DIR. JOHNSTON,
Members of the Royal College of Surgeons LoIi-
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 cures

These are some of the sad and melancholy eff.

What pity that young man, the hope of his

Swallowed with despair and filled with tho mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another

When the misguided and imprudent votary 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 respectability, can alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
peeuniary substance, keep him trifiing month
after month, or as long as the smallest fee be
obtained, and with despairlea him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, or
by the use OF that deadly poison Mercury, hasten

Nose, Skin, ETC., progressing with frghtful rapid
