= CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and mprudent vot#ry OF
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timcd sense of shame, or dread OF discovery,
detcrs him from applying to those who, from
education and respcctability, can alone betriend
him. DELAYING till the constitutional symptoms of
| this herrid disease make their appearance, such

pains in the head and limbs, dmnes5 OF sight,
! dca fncss. nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blOtchcs on the head, face and eXtremliies, pro-
! crossing with irightful rapidity, till at last the
palat OF the mouth the bones of the nose fall
! in and the victim of this awful disease becomes
/ a horrid object of commseratiOn, till death puts
/ a period To his dreadful suffering, by sending

: no traveller ret urns.
Ii Is q melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims TO this terrible disease, through falling
i into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE-
/ TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son. Mercury &c, destroy the constitution, and
/ incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
( Ihonth after month taking their noXious or G-
furious compounds, and instead OF being restored

self to preserve the most lnvioiable Secrecy, ana

| the great Hospitals Of Europe, and the first ir
/ this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most GER
