This Distressing Afection-which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgenccs.
Young persons Are too apt TO commit excesses
from not being aware of hcdrcadful consequences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands

DIR. JOHNSTON, -.
Member of the Royal College Of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris,' philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the'mos 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,
bashfrlness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement Of mind, were cured
Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uniting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage.
THESE are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz !:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
II II. - 4 -
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritabilfty, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con-
sumption, &c.
MENTALLY--The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded-Loss of Memory, Con-
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timldty, &c., are some of the
evils produced.
THOUSANDS of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their viger, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms ofconsump-
ton.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice INDUCED in when alone, q habit fred uently
learned from evil companions, or at school, The
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos-
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoymeHts OF
life, by the consequence of devating from the
path of nature and indulgipg in a certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST, before contemplating
MARRIAGE go
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connpbial happi-
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes q weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkcns to the view the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filed with the melan-
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent yotary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, II too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone beirend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as liberated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains In the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes ON the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and eNtremities, pro-
crossing with frightful npldlty, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones OF ihe nose fall
In, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes
u horrid object of eommiseration, I'LL death puts
u period TO his dreadful suffering, by sending
him TO " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
Ii Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims 10 this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillml PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use OF that deadly Pol
son, Mercury, Se., destroy the constitution, and
Incapable OF curing, Keep the unhappy sufferer
mouth amer month taking their noxlous or in
iurloas compounds, and Instead Of being restored
10 a renewal Of Life Nigos hha Happiness, la des-
pair leave him with ruined Health 90 Sigh over
his CALLING disappointment
10 such, therefore, DR.. JOHNSTON pledges HIM
self 10 pTeseTye the nlosl lnyolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations IN
the great Hospitals Of Europe, aud the hrst IL
