London, Graduate Of one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, ana tne greater
part Of whose life has been spent IN the hospi-
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

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J.. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uRftting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage

fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Fore
bodings Aversion to Society, Self Distrust, Love

Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge
what is the cause of their declining health, losing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous ana
emacated, having a singular appearance ABOUT
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prsc-
tice, already described, habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or at school, the enects
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
mediately. ~. l
What a pity that young man, the hope OF
his country, the pride of his parents, should Dc
snatched from all prospects and enjoyment or
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and ndulging IN pernlclous
habits Such persons must before com1enpiss-
ing ,,,Cp
Reflect that sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connublal
hsnnness. Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage the
prospect hourly dsrkens to the view, the nina
becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that tue happiness OF
another is blighted with our own. ,.......
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE 81.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
Measure finds that he has imbibed the seeds o
this nainfl, disease it too often happens that an
ill-tmed sense of shame or dread of discovery dc

deIaving till the constitutional symptoms of this
horrld disease makes their appearance such as
liberated sore throat, diseased nose nocturnal
pains balm in the head and limbs dimness of sight,
deafness nodes on, the shin bones and and arms
pressng with frightful rapidity, till at last the
Salate of the mouth or the bones of the nose
fall in, and the victim of this awful disease be-

It is melancholy fact that thousands PIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unsklal ms ,s1 ipdi rkE

and Ui'' Incapable Of curing keep the unhappy suf

Injurious compounds, and instead Of being re-
