DIR. JOHNSTON,
members OF the Royal College of Surgeons, Lois
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
that Were ever known many troubled with 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 We're
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Or. j: addresses all those who have injured
ry 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
tects produced by carly habits of youth viz
weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Hea d, DiInness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow
er, Pdlpitdtlon OF the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
lrritabiity, Derargement of the Digestive Func-
lions, General Debility, symptoms of Consurnp
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, Seltdistrust, Love of Solitude, Timd-
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 oosing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous, and
emaclated, having a singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption
YOUNG MEN ..t
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, ana, if not cured, renders marriage i'm
possible and destroys both mind and body

What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should bs

life by the corss9 Gance of deyating from the
path of nature ana na21lging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST, before ccr tsrg NJ 4

necessary requisites TO promote connubial hap

life becomes weary pilgrimage, the prospscs
hourly darlIens to the view, the mind becomes
shadoWed with despair and filled with the mel.
ancholy reflection that the happiness of another
becomes biighted with your own.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure nnds 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-.
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and probability, cen alone befriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pTetenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him tritiing month

obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his calling disappointment or
