This dreadful disease-whch renders life mise

paid by the victims of Improper indllgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses

DIR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lob
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col
lages In the United States, aud the greater part
OF whose life has been spent in tue 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
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. J addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgeneies and solita-
ry 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 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- Palpitaticn of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Iriitahiliiy, Derangement 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 ldeas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, 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 yigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciaed, having a singular appearance about
the eyes cough and symptoms OF consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by n certain prlc-
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 a pity that a Young man, the hope of his
country the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from al prospects and enloyments of
life by the consequence of deyiating from the
path of nature and indulging in q certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
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 darhens 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 imprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of tllis
painful disease, it too often happens that an ILL
timed sense of shame or dread OF discovery de-
ters him from applying to those, who, from cdii-
cation and responsibility, can alone bctriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who incapable of curing, fiieh his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing 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 rs Affection Of the Head, Thro at
Nose, Skin etc, progressing with frightfu1 rapid
ty ill death puts period TO his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him 70 that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DIR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy IN

sibiity is sufficient guarantee to the afflicted
