Now, who tluit understands tho subject will protoud to deny that tho 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 to both body and mind arise.

JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges in the United Stutes, and the greater part of whose lfe has been spent in the hospitals of London, Prls, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has effected some of the most UHtouishing cures that were ever known j many troubled with ring ing in the head and cars wheu asleep, great nervousness, being' alarmed at sudden sounds, bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of miud, were cared Immcdiatclv.

What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parents, should be snulchcii from ull prospects and enjoy mouts of life, by the consequeuce of deviating from the path of uuiure uud indulging in a certain secret liable. Such persons hi st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind aud body nre the most necessary requisites to promote conuubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage) the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shudowed with despair and filled with the melan choly rellectiou, that the kuppinoss of another becomes blighted with ourown. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has Imbibed the seed's of this painful disease, It too often happen that nil ill-tiiucd scuso of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to thoso who, from education aud resiicetabilitv, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of i Ibis horrid disease make their nrpearance, such I u ulcerated sore throat, diseased uosc, noctural puins iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes ou the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at hut the palate of the mouth or the boucs of the nose full In, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to hi dreadful suffering, by sending nun to " mat i naiscoverca country irom wuciico no traveller return." It Is a melancholy fact thut thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through fulling into the hand of Ignoruut or unskillful l'KE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, aud liicapubia ot curiug, keep tha unhappy suilerer mouth after month tuklutr their noxious or in jurious compounds, and instead of being restored to a renewal oi L.ne igorni Mappiue, lu dei- fiair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over lis gulling 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 Earopc, and the tlrst ii: this country, vis t England, France, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, Is enabled to otter the most cer tain, speedy aud effectual remedy la the world for all disease of Imprudence.

Shiu disease pdlly eured. February l, l87K.-ly lvnTut i.rrnT'T- F1Y FIRST PATIENT. In one of the mot lovely littlo villagea In the Valleyof the Connecticut had I, "A. W. Caldwell," a newly-fledged M. D., hung out as conspicuously ns poaaiblo my tin sign, proclaiming to the inhabitant that any patronage they might beatow upon me would be moat gratefully received. This was tho placo of my nativity, and within the circuit of a fuw miles had my boyhood and youth been pnesed. Develop ing early a disposition for the profession of medicine, my education bad been to that efluct and up to the time of tho breaking out of the war, my life bnd been spent in constant study varied, of course, by an 'occasional flirtation with some charming damsel. But tho clarion hound of war startled me from my lethargy, and bidding "adieu" to friends, neighbors, and old Eh culapius, I suited with one of tbe first regiments for the field of conflict. But my separation from the last men tioned gcn'Jeman was destined to bo of short ' continuance, for surgeons wcro scarce, aud humanity as well as the desire for the 'knowledge this experience would give me, beckoned ine to tho poBt, and so during the whole campaign my time was passed with the dead, wounded and dying. At the end of the war, I returned to Xcw York to complete my lectures and receive my diploma ; which bcinx done, I spent another year as resident physician in one of our first hospitals ; and now, with a ripe experience and a littlo prestige, I found myself tucked away in this delightful val ley, waiting for my first patieut. ' itood moruing, sir. I his is, 1 suppose, Dr. Caldwell?" and I, startled from my reverie by the low voice at my elbow, look ed around to see a lady, not old, not young, but lino looking, with an air of elegance which plaiuly bespoke lier station iu socie ty. She hnd entered the room very quiet ly, and now stood gaziug into my face as if endeavoring to find there liny index of my professional ability. "I am tlmt gentleman, madauie. Will you bo seated V" and I offered her a chair, aud seated myself beside her. "I have como to you for advice, doctor," said she, at the same time drawing off her delicate gloves, and displaying hands white and tiny, while on tho taper lingers glisten ed diamonds and opals, rather too much for good taste, I thought, but that was no alliiir ol mine. So I, aller having, from my general scrutiny, come to the conclusion thai I didu't like her face or manners, dis missed all thought of them, and attended to tho business she hud on hand. "I came to you, doctor, because I heard that you had" a considerable, city experi ence, and I really cau't put any confidence in these country clowns. I am boarding at hotel, about two miles from here, Mid ." "Is it for yourself you seek advice V" I inquired, noticing her momentary hesita tion. '"Not at all, sir," Mio. replied, laughing heartily. "Do 1 look like an invalid ? 1 never jvus ill a day in my life ;" and the line, well developed fii;uro aud generally healthy appearance gave pretty good evi dence that she was speaking tho truth. "It is my daughter, sir, or rather my husbnnd's daughter, for I am unfortunate enough to bo a stepmother. She lias always "been delicate, at least ever since I kuuw her. We brought her here this Summer at her particular request, instead of .Newport or Saratoga ; but she does uot improve that is to say, bho thinks tho,. doesn't. There may be some nervousness and hysteria mixed up wi'.h it I can hardly say ; but you will probably understand the case when you have seen her." "Of what does she complain ?" "Of nothing in th! world but lassitude. She is always tired, and does lint have the least inclination for the slightest mental or physical exertion." "No cough? Xo pulmonary difficulty?" I inquired. "Xo, not a bit," was the immediate an swer. "lias she suCottd severe afiUction, by death or other causes ?" "Love you probably mean !" and my visitor curled her lip a little scornfully, and said : "Xo, I believe her heart to be whole and healthy ; but her father is worried almost inti spusms about her,' and I promised him to He nil a physician this very day. So please como out as early this af ternoon us you can make it convenient." I promised to do so, and my lady de parted. I pondered some time over the cliatacter of my strange visitor ; but the more I pondered, the tiiore convinced I be came thut she was a woman entirely out ot the common order. Shu had a keen black eye, and extraordinarily large, perceptive features ; but the mouth, thin lipped, with a sinister expression about the corners, suggested the idea of cruelty ; which idea, oneo havinz taken possession of my brain, 1 found it impossible, to rid myself f. The card she had given me 1 still held in my hand, "Mrs. (jeneral J. D. Waile." The name somo way was familiar, aud memory brought back to me one of my hospital experiences, when a man by that name had been dangerously wounded, aud after a tedious aud irritating convalescence, had only been able to move, slowly around on crutches. A splendid-looking man iu tbe primo of life, ha excellent friend aud a gallant otlicer. 1 wouderod whether this was the same; and with the curiosity under the circumstances pardonable, I pro ceeded to tho hotel. The very first person my eyes rested upon was my friend, the (ietieral of Chat lauooga, silting (with bis crutches besie1 I him on the piazza. "God bless you, my hoy '.'' said he, re cognizing me iu a moment. "In the name of tt merciful I'rovideucu, where did you rain dowu from V This is something to bo thankful for. Sit down a moment, and tell me all about yourself." Hut before I could find voice or lauguagi lie hud agalu interrupted. "Oh, yes 1 I am belter than I ever expected to be. Hut, Caldwell, I urn tno most unfortunate man living, I have a daughter, the loveliest creature thai God ever put upon the face of the earth, and every day I cart see that she grows weaker aud weaker. I brought her out here, hopiug & great deal from the moun tain air, but sho Is worse than ever. I have thought about you doctor, times with out number, and wished that you could see her ; for I remembered your patience and skill with us poor devils?" and a srailo which had very little heart tn it, played around bis mouth at the recollection of his former experience. "Your wife called to see me this morn, ing, General, and it is at her request that 1 ant hern. If your daughter's ease has defied tbe medical skill of New York, as conversation indicates, I am fearful that the disease is beyond my reach ; but, how ever, if you wish, I 'will have an iutor- MAY 18, 1872. I view," I replied, hhvlng fathered that there had been ho lack of eoicntlllo advice or professional ability. ' . ,i . ... I had seen a great deal of practice, to be sure, but only within tho last year had I dealt at all w'ith women, and this, although pleasant, was nevertheless awfully pus r.ling. t . MV fonnd the invalid alono, Mrs. VTaite having laid down, requesting to bo called when the doctor came. My patient was lying listlessly on a lounge drawn up before the open window, apparently absorbed iu the mystery of clouds and coloring. "Gracie, my darling, I have brouzht a gentleman to see you," said her father, tenderly bending over her. " . "A gentleman, papa ! Who told you you might? Sure, 1 am in no condition to see company," I heard her reply in low tones. "But, Gracie, it i a very old frinod of papa's. You havo heard mo speak often and long of Mr. Caldwell, the gentleman to whom 1 owe (with God's help) the breath oriifo?" "Oh, yes, papa. Tell him to come in ; but I am so tired," and I advanced to the side of the lounge. The General introduced us, and I took a seat beside her, with an earnest desire thai I might bo of some benefit to this af flicted family. "You must excuse my not rising, Dr. Caldwell, fur I am fearful that I am u con firmed invalid ; but I do hnpo that you will never forget how grateful I am for all your kindness to papa ; and really, doctor, I am quite certain that I never havo said a prayer since his first letter to me from Hospital, without asking God to bless aud keep you. Mv poor life would be verv desolate without papa." A scene worthy tho brush of a Claude ! This beautiful girl, with her largo, dark, mournful eyes, and a transparent com plexion, drapery white and flowing ; long, brown, ripply hair, thrown negligently and artistically about tho pillow the General at her back, tall and handsome, with an expression of tho deepest solicitude on his glorious face. The sun Hooded tho West, and throwing a heavy light upon litis sweet picture, made me, nfcustomed as I was to sec scenes of every description, almost cry out with sympathy and appreciation. "You arc looking at the sunset, doctor?" "Yes, miss." "What could be more beautiful? If I were not so tired I should try to catch some of these tints," said tho Invalid softly- It was difficult to descend to symptoms after so exalted a mental condition ; beck ouing her father away, I made a few pre fatory remarks, informing her that I wish ed to understand soinothing uf her case, i hoping that I might be of service to her. She answered all my questions readily, and without reserve, occasionally volun teering some little information. I could not find the least glimmot of light. I sat holding tho almost transparent hand, aud counting the feeble pulse, when I noticed a shiver almost a chill convulse thedroop iai: figure for a moment, and then, with it quick, nervous compression of the beauti ful lips, I felt thai she willed herself into composure. Looking up, I saw Mrs. Waite, standing at the back of the lounge. "Why, doctor, how long have you been hero ? I gave express orders to bo awak ened at the moment of your arrival. Why was not this attended to, Grace ?" "You must inquire of. the person with whom you left command," was Grace's reply ; and I realized that with these two women it was "t(frre a entrance," and a battle which could only end in their ever lasting separation. "Have you "arrived at anything like a diagnosis yet, doctor ?" was the next ques tion of the madamc's. "I think I have a faint idea of the diffi culty, Mrs. Waite." "I)o you, iudced, doctor ? Wpll, that is Haltering," and her sarcasm wns as keen as tho eyes which seemed reading my soul. "A faint professional idea may bo prefera ble to no idea at all ; but really, I must confess that, for my own part, an 0 is of more account to mo than the thousandth part of a unit any lime and under any circumstancee," and the lady glanced around to see if tho General had heard het remarks. "And how is my husband, this afternoon ?" continued she, advancing to the lolling chair, and pressing a kiss on his forehead. "Don't mind her," whispered Grace, hastily ; "slw has quarreled oil' every phy sician I have ever had. Don't you "desert me." After writing a prescription and promis ing to cali again next day, I left those dark, mournful eyes following me all the way out. The General went with me to the carriage, and so vexed was 1 with the singular difficulty of the daughter, and the iusulting language of tho wife, that I fear I did not give the encouragement to tho poor man which he so needed and expecU.l. "Thero is something wrong there, some thiug dreadfully amiss ; but what is it, and how shall I proceed to find out?" 1 asked myself a hundred times on my way home. Several visit followed, but with no more success. The young lady seemed desirous of giving me all the iuformaliou in her power, but still there was no improvement. It was impossible, however, to obtuiu an in terview with my patient unless the step mother was present. Never niter the first? meeting was sliu caught from her post. 1 called luorniug, noon aud night, but it was useless. Her vigilance wus untiling, and woudcring at her strange pertinacity, 1 de termined i' adopt some meaus to Uud the object of my professional attentions alone. To mako such a request would be to pro cure my instant dismissal ; for the General, noble, manly uud straightforward in every other respect, was nevertheless under the iutluence and dominion of his wife, aud he seemed to look upon her us a piece of wo manly perfection. It would have bocu a difficult mailer to prejudice the Geueral against mo ; for the few mouths of hospital life had cemented a friendship pure and disinterested ; but, I believe she could havo accomplished it, if at any time she saw that my visits foreboded evil or unpleasant ness to herself. One morning, while riding alone on the way to my patient's my practice having rapidly iuereased I was met by a messen ger from the hotel, witli a note. It was a delicate little atfuir, and the "Dr. A. W. Caldwell" was written plainly and grace, fully. It read : "Dear Docter Father and Mrs. Waile i have been suddenly summoned to C , and will not return until afternoon ; and as you have not called recently until al most evening, I was fearful you might not to-day. Please come to me as soon as pos sible. . "Yours, Tery truly, Gracik."
