- DIR. JOHNSTON,
Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon-
don, graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges in the United States, and the greater part
of whose life has been spent in the hospitals Of
London, Paris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has
effected some of the most astonishing
that were ever known many troubled will ring
ing in the head and years when asleep, great
nervouess, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulnss, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement OF the mind, Were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgencies and solita-
nv habit, which ruin both body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business, study, society, or
marriage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy eff.
fects produced by early habits of YOUTH viz
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Hea d. Dimness of Sight, Loss Of Muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritabiiity, Derangementof the Digestive Fmc-
tons, General Debility, symptoms of Consunp-
MENTALLY.
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas,
Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion
to Society, Self-distrust, Love of Solitude Timid.
ity &c. are some OF the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause of their declining health loosing
their vigor becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaciated, having a singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by a certain prac-
tce INDUCED in when alone--a habit frequently
learned from evil companions at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage im-
possible, and destroys both mind and body
should apply Immediately. 49,
What a pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents should be
snatched from all prospects and enioyments of
life by the consequence of deyiating from the
path of nature and INDUCING in a certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST, before contempla-
| ting
MARRIAGE,
| reflect that sound mind and body are the mos
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 filed with the mel
| ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes blghted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent votay of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease it too often happens that an i'll
timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility can alone befTiend him.
He falls into the hands OF ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
peeuniary substance, keep him trifling 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 frightful rapid
ity till death puts period TO his dreadful suffer
ing by sending him to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller returns

certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy i'll
