When the misguided and imprudent yotary OF
pleasure finds he has ilnbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, II too often happens that an i'll

cation and responsibility can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands Of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable Of curing, filch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing month
after month, as long as the smallest fee can 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
