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-
ters him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.

pretenderS, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifling 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 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 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
