TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
DR.. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
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, Dmness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous

necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
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 vOtary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an ill
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him triffing month
after month"; or as long 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, Skim etc., progressing with frightful rapid
ity till death puts period to his dreadful suffer-
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
