DIR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, I4ol
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 ut sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement of the mind, were
cured Immediately. ~
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. ]. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencics and solita-
ry habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage. ff
These are some of the sad and melancholy eff
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
err Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritabilty, arrangement of the Digestive Func-
tons, General Debility symptoms of Consump-
ton
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, Selfdistrust Love of Solitude, Iimid
ity, &C., are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the of their declining health, oosing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated having singular appearance about
the eyes cough and symptoms of consumption. =.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by a 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 I'M
possible, and destroys both mind and body
should apply Immediately.
What pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enloyments OF
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darl1ens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filed with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and imprtdent yotary OF
pleasure finds he has ilnbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edit
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 trifiing month
after month"; rs long as 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.
To such, therefore, DR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and eifectual remedy in
the world
