DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
!. When misguided and ir prudent votary OF
plcasurI ads that he has imblbed the seeds OF
this s3 .i III disease, it too often happens that an
ill-tme5 ense Of shame or dread OF discovery de-
tcrs him from applying to those who, from educa-
tion and responsibility can alone befriend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this
horrid disease makes their appearance, such as
liberated sore throat diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in tn. head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
bIotches on the head, face and e1tEenties, pro-
crossing with frightiul rapidity, till at last the
Ialate of the mouth or the bones OF the
nose fall in, and tho victim OF this awful disease
becomes a horrid object of commiSseration till
death es puts period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
1t is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
into the hands of ignorant or unskiItul PRE-
TENDERS, who, BY the use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &C., destroy the constitution
and incapable Of curing, keep the unhappy suf'
ferer month after month taking their noxlous
sired N a renewal OF Life, Vigorand Happiness
in despair leave him with ruined Health to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment.
