TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. J. addresses al those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary

MENTALLY-TDe fearful effects on the mind
ure 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, arc some OF Ihe eV'is
produced.
Thousands of persons Of all ages can now judge
what is tho cause of their declining health, losing
their vigor becoming weak, pale, nervous and
onlacated, having singular appearance about
The eyes, cough and symptoms OF Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by certain prac-
tice, already described, II habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or at school, the elecls
OF which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and
if not cured renders marriage impossible, and
destroys both mind and body should apply inn
mrdiaLcly.
What pity that Il young man, the hope OF
his country, the pride of his parents, should be
life by the consequence of deviating from the
ra1h of nature, and indulging in perniciOus
habits. Such persons must, before comtemplst.
ing.
Reflect that sound mind and body arc tho
most necessary requisites TO promote connuolal
happiness Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkcns to the view, the mind
becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
smother is blighted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and mprudent votary Of
pleasure finds that he has lmbbed the seeds OF
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
l-,llncd sense Of shame dread Of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those who, from cdu-
cation and responsibility, can 81 betrcnd him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms Of tho
horrld disease makes their appearance, such as
ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
l,ains in the head and limbs, dlmness of sight,
Ieafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms:
blotches on the head face and e1tremities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till 1T last the
palate Of the mouth or the bones of the nose
fall in, and the victim Of this awful disease be-
comes q horrid object of commlsscration till
death puts 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
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
tcrer month after month taking their n0x!ous OF
INJURIOUS compounds, and instead Of being re
stored to renewal of Life, Vigor and Happiness
in despair leaves him with ruined Health to sigh
over bis CALLING disappointment.
