DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
Wheu e misguided and ir.2rudent votary OF

this D iii I'll disease, it too often happens that
ill-time5 cnse of shame or dread Of discovery de-
tiers him fromapplylng to those who, from educa-

delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF this
hGfrid disease makes their appearance such as
liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, dimness Of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremties, pro-
crossing with frightiu rapidity, till at last the
Hulate of the mouth or the bones of the
becomes a horrd object of commisscration till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns
1t is melancholy fact that thousands d.
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands Of ignorant or unsklliul Pre-
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution,
and incapable oil curing, keep the unhappy sui
ferer month after month taking their noxlous

stored to renewal of Life VigoraHd Happiness
in despair leave him with ruined Health to sigh
over his calling disappointment
