DIR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College Of Surgeons, Lor-
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 We're ever known; many troubled with ring

nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement of the mind, were
cured Immediately. .ut-
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. 81 fsF 4
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgences and solita-
ry habits which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage.
These are 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 Dinness Of Sight, Loss OF Muscular Pow
er, 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, Self-distrust, Love of Solitude, Timd
ity, &c, are some OF the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge
what is the cause of their declining health loosng
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emaciated, having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.
.Ea t1i-. YOUNG MEN W
who have injured themselves by certain pr:ic
tice INDUCED in when alone--a habit Frequently
learned from evil companions or at school, the
effests 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 u pity that Young man, the hope Of his
country. tho pride of his parents should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments Of
life by the consequence of deyiating from. the
path Of nature and indulging in n certain secret
habit. such persons, MUST. before contempla-
MARRIAGE,
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darltens 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 imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease it too often happens that an ill
inn cor nf Or dIgCOypry
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands Of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance keep him trifling month
after month, US long as the smallest fee can be
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 Affection of the Head, Throat,
Nose, Skin, etc. progressing with frightfnl rapid
ity till death puts period to his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DIR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and effeetual remedy in
the world.
