This dreadful disease-which renders life mise

paid by the victims of improper indulgencies.
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses

DIR, JOHNSTON,
Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lolr
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
ing in the head and years when asleep, grea,
nervouess, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashtulnss, with frequent b%lushing, attended
sometimes with = arrangement of the mind, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and soiita.

ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy eff
fects produced by early habits of youth viz
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in The
IIea d, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation Of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous

ity, SC, are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge
what is the cause of their declining health, loosing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emHciated, having u singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms Of consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by q certain prac.
tice indulged in when alone-a habit frequently
learned from evil companions or at school,, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and, if not cured, renders marriage I'M
possible, and destroys both mind and body
should apply Immediately.
What Il pity that a young man, the hope OF his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoymentso of
life by the conS04 .ence of deyiating from the
path Il of nature ana ha1ulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempt a
ting
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote comubial hapi-
ness; indeed, without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prosper
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and mprudent yotary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, il too often happens that an ill
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from cdu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befrierd him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable OF curing, Glch his
pecuniary substance, keep him tritiing 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 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
Nose, Skin, etc, progressing with frightful rapid
ity till death puts Il period 10 his dreadful suffer-
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
To such, therefore, DR.. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and %ettectual remedy in
the world.
