DIR. JOHNSTON,
! Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
Of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
| .hat were ever known many troubled with ring
! ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
| nervousness, being alarmed at sudden soandS,
| bashiulness, with frequent blushiug, attended
sometimes with arrangement of mind, were cured
| Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr.. j. addresses all those who have niurrd
themselves by improper Indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uniting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage.
THESE are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits Of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs. Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness Of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Paptation Of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
! Nervous lrritability, Derangemcnt Of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, symptoms Of Con-
! sumption, &c.
| MENTALLV-The fearful effects on the mind
! are much to be dreaded-Loss of Memory, Con-
| fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
/ Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Sclf-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 yigOr, becoming weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms ofconsump-
/ tion.
YOUNG MEN
! Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
! tice insulged in when alone, a habit frequently
/ learned from evil companions, or at school, the
/ effects of which are nightly felt, even when
| asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos-
| sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
| What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatchcG from all prospects and enjoyments of
]
path Of nature and ndugng in a certain secret
| habit. Such persons MUST, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that n sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubinl happi-
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
| life becomes weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkcns to the view; the mind becomes
shadowcd with despair and filled with the melan-
! choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
a CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and Imprudent vo,ary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds Of
this painful disease, 1t too often happens that an
ill-timed sense OF shame, or dread of discovery,
dcters him from Supplying to those who, from
education and rcspcctability, can alone bcfriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as liberated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and eXtremities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till ut last the
palate Of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
| in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
! horrid object Of commiscraton, till death puts
| II period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
/ no traveller returns"
1t Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillfu PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, and
lhOdpap4c Ol CuIluBs Keep Tue unhappy suueTer
month after month taking their noXious or in
furious compounds, and instead of being restored
to renewal of Life Nigor and Happiness, in des-
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his CALLING disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. JOHNSTON pledges him
self to preserve the most Inyiolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first IN
this country, viz; England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled 10 offer the most GER
tain, speedy and efiectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.
