practices more fatal TO their victims than the
song of Syrens to the Mariner of Ulysses blghtinR
their most brilliant hopes or anticipations, rem
dering marriages, SC. impossible.
YOUNG MEN,
Especially, who have become the victims of
Solitude Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to untimely grave
thousands of Young Men OF the most exalted
have entranced listening Senates with the thun-
ders of eloquence, or walked to ecstacy the living
lyree may call with full confidence
Married Persons, or Young Men contemplating
marriage, being aware of physical weakness, or
ganic debilities, reformation, &C., speedily cured
He who places himself under the care OF DIR. j.
may religiously confide on his honor as
gentleman and confidently rely upon his skill as
ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Immediately cured and full v1gor restored.
This dreadful dsease--which renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgeneies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses
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 the pleasures Of
healthy offspring, the most serious and destruc-
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The
system becomes deranged, the physical and men,
tai functions weakened, loss of provocative pow
er, nervous rTtability, dyspepsia, palpitatlon OF
the heart indigestion, constitutional debility, Il
wasting of the frame, coughs, consumption, de-
cay and death. -
Persons ruined in health by uneained preten-
ers who keep them triiling month after month";
taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should
apply Immediately.
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Loi-
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 of the most astonishing cures
that We're ever known; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement OF the mind, were
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
~ 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 Pairitution OF the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous.
| Irritability, Derangement of the Digestive Func-
! tons, General Debility, symptoms oil ''ohsnml'-
MENTALLY.
The fearful effects the mind are much 10 be
dreaded Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion
| to Society Self-distrust Love of Solitude, Timd
| ity &C. are some of the evils produced.
| Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause of their declining health, loosng
| their yigor, becoming weak, pale nervous, and
emaciated, having a singular appearance about
| the ewes 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 ut school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage I'M
possible, and destroys both mind and body
What a pity that young man, the hope Of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enloyments Of
life by the consequence of deyiating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla
| ting
! reflect that sound mind and body are the mos
| necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
| life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect
| hourly darlkens 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 o
| pleasure finds he has iinbibed the seeds of thi
painful disease, it too often happens that an III
timed sense of shame OF dread of discovery de
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edri
cation and responsibility, can alone betriend him
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch hi
pecuniary substance, keep him trifing monti
after month, as long us the smallest fee can b.
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruine'
health to sigh over his calling disappointment, o
by the use Of that deadly poison Mercury, hastei
the constitutional symptoms OF the terrible dis
ease, such Affection of the Head, Thro a
Nose Skin, ETC., progressing with frightful rapid
ity till death puts period To his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered countr.
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DR.. Johnston offers the mos
certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy i
the world.
