DIR. JOHNSTON.
Member of the Royal College of Surgery~ot
London, Graduate of one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States and the greater
part Of whose life has been spent IN the hospl-
where, has effected some Of the most astonishing
cures that were ever known; many troubled with
ringing in the head and cars when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushlng. attended
sometimes with arrangement Of mind were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. j. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uRhttlng
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef-
fects produced by the early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head Dmness Of Sight, Loss of muscular Pow
Irritability, Derangemcnt of the Digestive Func-
tions General Debility, Symtoms OF Consump-
ton, &c.
MENTA1LY.-T C fearful effects on the mind
are much To be dreaded. Loss of Memory, Con-
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Fore
bodings, Aversion to Society," Self Distrusl Love
of Solitude, Timdty, &c., are some of the evils
produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge
what is the cause of theirdeclning health, losing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale nervous and
emaciated, having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac
ticc. already described q habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or at school, the effects
of which are nightly felt even when asleep and
if not cured renders MARI rage impossible, and
destroys both mind and body, should apply I'M
medintey.
What pity that a young man, the hope of
his country, the pride Of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyment o.
life bv the consequence bf devsting from the
path of nature and indulging in pernicious
habits Such persons must, before comIeinpiaI-
ing.
Reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites TO promote connublal
happiness. Indeed, without these tie journey
through life becomes q weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkens to the view, the mind
becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that tue happiness OF
another is blghted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary Of
pleasure finds that he has imblbed the seeds OF
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-tmcd sense Of shame or dread of discovery d.
tiers him from applying to those who, from edu-
cation and respectabllity can alone bctrlend MIN,
DELAYING till the constitutional symptoms OF this
horrid disease makes their appearance, such as
liberated sore throat diseased nose nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, dimness OF sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremltles, pro-
pressing with frightful rapidty, till ut last tho
51aate of the mouth or the bones of the nose
iall in, and the victim Of this awful disease be-
comes n horrid object of commsseratlon till
death puts period TO his dreadful suffering by
sending him to that undiscovered country IRON
whence no traveller returns. D,r
Il is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of ignorant or unskit ,hs, dplI pkE
Pn,son Mercury, Sc, destroy the constitution,
and incapable OF curing, keep the unhappy suf.
ferer moi tn after month taking tnelr nqxious or
;ninrous compounds, and instead OF beng re-
stored to renewal of Life, Vigor and Happiness
in despair leaves him with ruined Health to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment.
