DIR JOHNSTON
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
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
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies 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 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
Ell, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia Nervous
Irritability Derangement of the digestive Func-
tions, General Debility, symptoms of Consnmp
ton. M i,s
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodngs, Aversion
to Society, Selfdistrust, Love of Solitude, Timid
ity, &C., are some of the evils produced
Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge
what is the of their declining health, loosing
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
possible, and destroys both mind and body,

What pity that 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 deviating from. the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-

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 darl1ens 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 imprudent yotary 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, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing month
after month"; or rs 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 rs Affection OF the Head, Throat,
Nose Skin, ETC., progressing with frightful rapid
ity till death puts period to his dreadful suffer
ing by sending lhim to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
