DIR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College OF Surgeons Lois
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, ha,
effected some Of the most astonishing cures

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. ], addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
ny 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, Dmness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, P;ilpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia Nervous
Iriitabiity, arrangement of the Digestive Func-

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, Timid

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 i'm
possible, and destroys both mind and body

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 deviating from the
path Of nature and INDUCING in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUsT before contempla-
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes q weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens TO the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filed with the mel
ancholy reelection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with Your own.
When the misguided and imprudeift 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-
ters him from applying to-those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befrlend him
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing 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, Oh
by the use of thai 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.
To such, therefore, DIR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy In
the world.
