Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lor-
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col

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

nervouess, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulnss, with frequent blushng, attended
sometimes with derangem ent OF the mind, We're

DIR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper ntulgencies and solita-
ry habit which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business study, society, or
marriage

fects produced by early habits of youth, viz
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Hea d. Dirnness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia Nervous
,, 1rritability, Derangement OF the Digestive Func-

what is the cause of their declining health, oosng
their ygor becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emaciated, having a singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption.

What a pity that young man, the hope of his

snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deviatng from the
path Of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-

} MARRIAGE,
reflect that sound mind and body are the mos I
necessary requisites to promote connubial hap
ness indeed, without these, the journey through
8 life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect
t hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with tho mel
8 ancholy reflection That the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own.
