r- ~ YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-

hO,t
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviatng from the
path of nature and indulging in a 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 hlled with the melan-
choly reflection, that the happiness Of another
becomes blighted with our own. -
a CERTAIN DISEASE, 4
When the misguided and imprudent votary OF
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds Of
this painful disease, 1t too often happens that an
il-timed sense Of shane, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respcctabilty, can alone befrienG
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
ms 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 extremities, pro-
crossing with frghtful 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
N horrid object Of commiseration, till death puts
u period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
II Is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
NictiWs 10 tnis tcIIiOle uiseuse, through IulllnS
into the hands Of ignorant or unskilful PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &C., destroy the constitution, aud
incapable Of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or In
furious compounds, aud instead of being restored
to u renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, 10 des-
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his calling disappointment
To SUCH therefore, Or. JOHNSTON pledges him
self to preserve the most lnvolable Secrecy, aud
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first IN
this country, viz; England, France, Philadelphia
aud elsewhere, is enabled to olfer the most GER
tain, speedy and etfectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.
