a CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and lmprudent votary O
pleasure finds that he has imoibed the seeds Q
this painful disease, it too often happens that a
| ill-timed sense of shame, or dread Of discovery
deters him from applying to those who, fror
education and respectability, can alone befrien
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms @
this herrid disease make their appearance, sue
as liberated sore throat. diseased nose. nOctura
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms
blotches on the head, face and eXtremltles, pre-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till at last tn
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fal
in, and the victim Of this awful disease become
horrid object of commiseration, till death put
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sendn
him to that Undiscovered Country from whenc
no traveller returns"
1t is n melancholy fact that thousands DIl
victims TO this terrible disease, through falln
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
