ORGANIC WEAKNESS.

This dreadful disease-whch renders life mise
rabe and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgencies
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse
quences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands the subject will pretend TO deny that the
power OF procreation is lost sooner by those fall
ing into improper habits than by the prudent?
Besides being deprived of the pleasures of
healthy offspring the most serious and destruc-
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise The

DIR. JOHNSTON.
Member OF the Royal College of Surgeons, Loi.-
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
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing attended
sometimes with arrangement of the mind, were
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR. j. addresses all those who have injured
by improper indulgences and solita-
ry habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
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 Dinlness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
en-, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
lrritablity, Derangement of the Digestive F'unc-
lions 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 Forebodpgs, Aversion
TO Society," Self-distrust, Love of Solitude, Timid
ity, &C., are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause OF their declining health loosing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
having n singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by O certain prac-
tice INDUCED in when alone-a habit frequently
learned from evil companions or ut school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and il not cured, renders marriage inn
possible, and destroys both mind and body
should apply Immediately
what q pity that q 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 certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
reflect that u sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubal hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darzens to the view, the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reelection that the happiness OF another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent 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-
n nv o frpp, adr,
cation and responsibility, can alone befrend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretendels, who, incapable OF curing, fitch his |
peeunialy substance, keep him trifing month |
after month, as long the smallest fee can be
and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, or
BY the use OF that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
he constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such as Affection OF the Head, Throat, |
Nose, Skin, ETC., progressing with frightful rapid
ty till death puts period to his dreadful suffer-
ng by sending him 10 that undiscovered country |
rom whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DIR. Johnston oilers the most
,he world.
