This dreadful disease-which renders life mise

paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.
Young persons are too apt TO commit excuses

power of precreaton is lost sooner by those fall

Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the of their declining health, loosng
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated, having a singular appearance about

learned from evil companions or at school, the

What a pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enIoyments or
life by the consequence of deyiating from the
path of nature and INDUCING in certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
reflect that sound mind and body are. the mos
, necessary requisites to promote connubial hapi-
ness indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes

ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and iInprudent vetary OF
| pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds OF this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread OF discovery de-
ters him from applying to those, who, from edu.

He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
: pretenders who, incapable OF curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance keep hun trifiing month
after month or as long as the smallest fee 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
