This dreadful disease-which renders life mise

paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, LoL-
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
that were ever known; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with = arrangement of the mind, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgeneies and soita-
ny habits, which ruin both body and mind, unflt-
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, Deringement of the Digestive Func-
lions, General Debility, Symptoms OF Consu mp

The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded Loss of Memory, Confusion Of Ideas,
Depression OF Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion
to Society, Self-dist1ust, Love of Solitude, Timid
ity &c. are some OF the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause of their declining health, oosng

emaciated, having a singular appearance about
| the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by a 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 wher
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 indulgng in u certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla

reflect that sound mind and body are the mos
necessary requisites to promote connnblal iap
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
ancholy reflection that the happiness OF another
