| Members Of the Royal College of Surgeons, Loh-
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

nervouess, being alarmed at sudden sounds,

sometimes with derangem emit OF the mind, were
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
DR.. J. addresses all those who have injured
| themselves by improper indugenees and solta-
ny 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 ef-
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
or, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
IrrilabiIity, DeTangernent OF the Digestive F,ne'
MENTALLY.
The fearful effects on the mind are much to be
dreaded; Loss Of Memory, Confusion Of ldess,
to Society, Selfdstrust, Lsve of Solitude, Timid-
ity, &C., are some Of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons Of all ages now Judge
what is the cause of their declining health, loosing
their vigor, becoming weak pale, nervous, and
emacated, having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough ~" 9o yyMP'0 mTG Ct consumption
who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice INDUCED in when alone--a habit frequently
Learned from evil companions or at school, the
effects OF which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and, if not cured, renders marriage i'm
possible, ana destroys both mind and body
sh ould apply Immediately.
What pity that young man. the hope OF his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
s;natched from all prospects and enioyments OF
life by the ,oi4se. ssnce of deyiating from the
path of nature ana iGAaigng in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempt h
ting .....
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 darlfens to the view, the mind becomes
Swallowed with despair and filed with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes bGghted with yeur own.
When the misguided and Inprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has hmbibed 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 edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone sefriend him.
He falls into the hands Of ignorant and designing
pTetenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing month
after month"; or as long us 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
sthe constitutional symptoms of the terrible dis
ease, such as Affection OF the Head, Throat
Nose, Skin, etc., progressing with frightfu rapid
ty ill death puts period 10 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 eifectual remedy IN
! the world. ...... ..-..s-
