DIR JOHNSTON, se
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
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves BY improper indulgencies and solita-
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 eff
fects produced by early habits of youth viz
Weakness OF the Rack and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dimness of sight, Loss Of Muscular Pow
or Palpitaton of the Heart, Dyspepsia, N.rvoil,
Lritability, arrangement of the Digestive Ftnc-
Haf,ilif.r %
MENTALLY.
The fearful effects on the mind are much 10 be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of IDEAS
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings. Aversion
to Society, Self-distrust, Love of Solitude, Tinid
ity &C., are some OF the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what Is tho cause of their declining health oosng
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emaciated, having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough aYd fygf9 nE q consumption
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 when
asleep, and, IL not cured, renders marriage i'm
possible, and destroys both mind and body
sh ould apply Immediately.
What q pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
path Of nature and INDUCING in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
MARRIAGE,
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
requisites to promote connnbial hapi-
ness indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own
When the misguided and imprudent yotary of
pleasure finds he has imbbed the seeds of this
painful disease it too often happens that an ILL
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and respectability, can alone befriend 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, as long as the smallest fee can be
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 as Affection OF the Head, Thro at
Nose Skin, etc., progressing with frightfu rapid
lily till death puts period 10 his dreadful suffer-
ing by sending him TO that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns
To such, therefore, DR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy In
