This dreadful disease-which renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse

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 some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known; many troubled with ring

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 indulgences and solita-
ny habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage.
These are some of the sad aud melancholy eff
fects produced by early habits OF youth, viz .
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, P;lins in the
Head nirlness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspcp il, Nervous
Irritability arrangement OF the Digestive Func-
tons, General Debility, symptoms o; Consalni-
ton
The fearful effects on the mind are much TO 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 of their declining health loosng
their yigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated, 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
nossibie 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
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
MARRIAGE
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes a 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 ilnprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has inbibed the seeds of this
painful disease it too often happens that an ILL.,
timed n shame dread of discovery
tiers 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
pecuniary substance, keep him trif1ing 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, Thro at
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
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy in
the world
