Thousands Of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause Of their declining health losing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emaciated having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms OF Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice already described, habit frequently learn
ed from evil companion. or at school, the effects
of which are nightly felt, even when asleep and
if not cured, renders marriage impossible and
destroys both mind and body, should apply i'm
medaLcly.
What pity that young man, the hope OF
his country the pride of his parents, should De
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoyment OF
life by the consequence Of devisting from the
nath of nature, and indulging in pernicious
habits. Such persons must, before comtempls:-
ing. ,,,.c,
Rcaec. that a sound mind and body are tn
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
hnppincss. Indeed, without these the journey
throurh life becomes u weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly dnrkena to the Wow, the mind
becomes shsdowed with despair, and filed with
the melancholy reflection that tne happiness of
another is blghted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and mprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbbed the seeds of
this painful disease it too often happens that an
ill-tlmed sense Of shame dread Of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those Who from edu-
cation and rcspectsbillty can alone befrlend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of the
borrid disease makes their appearance, such as
liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
mains in the head and limbs, dlmness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro-
pressing with frightful rapidity, till 1T last the
nslate OF the mouth or the bones of the nose
iall in, and the victim of this awful disease be-
comes horrid object of commisserstion till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
It is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of ignorant or unskilful PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution,
and incapable oil curing, keep the unhappy suf
t;erer month after month taking their nOxious OF
INJURIOUS compounds and instead OF being re
stored to = renewal OF Life, Vigor and Eappiness
in despai! leaves him with ruined Health to sigh
over Lis calling disappointment.
