were ever known; many troubled with rngnglh
the head and ears whcnnSccp. grcatncrv"usnesS,
being alarmed ut sudden sounds bash1llncSs,

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. j. addresses all those VII" have injured
| themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
| habits which ruin both body and nIInd uniting
them for either business, study, society "r lI'a"-
riage.

Weakness of the Bac X and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power,
Palpitaton of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irrtabty, Dcrangcmcnt of the Digestive Func-

are much To be dreaded. Loss of Memory, Con-
fusion Of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evll Fore
bodings, Aversion to Society, Self Dstrust, Lov"
Of Solitude, Timidity, NC, are some "i tho cvHs
produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge

their vigor, becoming weak pale, nervous and
emacatcd, having singular appearance about

YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
ticc, already dcscribcd Il habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or ut school, the effects
of which arc nightly felt, even when asleep, and
if not cured, renders marriage impossible and
destroys both mind and body, should apply inn
ncdatcly. .. .... ... ,
What 4 pity that n young man, the nope of
his country, the pride Of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects, and enjoyment of
life by the consequence? Ii nGv,'ins from oms
habits. Such persons must, before contemplate
ing
MARRIAGE.
Reflect that Il sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connublal
bappiness, Indeed, without these the Journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkcnS to the view, tn" mlnh
becomes shadowcd with despair, ana hllrd with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
another is blighted with our own.
DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and rr prudent voary o
pleasure finds that he has iInblbed the SEEDS ol
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-time sense of shame dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those who, from Gduch-
ton and rcsprctability, can alone beirrhu nm
delaying till tho constitutions symptoms "i TINS
hGfrd disease rnukes their appearance, such as
pans in thu head and limbs, dmncss of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
bIotches on the head, fac" and extrrmitly<, pro-,
crossing with frightfu! rapidity, ill at last the
pnlnte OF the mouth or the bones OF inc
hose fall in, and the victim of this awful disease
| becomes - horrid object Of cOIuuisscr;"n iIll
death puts period {" his dreadful ,"llrrlng. by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns. ''. ,
1t is II melancholy fact that thousands PIE
victims to this terrible disease, through iaI,ng
into the hands Of ignorant or unsk1iinl radfy rhE
Poison. Mercury, &c, destroy the r9Il'Itutl"n,
and Incapable OF curing, keep the unhappy sur
