Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part Of whose life has been spent in the hospl-

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. J. addresses al those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uniting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. -.

Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of muscular PoW-
er, Palpitation of the Heart Dyspepsia, Nervous
Irritability, Dersngement of the Digestive Func-

ton, sc.
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
heir vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emacisted, having singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms Of Consumption.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-
tice, already described q habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or at school, the ELECTS
of which arc nightly felt, even when asleep, and
if not cured, renders marriage impossible, and
destroys both mind and body, should apply i'm
+. .
What pity that young man, the hope OF
his country, the pride Of his parents should be
sratched from all prospects and enjoyment OF
life by the consequence OF deVlatlng from the
path of nature, and indulging in pornicious
habits. Such persons must, before contemplate
ing. ..ou
Reflect that a sound mind and body are tn
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes 49, weary pilgrimage pug, ,t the
becomes shadowed with despair, and filed with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
another is blighted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent Yotary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, 1t too often happens tnat an
ll-tlIued sense Of shame dread of discovery do
tcrs him from applying to those who, from edu-
cation and respectablity, can alone oefrlend hiin,
DELAYING till the constitutional symptoms of tho
horrld disease makes their appearance, such
sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
mains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms:
blotches on the head, face and extremites, pro-
crossing with fightful rapidity, till at last the
oalate OF the mouth or the bones of the nose
fall in, and the victim of this awful disease be-
comes horrid object OF coInmlsserston till
death puts Il period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
Il is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims 70 this terrible disease through falling
=
TENDERS, who by the use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, Sc, destroy the constitution,
and incapable Of curing, keep the unhappy suf
iercr month after month taking their noxious OF
INJURIOUS compounds, and instead of being re
stored to a renewal Of Life, Vigor and Happiness
in despair leaves him with ruined Hesltk to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment
