DIR. JOHNSTON.
Member of the Royal College of Surgery of
London, Graduate of one of tae most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose life has been spent IN the hospl-
tails of London, Paris, Philadelphia and else
where, has effected some of the most astonishing
cures that were ever known; many troubled WIN
ringing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden SOUNDS,
bashfulness, with frequent bushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement OF mind were
cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uniting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage.

Head, Dimness Of Sight, Loss OF muscular row
er, Papitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irrtabity, Derangement OF the Digestive Func-
tions, General Debility, Symtoms OF Consump-
ton, &c. +,
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con-
fusion of Ideas Depression of Spirits, Evil Fore
bodngs, Aversion to Society, Self Distrust Love
of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some OF the evils
produced.
Thousands of persons Of all ages can now judge
what is the cause of their declining health, losing
their vgor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emaciated, having q singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice, already described, a habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or at school, the effects
of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, ana
if not cured, renders marriage impossible, and
destroys both mind and body, should apply i'm
medialely.
What pity that young man, the hope of
his country the pride of his parents, should DC
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoyment OF
life bv the consequence Of deviating from the
path of nature, and induging in pernicous
habits Such persons must before comtemplat-
ing.
Reflect that sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connublal
happiness. Indeed, without these the journey
| through life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the
| prospect hourly darkens to the view. the mind
| becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with
| the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
another is blighted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
| pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
il-tlmed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those who, from edu-
cation and respectabillty, can alone bcfrend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this
horrld disease makes their appearance, such as
| liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
| deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
| blotches on the head, face and extremties, pro-
crossing with frightfu rapidity, till at last the
| palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose
! ial in, and the victim of this awful dsease be-
comes horrid object of commisseration till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease through falling
into the hands of ignorant or unskiIful PRE-
TENDERS. who, by the use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, SC, destroy the constitution,
and incapable Of curing, keep the unhappy suf-
injurious compounds, and instead of being re-
stored to a renewal Of Life, Vigor and Happiness
in despair leaves him with ruined Health to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment.
