This dreadful disease-whch renders life mise

don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col

| of whose life has been spent in the hospitals of
London, Paris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, ha+
effected some Of the most astonishing cures

nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds

TAKE Particular NOTICE.
DR., J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and soia
/ 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 eG
fects produced by early habits OF YOUTH viz
| Weakness of the Back and Limbs Pains in the
! Head, Dininess of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
or, Palpitaton of the Heart Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability, arrangement of the Digestive Func-
lions, General Debility, symptoms OF Consuinp-

The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
a. xaI <Nf Name lr1iAn NfI
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodiugs, Aversion
TO Society, Self-distrust, Love of Solitude !Timid
| ity, &C., are some Of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the of their declining health loosing
| their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated, having a singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.
| YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by q certain prac-
! tice indulged 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 i'm
| possible, and destroys both mind and body
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 deviating from the
path of nature and INDUCING in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, nUsr, before contempla-
! ting
reflect that q 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 darsens to the view, the mind becomes
| Swallowed with despair and filled with tbs mel
aneholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent yotary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds Of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying TO those, who from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone bcfriend him
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him tIifling month
after month or as long as the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him vita ruined
health to sigh over his calling disappointment. or
by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten

ease, such as Affection of the Head Thio at
Nose, Skin ETC., progressing with frghtful rapid

from whose bourne no traveller returns.
