DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When tho misguided and imprudent votary Of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds cf
this painful disease, it too often happens that all

tnrs him from applying to those who, from cdu-
cation and responsibility, can alone bcirlcAd him,
DELAYING till the constitutional symptoms of 'hr
horrld discase makes their appearance, such ns
liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, dlmness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms:
blotchcs on the head, face and extremties, pro-
crossing with frghtful rspidity, till al last the
palate of the mouth or the bones Of tho nose

comes horrid object Of commisseration Till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
Il is melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
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 no1ious or
injurious compounds, and instead OF being re
stored to renewal Of Life, Vigor snd Happlnesa
in despair leaves him with ruined Health TO sigh
ov ver his CALLING disappointment
