TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. 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, OF
marriage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy Of
fects produced by early habits of YOUTH viz
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in tn,
Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous

dreaded Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas
to Society, Self-distrust Love of Solitude, Timid

Thousands OF persons of all ages can now judg,
what is the cause of their declining health loosinl
their yigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, anC
emaciated, having singular appearance abou
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by q certain prac
tice INDUCED in when alone-a habit frequent,
learned from evil companions OF at school, tn,
effects of which are nightly felt, even whel
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 hi
country, the pride of his parents, should b.
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments o
life by the consequence of deviating from tn,
path of nature and indulging in certain score
habit Such persons, MUST, before contempla
ting iy
MARRIAGE,
reflect that q sound mind and body are the mos
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes q weary pilgrimage, the prospec
hourly darkens to the view, the mind become
shadowed with despair and filled with the mel
anchoy reflection that the happiness of anothe

When the misguided and imprudent votary 0
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of thi
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de
ters him from applying 10 those, who, from edu
cation and respectability can alone befriend him
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch hi
pecuniary subs keep him trifling montl

obtained, and with despair leave him with ruinet
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, o.

ease, such as Affection of the Head, Thro al
Nose, Skin, etc, progressing with frghtful rapid
