els-those terrible disorders arising from the Sol

song ofSyrens to the Mariner of Ulysses, blghting
their most brilliant hopes or anticipations, rem
dering marriages, &c. impossible.

Especially who have become the victims OF
Solitude Vice. that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave

Immediately cured and full vigor restored.
This dreadful disease--which renders life mise
rable and marriage impossihle-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

power of procreation is lost sooner by those fall

lAhE PARTICULAR lNO1iOTA
| DR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
! ~ habits which ruin both body and mind, unit
ting them for either business, study, society, OF
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 Dmness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart Dyspepsia, Nervous
| Irritabiity, Derangement of the Digestive Func
tons, General Debility, symptoms OF CoEsRnp
! ton
| The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
| dreaded. Loss Of Memory, Confusion OF Ideas
Depression of Spirits, EVIL Eorebodings, Aversion
| to Society Selfdstrlst Love of Solitude, Timid
| itv, &C., are some of the evils produced.
| Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause of their declining health, loosine
their vigor becoming weak, pale, nervous, alio
emaciated, having a singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consumption
| YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by a 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 whei
possible, and destroys both mind and body
should apply Immediately. 49,
What u pity that young man, the nope q M
country the pride of his parents, should b'
snatched from all prospects and enloyments o
! life by the consequence of deviating from tht
I path of nature and indulging in certain secre
habit Such persons, MUsT before cohteinpiat
ting
reflect that a sound mind and body are the mos
necessary requisites to promote connubldl napl
| ness: indeed without these the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospec
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of anothe
becomes blighted with yonr own.
/ When the misguided and imprudent yotary o
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds OF TN
painful disease, it too often happens that an IL
timed sense of shame or dread OF discovery de
tiers him from applying to those, who, from ecu
cation and respectability can alone oeh1ena nm
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designin
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch hi
pecuniary substance, keep him trifling mont
after month"; or as long as the smallest ice can 2
obtained and with despair leave him with RUNE
health to sigh over his calling disappointment, G
10y the use Of that deadly poison Mercury, haste
the constitutional symptoms of the terrible di
ease such as Affection of the Head, Ihfoa
Nose, Skin, ETC., progressing with frightful rapit
ity till death puts period to his dreadful sufIe
ing by sending him to that undiscovered countr
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DR.. Johnston offers the mo;
certain, speedy, pleasant and efectual remedy
