DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE
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 cdu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befIiend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance keep him trifiing month
after month, or as long 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 Affection OF the Head Throat,
Nose, Skin, etc, progressing with frightful rapid
ity till death puts period to his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
