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
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.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have in jurrd
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, Dimncss of Sight, Loss of Mus
cuar Power, Palpitaton of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con-
eumption, &c.
MENTAILY-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 hcalth
losing their yigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having 4 singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consuinp-
tion.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured tn mselves by certain prac-
tice INDUCED In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, 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 q pity that young man, the hope OF his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatchc& 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 8. sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi-
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a 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 blighted with our own
p CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and Imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has inbibed the seeds OF
this painful disease, it 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 befrend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF
this herrid 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,
blotches on the head, face and extremites, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in. and the victim of this awful disease becomes
Il horTid object of commiscration, till death puts
Il period TO his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns
1t 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 b
furious 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.

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

for all diseases of imprudence.
