TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DR.. J. addresses all those who have injured

Head Dimness of Sight Loss Of muscular Pow
cr, Papitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous

YOUNG MEN

ticc already described, habit frequently learn
ed from evil companions or ut school, the etIocts
of which arc nightly felt, even whom asleep, and
if not cured, renders marriage impossible, and
destroys both mind and body, should apply inn
mcdiately.
What pity that young man, the hope of
his country, the pride of his parents, should be
suatchcd from all prospects and enjoyment Of
life by the consequence of devlatlng from tho
path of nature, and indulging in pernicious
habits Such persons must, before contemplate
ing.
Reflect that "a sound mind and body are tho
most necessary requisites to promote connublal
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
another is bighted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has ilnbibed the seeds of

cation and rcspcctability, can lone betrlend him.

Il is q melancholy fact that thousands DIX
