DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of the Back or Limbs, Structures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, 1nvolun-
tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili-
ty, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lungs,
Stomach or Bowels-these terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth--those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song OF syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their mos. brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, &C., impos-
sible.
YOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli-
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or walked to ecstacy the
| living Tyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, Uoss
Of Provocative Power--Impotency), Nervous En-
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner-
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
| speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of DR.. J.
may religiousy conlide in his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely unon his skill as Phv-
''>''' ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impoteucy, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Nigor Restored
This Distressing Anection-whch renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible--is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit eXcesscs
from not being aware of the dreadful consequences
| that may ensuc. Now, who that understands
! the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procrcation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent : Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms TO both
! body and mind arise. The system becomes de-
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
| Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
IrritUbility, Dyspepsia, Palpitaton of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, n Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and
a CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
| Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten-
/ ders who keep them trining month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
| should apply Immediately.
DIR. 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 ife has been spent in the hospitals
| of London, Prs, 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,
bashlulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement of mind, were cured
| Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
! DR.. j. addresses all those who have iniurrd
/ themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mnd uniting
! them for either business, study, society or mar
/ riage.
THESE are some of the sad and melancholy
J 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
cular Power, Paptation of the Heart, Dyspcpsy,
Nervous Irritabity, Derangemcnt Of Digestive
/ Functions, General Debility, symptoms of Con-
| sumption, &c.
MENTAIIY-The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded-Loss of Memory, Con-
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
, Forcbodings, Aversion to Society, Selt-Dlstrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of the
! evils produced.
THOUSANDS of persons OF all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
/ losing their vigur, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
| and emaciated, having singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consunp-
tion.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tce inaulged in when alone, habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or ut school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos-
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
What pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatchcG from all prospects and enjoyments OF
life, by the consequence of dcyiating from the
path of nature and indulgiug in n certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST, before contemplating
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 bighted with own.
= CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and mprudcnt votary OF
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds OF
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
il-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
detcrs him from applying to those who, from
education and respcCtability, can alone befTicnd
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nOCtural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms
blotches on the head, face and eXtremites, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
! horrid object of commscration, till death puts
period TO his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to :" that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
1t is 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 nuXous or in
furious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in dcs
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh ovcl
his CALLING disappointment
To such, therefore, DIR. JOHNSTON pledges him
self to preserve the most lnyioable Secrecy, ant
from his extensive practice and observations il
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first il
this country, viz; England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most Ger
tain, speedy and eiIectual remedy in the worlC
for all diseases of imprudenCe.
