their most brilliant hopes or anticipations, rem

YOUNG MEN,
Especially, who have become the victims OF

Member of the Royal College Of Surgeons, Loh-
don graduate from one of the most eminent Col

| 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

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. j. addresses all those who have injured
| themselves by improper ndulgencies and soliti-
| ny 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 DiniuCss of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
| err Plantation of The Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
| Irritability, arrangement of the Digestive Func-

The fearful effects on the mind are much TO be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion Of Ideas,

effects of which are nightly felt, even when

What pity that young man, the nope OF ms
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoynents OF
life by the consequence of deyiating from the
path OF nature and intlhlging in II certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contenpi;l-

necessary requisites to promote connuhial hapi-

life becomes q weary pilgrimage, the prospect

Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
aneholy reflection that the happiness OF announcer
