N TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
DR.. J.. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
ry habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfit

What q 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-

4 MARRIAGE
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
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 dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility can alone befIiend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him triiing month
after month or rs long 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 Affection of the Head, Throat,
Nose, Skin etc, progressing with frighifal 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.
