DIR. JOHNSTON
Member of the Royal College of Surgery Of
London, Graduate of one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States and the greater
part Of whose life has been spent in the hospl-
tails of London, Paris, Philadelphia and else
where, has effected some of the most astonishing
cures that were ever known; many trouble with
ringing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, beiag alarmed st sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushng attended
sometimes with arrangement OF p!ind, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits which ruiE both body and mind, uRttting
them for either business, study, society or mar
rage.
These arc some of the sad and melancholy eff
rects produced by the earl y habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs Pains in the
Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss Of muscular Pow
er, Palpitation of the Heart Dyspepsia, Nervous
rt of ho
tions, General Debility, SYMPTOMS Of Consunp-
ton, &c.
MENTALLY.-Tne fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded. Loss of Memory, Con-
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits Evil Fore
of Solitude, Timidity, SC, are some of the evils
produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now judge
what is the of their declining health, losing
their vigor,, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emacatcd, 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
cd from evil companions 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
mediately.
What pity that young man, the hope of
his country, the pride of his parents should be
snntchod from ell prospects and en- joyment of
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and ndulging in pernicious
habits Such persons must, before comtemplst
ing.
Reflect that q sound mind and body arc tn
most necessary requisites to promote connubal
happiness. Indeed, without these tho journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkens TO the view, the mind

DISEASES OF IAPEUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votsry Of
pleasure finds that he has lmbibed The seeds OF
this painful disease, it too often happens that An

ters him from applying to those who, from edu-
cation and respectADity, can alone berlend him.
delaying till the constitutional symptoms Of the
horrld disease makes their appearance such as
liberated sore throat, diseased nose nocturnal
i,ains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blolches on the head, face and extremlties, pro-
crossing with frightfil rApdity, till at last tho
palatc of the mouth or the bones Of the nose
iail in, and the victim Of this a"fut disease be-
comes d horrd object of commsseration till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering by
sending tr0 to that undiscovered country IRON
whence no traveller returns.
1t is y mrl.ncholy fact that thousands DIE
victn: % this terrible disease through falling
into the hands Of ignorant or un:hIItul PRE-
Tenders, who, by the of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, SC, destroy the constitution,
and incapable Of curing, keep the unhappy suf
forcr month after month taking their noxious OF
INJURIOUS compounds, and instead Of being re
stored to renewal OF Lie, Vigor and Hspp!nesa
in despair l4aves him with ruined Hesl:s to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment
