BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
DE. JOHNSTON,
Physician of this celebrated Institution, has
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual remedy insthe world for'all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness OF the Back or Limbs, Structures,
Affections Of Kidneys and Bladder, lnvolun-
tsry Discharges, Ihpotency, General Debili-
ty, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitaton Of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease Of the Head,
stomach or Bowels-these terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth-those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, &C., impos-
sible.
YOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli-
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men Of the most exalted
talents and brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders Of eloquence walked to ecstacy the
living Tyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
Of Procreative Power-Impotency) Nervous Ex-
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
'vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of DIR. j.
may religiously confde in his honor q gentle
man, and confidently rely upon his skill as Phv-
sician.
oRGANIC WEAKNESS.
Impotency, Loss OF Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Afection-which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible-is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful consequences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent? Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms 10 both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de-
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss Of Procreative Power, Nervous
lrritability, Dyspepsia, Palptation Of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption. Decay and
Death.
CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined In health by unlearned preten-
ders who keep them trifing month after month,
taking poisonous and Injurious compounds |
should apply immediately.
DR.. JOHNSTON,
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 ife 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,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended /
sometimes with arrangement Of mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
DIR. j. addresses all 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,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement Of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, symptoms OF Con-
eumption, DC.
MTNrAILY-The fearful effects ON the mind
are much 70 be dreaded-Loss of Memory, Con- /
fusion of Ideas, Depression Of spirits, Evil
Forebodings, 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 their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, neryous
and enaciated, having q angular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms OF feonsump-
tlon. /
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured III mseives by certain prac-
tice inaulged In when alone, habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at schsol, the
effects Of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and II NOT cured, renders marriage impos-
sibie and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately. I
What pity that 3 young man, the hope Of his
country, the darling Of his parents, should be
snatchcd from all prospects and enjoyments Of
life, by the consequence Of devisting from the
path Of nature and INDUCING In a certain secret
habit. Such persons MUST before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reject that sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubal happi-
pess. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkcns to the view the mind becomes
choiy reflection, that the happiness Of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and lmprudent yotary Of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds Of
this painful disease, ii too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread Of discovery,
deters him from applying 10 those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
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, dimness OF sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blosches on the head, face and extremities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidty, till ut last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to [" that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
Il 10 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 noIiOus or in
jurious compounds, and instead Of being restored
70 a renewal of Life Vigor 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 hrst liz
this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled TO offer the most GER
tain. speedy and efectual remedy ln the world
for all diseases Of imprudenee.
