| DR.. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence ana solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uRlttlnY
them for either business, study, society or mar
These arc some of tho sad and melancholy ef-
fncts produced by the early habits Of youth VIZ:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dimness of Sight Loss Of muscular PoW-
er, Palpit"ti4n of the Henrt DysRepsls; NGTvous T
Irritability Derangement OF the Digestive Func-
tions, General Debility, Symtoms OF Consump-
MENTA1LY.-The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded. Loss OF Memory, Con-
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Fore
bodings Aversion to Society, Self Distrust, Love
of Solitude, Timidty, Sc, are some Of the evils
produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge
what is the cause of their declining health losing
emacatcd, having singular appearance about
tho eyes, cough and symptoms OF Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tcc. already described, q habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or at school, tho objects
of which nrc nightly felt, even when asleep and
if not cured, renders marriage impossible ana
destroys both mind and body, should apply I'M
mcdiaLey
Whist pity that young man, the hope OF
his country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoyment OF
life by the consequence OF deVlatlng from the
path of nature, and indulgng in pernicious
habits. Such persons must, before comtomplat-
ing.
Reflect that sound mind and body are tho
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes 8 weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkens to tho view, the mind
becomes shadowcd with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
another is bighted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary Of
Measure finds that he has imbbed the seeds Of
this painful disease it too often happens that An
ill-tIned sense of shame or dread OF discovery do
lers him from applying to those VINO, from cdu-
cation and rcspectability, can alone octrlend hlm,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF the
hOrrlu disease mAkcs IllciF appcni aHSot ooCu M
ulccrated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
pans in the head and limbs dimness of sight,
deafness nodes on the shin bones and arms:
blo,ches on the head, face and extremities pro-
crossing with frlghtful rspidity, till at last the
pulatc of the mouth or the bones of the nose
tall in, and the victim of this awful disease be-
comes horrid object of commisseraton till
death puts period to MS dreadful suffering by
whcncr no traveller returns.
1t is 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 Of curing, keep the unhappy suf
ferer month after month taking their noxious or
injurious compounds, and instead Of being re
stored to u renewal Of Life, Vigor and Happiness
in despair leaves him with ruined Health to sigh
over his calling disappointment.
