DIR. JOHNSTON,
| Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known many troubled with ring
ing in the head and when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent bushing, attended
sometimes with arrangement Of mind, were cured
Immediately. -
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
! DR.. j. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uniting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage.
THESE are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz: :
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, symptoms of Con-
sumption, &c.
| MESTALLY-The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded-Ioss of Memory, Con-
fusion of Ideas, Depression Of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Sef-Dstrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &C., are some of the
evils pr, duced.
THOUSANDS of persons OF all ages can now
Judge what is the cause Of their declining health,
losing their yigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump-
! tion.
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice INDUCED In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects Of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and IL not cured, renders marriage impos-
siblc, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that q sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi-
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
hourly darkcns to the view the mind becomes
shadowed with desp pair and filled with the melan-
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votGry OF
pleasure finds that he has imbbed the see Is ol
this painful disease, 1t too often happens that an
il-timed sense of shame, or dread Of discovery,
de.ers him from applying to those who, from
: education and respcctabty, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as liberated sore throat. diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
botches on the head, face and extrenities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapdity till at last the
palate of ;he mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
n period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
1t is a 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 Poi
son, Mercury, &C., destroy the constitution, and
incapable OF curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
furious compounds, and instead of being restored
to renewal of Life yigor and Happiness, in des
= pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh ovel
his CALLING disappointment.
= To such, therefore, DIR. JOHNSTON pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, anC
> from his extensive practice and observations il
the great Hospitals Of Europe, and the first il
this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
d and elsewhere, is enabled TO offer the most Ger
: tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the worlt
e for all diseases of imprudence.
