Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon.
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr.. ]; addresses all those who have injured
ry habit which ruin both body and mind, unfit

YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice INDUCED in when alone-a habit frequently
learned from evil companions or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when

What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deyating from the
path of nature and INDUCING in certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempla-
ting
MARRIAGE,
reflect that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial hap
ness; indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darlzens to the view the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filed with tho mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent yotasy Of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, 1t too often happens that an ILL.,
timed sense of shame dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trif1ing 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 frishtful rapid
ty TILL death puts period TO his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
