necessary requisites to promote corf1ubial hapi-

life becomes a weary pilgrimage the prospect

Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel

becomes blighted with your own. Il .+.
When the misguided and imprudent votary OF
pleasure finds he has mbibed 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 responsibility can alone bef1iend him.
He falls into the hands Of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifling month
after month, or as long 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 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 effectual remedy in
the world. ..##.N
