What a pity that young man. the hope OF n
country, the pride of his parents, should be
life by the eoassa aaace of deviating from the
path of nature and n.Aalging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before ccAteDlPia

reflect that q sound mind and body are the mos t
necessary requisites TO promote connubial hap
ness indeed, without these, the journey through
life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel
aneholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with your own
When the misguided and imprudent yotary OF
pleasure finds he has iInbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread OF discovery de-
ters him from applying to those, who, from euu.
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable Of curing, fitch his

after month, or as long as the smallest Zee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh 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, Sldn etc, progressing with fIightful rapid
ity till death puts period to his dreadful suffer-
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns
To such, therefore, DIR. Johnston offers the most
certain, speedy, pleasant and effectuai remedy In
the world. r .t.--.
