This dreadful dsease-whieh renders life mise

paid by the victims of improper indulgencies
Young persons too apt to commit excuses

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulsencies 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 ef-
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
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability, arrangement of the Digestive Func-
tons, General Debility, symptoms of Consump-

MENTALLY.
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be |
dreaded Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, |
nArn ,..Ss
to Society, Selfdstrust, 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, oosng
their vgor, becoming weak pale, nervous and |
e;naciated, having a singular appearance about |
tbs eyes, cough and symptoms Of consumption
who have injured themselves by certain prac- |
tice indnsged in when alone-a habit frequently |
learned faori evil companions or at school, the
effects Of which are nightly felt, even when |
asleep, and, if not cnrdd, renders marriage i'm |
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 1
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of /
path Of nature and indulging in certain secret |
habit. Such persons, MusT, before contempla- |
ting
reflect that q sound mind and body the most |
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the Journey through |
hourly darkens 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 mprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has nbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an ILL
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuuiary substance, keep him triiling month
after month"; 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, such as Affection OF the Head, Throat,
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, DR.. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and eftectual remedy in
the world.
