DIR JOHNSTON,
| Members of the Royal College of Surgeons LoH-
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges in the United States, and the greater part
of whose life has been spent in the hospitals of
London, Paris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has
effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known; many troubled with ring

Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge

What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enioyments of
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST before contempla-

reflect that q sound mind and body are the mos
necessary requisites to promote comubial hap
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darlzens TO the view the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with tho mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blghted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an ILL
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and respectability can alone bcfriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifing month
after month"; or as long as the smallest fee can be
obtained and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, OF
by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
the constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such as Affection of the Head, Throat

the world
