When misguided and imprudent yotary o

thisoaiu .ul disease, it too often happens that an

ters him from applying to those VINO, from educa-
tion and responsibility, can alone oetriend him,
DELAYING till the conStlLuLlouhi BY pIohis VI tuls
borrid disease makes their appearance, such as
liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
ns;ns in the head and limbs, dimnsss of sight,
deafness, d nodes on the shin bones and arms,
hIotches on the head, face and extremities, pro-
gressing with frightful rapidity, till st last tho
palate of the mouth or the bones Of the
nose fall in and the victim OF this awful disease
becomes q horrid object of commisseration till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
It is melancholy fact that thousands LIE RlE
victims to this terrible disease, through talIing

TENDERS, tTtEH ID .wbo By the use Of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution,
