els-those terrible disorders arising from the Sol
itary Habits of Youth-those secret and solitary
practices more fatal TO their victims than the
song ofSyrens to the Mariner of Ulysses blighting
their most brilliant hopes or anticipations, rem
dering marriages. SC impossible.
YOUNG MEN,
Especially, who have become the victims OF
Solitude Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untmey grave
talent and brilliant intellect, who might otherwise
have entraneed listening Senates with the thur-
ders of eloquenee, or walked to ecstacy the living
lyree, may call with full confidence.

marriage, being aware of physical weakness, or
ganic debiliies, reformation, &c, speedily cured.

gentleman and confidently rely upon his skill as
ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Immediately cured and fun vlgor restored
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
quences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands the subject will pretend to deny that the
power of procreation is lost by those fall
ing into improper habits than by the prudent ?
Besides being deprived of the pleasures OF
healthy offspring, the most serious and destruc-
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The
system becomes deranged, the physical and men
tai functions weakened, loss of provocative pow
er, nervous irTitabity, dyspepsia, palpitation OF
the heart, indigestion constitutional debility q
wasting of the frame, coughs, consumption, de-
cay and death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten-
ers who keep them trifiing month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should
apply Immediately. IA
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 a arrangement Of the mind, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. 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
fects produced by early habits of youth viz
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dinlness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart Dyspepsia Nervous
Irritability, arrangement of the Digestive Func-
tions General Debility, symptoms of Consump-
ton.
MENTALLY.
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, 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 cause 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

learned from evil companions or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when

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

necessary requisites TO promote connubial hapi

life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect

Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel

When the misguided and imprudent yotary OF
pleasure finds he has imbbed the seeds of this
painful disease, 1t too often happens that an ill
