tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave

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 ifc 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 ears when asleep, great
nervousness. being alarmed at sudden sounds.
bashfulncss, with frequent blushing, attended 1
sometimes with arrangement Of mind, were cured
Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses ali 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,

and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms ofconsump-

YOUNG MEN

learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when

country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatcheG from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, By the consequence of devating from the
path of nature and indulging in certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote oonnubial happi-
ness. 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 melan-
choly reflection, that the happiness Of another
becomes bghted with our own.
CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and mprudent vOtary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds OF
this painful disease, il too often happens that an
il-timed sense of shame, dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectabilHy, can alone befrlenG
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, dmness Of sight,
deafness nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and eXtremties, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate Of the mouth or the bones OF the nose fall
II.
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him 10 :" that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
il is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
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
month after month taking their noXlous or in
and iTzf pf
To a renewal Of Life Nigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his CALLING disappointment.
To such, therefore, DIR. JOHNSTON pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first iE
this country viz: England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere is enabled to offer the most GER
tain. speedy and efectual remedy in the world
for all diseases Of imprudence.
