practices more fatal to their victims than the

their most brilliant hopes or anticipations,
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 untfmely grave

Member OF the Royal College of Surgeons, Loi-
don, graduate from 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

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
| DR. j. addresses ali those who have injured
|
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, Dinness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
err Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia Nervous
Irritabiiity arrangement of the Digestive Func-
tons, General Debility, symptoms of Consump-
| tion
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, Self-distrust, 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
| their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated having 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 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 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 certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
MARRIAGE,
| reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites TO promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darlens TO the view the mind becomes
! Swallowed with despair and filed with the mel
| ancholy reflection that the happiness Of another
becomes bghted with yonr 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 i'll
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
after month, or 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 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 him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DR.. Johnston offers the most
certain speedy, pleasant and e1eetual remedy in
the world.
