DIX. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lou
don, graduate from one OF the most eminent Col
Ieges 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
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed At sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent biushing, attended
sometimes with = arrangement OF the mind, were
cured Immediately
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgences and solita-
ry habits, which ruin both bedy 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 aud Limbs Pains in the
Head Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation Of Che Heart dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritibility, DeT4inGement of the Digestive Func-
tons, Gelplitl Debility, Symptoms of Consump-
MENTALLY
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
al lpd of lt-ip nfT1
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion
to Society, Selfdstrust Love of Solitude, TiInid
ity, SC, are some of The evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages nudge
what is the cause Of their declining health loosing
their ygor 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 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
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage ini-
possible, and destroys both mind and body
sh ould apply immediately.
What pity that young man, the hope Of bis
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enioyments of
life by the consequence of deviatins from the
path of nature and INDUCING in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote eonnubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without tiieSe the Journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and flied with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blghted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent yotary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease it too often happens thlt an i'll
Timed of shame dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone bcfriond him.
He falls into the hands OF ignorant and designing
pretenders, Who incapable of curing, flch his
pecunary substance, keep him trifling month
after month"; or rs long rs 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 us Affection of the Head, Throat
Nose, Skin, etc. progressing with fIightful rapid
ity till death puts period to his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him 10 that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and eftectual remedy in
the world.
Left hand side going from Baltimore street, few
doors from the corner. Fail not TO observe the
name and number
containing a stamp to be used on the reply. Per
sons writing should state age, and send portion
of advertisement describing symptoms.
There are many Paltry, Designing and
Worthless iTnposters advertising themselves as
Physicians triiling with and running the health
of all who unfortunately fail into their power,
that DR. Johnston deems it necessary to say es-
pecaly to those unacquainted with his repntl-
ton, that his Credentials or Diplomas always
hang in his office.
ENDORSEMENT OF THE PRESS.
The many thousands cured ut this institution
within the last eighteen years, and the hume
rous Surgical Operations performed by DR.. John
ston, witnessed by the reporters of The san
and many other papers, notice of which appeared
again and again before the public besides his
standing Us a gentleman of character and respon
sibility, is sufficient guarantee to tho afflicted.
