This dreadful disease-which renders life mise

paid by the victims of improper ndulgencies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon.
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
ing in the head and ears when asleep great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness with frequent blusing attended
sometimes with Encouragement of the mind, were
cured Immediately.
DR. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solta-
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 Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
err, Palpitaton of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritabiliy Dern2enent of the Digestive Func-
tons, General Debility symptoms of Corsump-
ton
MENTALLY
The fearful effects the mind are much TO be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits Evil Foreboeiings, Aversion
to Society Selfdistrust Love of Solitude, Timid
ity &c. are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated, having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by 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 when
asleep, and, if not cured, renders marriage ina
possible, and destroys both mind and body
sh ould apply Immediately.
What pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the 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 INDUCING in q certain secret
habit Such persons, MUST, before contcmpia-
ting
MARRIAGE,
reflect that Il sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes q weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darllens 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
titaa1 # Sla or n discovery
ters him from applying to those, who, from edll-
cation and responsibility can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who incapable of curing, filch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifling month
after month"; or as 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, snch us Affection of the Head, Throa
Nose, Skin etc, progressing with frightf9l 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 etteciual remedy in
the world
