This dreadful dsease--whch renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible-is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses

DIR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges i'll the United States and the greater part
OF whose life has been spent in the hospitals of
London, Paris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has
effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement of the mind, were
cured immediately Il
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
DR. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves BY improper ndulgencies and solita-
ry habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy eff
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability, Derangement of the Digestive Func-
tons, General Debility, symptoms of Consump-
ton.
MENTALLY.
,r,,l +l,a
dreaded Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion
to Society Selfdstrlst, Love of Solitude, Tinid-
ity, &C., are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the of their declining health, oosng
their vigor, becoming weak, pale nervous, and
emaciated, having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice INDUCED in when alone-a habit frequently
learned from evil companions or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt even when
asleep, and, if not cured, renders marriage inn
should apply Immediately.
What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deyiating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites 10 promote communal napl-
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 the mel
aneholy reelection that the happiness of another
becomes bIghted with your own
When the misguided and mprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame dread of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those, who from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.
He falls inlO the hands pf and
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his |
pecuniary substance keep him trifling month
after month, or as long as the smallest fee can e
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health 10 sigh over his CALLING disappointment or
by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
the constitutional symptoms OF the terrible dis |
ease, such us Affection of the Head Throat |
Nose, Skin, etc, progressing with frghful rapid
ty till death puts period to his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country |
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, Dr.. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and eifecual remedy In |
the world.
