Immediately cured and full ylgor restored
This dreadful disease--which renders life mise
rabe and marriage impossible-is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse
quences that may ensue. Now who that under
stands the subject will pretend to deny that the
power of procreation is lost sooner by those fall
ing into improper habits than by the prudent?
Besides being deprived of the pleasures of
healthy offspring the most serious and destruc-
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The
system becomes deranged the physical and men

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons Lon
don graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges 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 some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known; many troubled with ring

nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
~ habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage ls
These arc some of the sad and melancholy eff
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability, arrangement 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, Selfdistrust, Love of Solitude Tinlld-
ity &c. are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the of their declining health, oosng
their yigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated, having 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 inn
possible, and destroys both mind and body
should apply Immediately.
What a pity that young man, the hope OF his
country the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and ndulging in a certain secret
naDlt. Sucn persons, MUST, before cOHteinpi;l-
ting
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapr
ness indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darlSens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness OF another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent yotary. of
pleasure finds he has inbibed the seeds OF this
,f.,1 ha
timed sense of shame dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befrend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifing month
after month, or as long as the smallest fee can e
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, or
by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
the constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such as Affection OF the Head Throat,
Nose, Skn ETC., progressing with frightful rapid
ity till death puts period to his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and eftectual remedy in
the world

There are SO many Paltry, Designing and
Worthless imposters advertising themselves as
Physicians, trifling with and running the health
of all who unfortunately fall into their power,
that DR.. Johnston deems it necessary to say es-
pecally to those unacquainted with his reputa-
tion that his Credentials or Diplomas always
hang in his office.
