tary Discharges Impoiency, General Debility,

Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of the Heart,

or Giddiness, Diseases Of the Head Throat, Nose

els-those terrible disorders arising from the Sol

practices more fatal to their victims than the
song ofSyrens to the Mariner of Ulysses, blighng
their most brilliant hopes or anticipations, rem
dering marriages. yn Sf ,4p %slS
Especially, who have become the victims of
Solitude Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of Young Men of the most exalted
talent and brilliant intellect who might otherwise
have entranced listening Senates with the thun-
ders of eloquenco, or walked to ecstacy the living
lyree may call with full confidence
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons, or Young Mon contemplating
marriage, being aware of physical weakness, or
ganic debilities, defoTmation SC, speedily cured.
He who places himself under the care of DIR. J.
may religiously confide his honor a
gentleman and confidently rely upon his skill as
ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Immediately cured and full vigor restored
This dreadful disease-which renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims Of improper indulgencies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse
quences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands the subject will pretend to deny that the
power of procreation is lost sooner by those fall
ing into improper habits than by the prudent?
Besides being deprived of tho pleasures of
hpulthV OtispriuV the most serious and dpStrUp-
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise The
system becomes deranged, the physical and men,
tai functions weakened loss of provocative pow
or, nervous irritabity, dyspepsia, palpitation of
the heart, indigestion constitutional debility,
wasting of tho frame, coughs, consumption, de-
cay and death.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten-
ers who keep them trilling month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should
'ii' Dr. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Loi.-
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col
eges 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 Mt sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement of the mind, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and soliia-
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
fccts produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dimpess of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritablity, Derangement of tho digestive Fnnc-
tions, General Debility symptoms of Constenp-
ton
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, 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
what is the of their declining health loosing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated, having q 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 inn
possible, and destroys both mind and body
sh ould apply Immediately
What pity that 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 deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in Il certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting icy
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, The prospect
hourly darlSens 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 imprtldent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbbed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone betriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing fitch his
pecuniary substance keep him tri1iing month
after month, us 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, such as Affection of The Head, Throat
Nose, Skin, ETC., progressing with frightfu 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 effectual remedy In
the world.
