DISEASE OF 1MPRUDENCE.
Wheu misguided and imprudent Votary OF
nleasuri nds that he has lmblbed the seeds OF
thhisosu .u disease, it too often happens that an
;lI-times ense Of shame or dread OF discovery de-
tors him from applying to those who, from educa-
tion and responsibility, can alone befriend him,
delaying til( the constitutional symptoms OF this
horrfd disease makes their appearance, such as
nIcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
nuns in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
5esfness nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extrernities, pro-
crossing with frighttul rapldity, till at last the
mn
hose fall in. and the victim Of this awful disease
becomes @ horrid object of commisseration till
death puts q period to his dresdtul suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
tits 4 melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of ignorant or unskllful PKE-
TENDERS, who, by the use Of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &c, destroy, the constitution
ferer month after month taking their noxious
INJURIOUS compounds and instead OF being re
stored to 8 renewal of Life, Vigorand Happlness
in desnair leave him with ruined Health to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment
