DR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and soliia-
nv habit, which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society or
marriage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef-
fects produced by early habits of youth viz:
Hea d, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
or, Palpitaton of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Iriitabiity, arrangement Of the Digestive Func'
tions, General Debility, symptoms OF ConsuEnp
MENTALLY.
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits Evil Forebodings, Aversion
to Society, Selfdisrust, Love of Solitude, Timid'
ity &C., are some of the evils produced
Thousands of persons Of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause of their declining health, loosnS
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and

learned from evil companions or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt even when

What pity that young man. the hope OF lis
country, the pride OF his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and en5oyments OF
path of nature and bl4 7lging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contsmpi

reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites 10 promote connubial hapi-

hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness Of another

When the misguided and imprudent votary 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-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands Of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable OF curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him triflng month
after month, or as long as the smallest fee can be
obtained and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh his CALLING disappointment, or
| by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
the constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such as Affection of the Head, Throat
