He who places himself under the care OF DIR. j.
may rcligiously confide on his honor as
gentleman and confidently rely upon his skill as
physician.
ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Immediately cured and full vlgor restored.
This dreadful disease-which renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible-s the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses
from not being aware OF the dreadful conse
quences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands the subject will pretend to deny that the
power of procreation is lost sooner by those fall
ing into improper habits than by the prudent?
Besides being deprived of the pleasures of
healthy offspring, the most serious and destruc-
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The
system becomes deranged, the physical and men
tai functions weakened loss of provocative pow

of whose life has been spent in the hospitals of
London, Paris, Philadelphia and elsewhere has

DIR. J. addresses all those who have injured

These are some of the sad and melancholy eff

Thousands of persons OF all ages can now Judge

What a pity that young man, the hope OF his
country, the pride OF his parents, should be
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path Of nature and ndulging in a 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 weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darltens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with tbs 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 ILL.,
timed sense of shame or dread OF discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
| pecuniary substance, keep him tritling month
after month, or as long as the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh his CALLING disappointment, or
by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
the constitutional symptoms OF the terrible dis
ease, such as Affection of the Head, Thro at
| Nose, Skin etc., progressing with frghtful rapid
ity till death puts period TO his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
| from whose bourne no traveller returns.
