This dreadful dsease-whch renders life mise
rable and marriage impossible-is the penalty

DIR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Loi-
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges in 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

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
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such PERSONS MUST, before contempla-

necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-

Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and mprudent yotary of

painful disease it too often happens that an ill
timed sense of shame dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone beiriend him.

pretenders, who incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trfing month

obtained and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, or
by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
the constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such rs Affection of the Head, Throat,
Nose, Skin etc, progressing with frightful rapid
