TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr.. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgcncics and soit,l-
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-
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
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritablity, Derangement of the Digestive Func-

MENTALLY
The fearful effects ON the mind are much to DO
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings Aversion
to Society, Selfdsirust, Love of Solitude, Timid
ity, Sc, 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
emaciated, having q singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by d 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

country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments OF

path of nature and indGleing in n certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contenpla-

necessary requisites to promote connubal hapi-
ness indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes q 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 blishted with yoilr own.
When the misguided and imprudent yotary of
pleasure finds he has iinfibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
,I,,p tpf ,aJhn afr
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 trifling month
after month or 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
the constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such as 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.
