DIR. JOHNSTON.
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, LoE-
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

nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement of the mind, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita- /
ry habits which rain both body and mind unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage.

Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head Dimness of Sight Loss of Muscular Pow
lrritability, arrangement of the Digestive Func-
tons, 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 Forcbodings, Aversion
to Society, Selfdstrust, Love of Solitude, Timd

emaciated, having singular appearance about |
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.

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 |
life by the consequence of devinting from the |
path of nature and INDUCING in certain secret

necessary requisites to promote connubal hapi-

hadowed with despair and filed with the mel
lncholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with yonr own.
When the misguided and imprudent votary Of

painful disease, it too often happens that an ILL
