Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some Of the

THOUSANDS Of persons of all ages can now
Judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms OF consump-
tion.
Who have injured tn mselyes by certain prac-

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

MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubal happl-
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 blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and Imprudent votary OF
pleasure finds that he has imblbed the seeds OF
this painful disease, il too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread oi discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone beiriend
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,
blotches on the head, face and eXtremities, pro-
crossing with frghtful rapidity, till at last the
palate Of the mouth or the bones OF the nose iaiI
in. and the victim Of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object Of commiseration, TIL death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to - that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns"
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims TO this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands Of Ignorant or unskilliul PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use Of that deadly Pol .
SON. Mercury, &c., destroy the constitution, and /
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer .
month after month taking their noHlous or in /
iurious compounds, and instead of being restored 4
TO renewal Of Life Vigor and Happiness, In des-
pair leave him with ruined Health TO sigh over (
his calling disappointment.
To such, therefore, DR.. 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 Irst iE /
this country. viz: England, France, Philadelphia /
and elsewhere, is enabled TO offer the most Ger
tain. speedv and efectual remedy in the world .
for all diseases Of imDrudence.
