This Distressing Affection--which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible-is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit exccsses
from not being aware of the dreadful consequences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreaton is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent Besides

., ID DR.. 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 life has been spent In the hospitals
Of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known many troubled with ring
ing IN the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent bushing, attended
with arrangement Of mind, were cured
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Il
DR.. j. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uniting
hem for either business, study, society or mar
rage.
TnBsE 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
,ular Power, Papitation Of the Heart, Dyspcpsy,
Nervous 1rritabiity, Derangemcnt of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con-

MENTAILY-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, Sef-Distrnst,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &C., are some of the
evils produced. s
THOUSANDS of persons of all ages can now
Judge what is the cause Of their declining health,
osing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump-
Iion. ..... ..,I
YOUNG MEN , !
Who have injured themselves by q certain prac-
lice inaulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud If not cured, renders marriage mpos-
'ible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately. ' q --' .r. +
What q pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulgng in q certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST, before contemplating
..9 MARRIAGE, ..
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi-
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkcns to the view the mind becomes
shadowed 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 votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
This painful disease, 1t too often happens that an
ll-timed sense of shame, or dread Of discovery, /
teters him from applying to those who, from.
education and respectability, can alone befrend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF
his horrd disease make their appearance, such
as liberated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
nodes on the shin bones and arms,
Dlotches on the head, face and extremities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
n, and the victim OF this awful disease becomes
A horrid object Of commiseration, till death puts
R period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns.' 30 aI
II is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
INTO the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use Of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &C., destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
furious compounds, and instead OF being restored
10 renewal of Life Vigor 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 ir
this country, viz; England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most GER
tain, speedy and effectual remedy In the world
for all diseases Of imprudence.
