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

What pity that q young man, the hope Of his

Swallowed with despair and filed with the mel

pleasure finds he has ilnbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it loo often happens that an i'll
timed sense OF shame or dread OF discovery de
ters him from applying TO those, who from edu-
cation and respectability can alone befIiend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable OF curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him triiling month
after month"; or as long as the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, or
