els-those terrible disorders arising from the Sol

Solitude Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untime1y grave

This dreadful disease-whch renders life mise

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon

of whose life has been spent In the hospitals of
London, Paris Philadelphia and elsewhere, has

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solta-
~ habits, which ruin both body and mind, unit
ting them for either business, study society, or
marriage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy eff
feets produced by early habits of youth, viz ::
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dilnness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitaton of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous

| dreaded Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion
to Society Self-distrst Love of Solitude, Tilnid-

/ 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 inn
possible, and destroys both mind ana body
What pity that II 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 indulging in a certain secre
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla

reflect that sound mind and body are the mos
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi
ness indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage the prospec
hourly darlSens to the view the mind become.
Swallowed with despair and filled with. the mel
anchoy reflection that the happiness OF another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent votary o.
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
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch hi
pecuniary substance, keep him trif1ing montl
after month"; as long as the smallest fee can b.
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruine'
health to sigh over his calling disappointment, 0
