.a DIR. 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 when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sObnds,
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
rage.
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, Palptation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, |
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, symptoms of Con- |
&c.
MESTAILY-The fearful effects on the mind |
are much to 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 yigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having singular appearance |
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump- |
tion.
Who have injured tn mselves by certain prac- |
tice INDUCED In when alone, habit frequently |
learned from evil companions, or at scheol, the |
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos-
sible and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
What pity that young man, the hope of his
country, the darling Of his parents, should be
snatchc6 from all prospects and enjoyments OF
life, by the consequence OF deviating from the
path Of nature and indulging In a certain secret |
habit. Such persons MUST before contemplating |
MARRIAGE.
reflect that sound mind and body are the most |
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi |
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through |
life becomes n weary pilgrimage; the prospect |
hourly darkens TO the view the mind becomes |
shadowed with despair and filled with the melan- |
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and Imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that be has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, il too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread Of discovery,
deters him from applying to 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,
biotches on the head, face and extremities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidty, till at 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

him TO " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
II is n 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 noxious or in
furious compounds, and instead of being restored
10 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.

the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first ir
this country, viz England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most GER
tain. speedy and efiectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.
