of whose life has been spent in the hospitals OF

DIR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
ry habits which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, OF
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, Dimness of Sight, loss of Muscular Pow
en- Palpitaton of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability Derangement of the Digestive Func-
tions, General Debility, symptoms OF Consump-

The fearful effects on the mind are much to be

Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion
