusling, attended
sometimes with q arrangement of the mind, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. EE
DR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
ry habits, which ruin both body and mind uniit-
Ting them for either business, study, society, OF
marriage
These are some of the sad and melancholy eff
feets produced by early habits OF youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs Pains in the
Head Diinness of Sight, Loss OF Muscular Pow
or, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability, Derangement of the Digestive Func-
tons General Debility, symptoms of Consump-
ton.
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion OF Ideas,
Depression of Spirits Evil Forebodings, Aversion
to Society Sef-distrust, Love of Solitude, Timid
| ity &c. are some of the evils produced.
| Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the of their declining health loosiug
| their vigor, becoming weak, PALE nervous, and
emacated, having u singular appearance about
| the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consumption
YOUNG MEN
| who have injured themselves by certain prac-
| tice INDUCED in when alone--a habit frequently
/ learned from evil companions or at school, the
| effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and, if not cured renders marriage i'm
| possible, and destroys both mind and body
sh ould apply Immediately.
What pity that u young man, the hope Of his
\ country, the pride OF his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enloyments OF
| life by the consequence OF deviatins from the
path Of nature and indulging in certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST before contempla-
! ting
reflect that q sound mind and body are the most
| necessary requisites TO promote connubal hap-
ness indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
\ hourly darkens to the view the mind becomes
| Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that tile happiness of another
| becomes blighted with your own ....-.
| When the misguided and inprudent votary OF
pleasure finds he has inbibed the seeds OF this
| painful disease it too often happens that an ill
| timed sense of shame or dread OF discovery de-
tiers him from applying TO those, who, from edu-
cation and respectability can alone bef1iend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable OF curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trfiing month
after month, as long as the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, OF

the constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
, ease, such as Affection Of the Head, Throat,
Nose, Skin, etc. progressing with frigntfni rapid
