Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Loi.-
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

ry habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfit

These are some of the sad and melancholy eff

Head Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
or, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous

path Of nature and indulging In a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-

necessary requisites to promote COMMUNAL hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes q weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens 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 OWL. a lsz.4
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens thai an i'll
timed sense of shame dread of discovery de-
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 trifiing month
after month"; or as long rs 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 rs Affection of the Head Throat,
Nose, Skin etc., progressing with frghtful rapid
