This dreadful dsease--which renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
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 sooner 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

DIR. JOHNSTON,
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 of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with 4 arrangement OF the mind were
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 ef-
feels produced by early habits of YOUTH viz.
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
err Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability Derangelnent Of the Digestive Ftnc-
tons, General Debility, symptoms OF Consump-
~ 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 Tinlid
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 a singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by certain prlc-
tce 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 a pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
path Of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
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 darltens 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 imprident 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 or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befIlend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
ssretenders, who, incapable OF curing, hlch his
peeuniary substance, keep him trifling month
after month, as long us 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
tile constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such Affection of the Head, Thro at
Nose Skin etc., progressing with trightfu rapid
iy 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, DIR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and eiiectuai remedy in
