This dreadful disease-which renders life mise

Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge

ancholy reflection that the happiness of another

When the misguided and imprudent yotary Of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an ILL

He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing month
after month, as long the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment or
