JOHNSTON
Member of the Royal College of Surgery Of
London, Graduate of ono of the most eminent
part Of whose life has been spent in the hospi-
tuls of London, Paris, Philadelphia and else
where, has effected some of the most astonishing
cures that were ever KNOWN many troubled with
ringing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfllness, with frequent blushng attended
sometimes with arrangement ol pslnd, were
cured Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indul lgence and solitary
habits which ruin both body and mind uRltting
them for either business, study, society or mar
rage.
These are some of the sad and melancholy eff
rccts produced by the early habits OF youth VIZ:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dmncss of Sight, Loss of muscular Pow
er. Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability, Dcrange cement of the Digestive Func-
tions, General Debility, Symtoms of Consump-
ton, &c
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 Timidity, &c, are some Of the evils
produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now Judge
what is the cause of their declining health losing
their vgor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emaciated having singular appearance about
the eyes cough and symptoms of Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by n certain prac-
ticc, 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
mcdiately.
What pity that a young man, the hope of
his country, the pride OF his p"ronts, should be
suatchcd from all prospects and enjoyment OF
life by the consequence Of deviating from tho
path of nature, and indulging in pcrncious
habits Such persons must, before contemplate
ing
Reflect that q sound mind and body arc III
most nccessnry REQUISITES to promote connubial
bappiness Indeed, without these the journey
through lirc becomes weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkcns to the view tho mind
becomes shadowed with despair, and fllod with
the melancholy reflection that tue happiness OF
another is blighted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary Of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that
il-tImed sense of shame or dread Of discovery de-
tcrs HIM from applying to those Who from edu-
cation and rcspcctablllty, can alone beirend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms Of the
borrId disease makes their appearance, such US
liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, dimness Of sight,
Deafness nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and cxtremlties, pro-
crossing with frlghtful repidity till At last the
palate Of the mouth or the bones of the nose
fall in, and the victim Of this awful disease be-
comes a horrid object Of commisscratiDn till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him TO that undiscovered country from
whcncc no traveller returns.
Il is 3 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 sui
tercr month after month taking their noxious OF
injurious compounds, and instead OF being re
stored 20 a renewal of Life, Vigor and Happiness
