These are some of tho sad and melancholy eff

The fearful effects on the mind are much to be

painful disease it TOO often happens that an i'll

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
