DIR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lo.-
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 some of the most astonishing cures
that were 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
cured Immediately.
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
fccts produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head Dinness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
IrTitability, arrangement of the Digestive Func-
tons, General Debility, Symptoms of Consump
MENTALLY.
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded Los o Memory. Confusion Ideas.
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings Aversion
to Society, Self-dstrust Love of Solitude, Timid
ity, &c. are some of the evils produced

what is the of their declining health, loosing
| their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
| emacated, having a singular appearance about
| the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice INDUCED in when alone-a habit frequently
learned from evil companions or at 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
sh ould apply Immediately.
What pity that q young man. the hope of his
country the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deyiatmg from the
path of nature and indulging in Il certain secret
habit Such persons, MUST, before contempa-
| ting
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hap
ness; indeed, without these the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filed 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 i'll
| timed sense of shame dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone bcfriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
| after month, as long as the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh ever his CALLING disappointment, or
| by the use of that deadly poison Mercury hasten
tie 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.
