ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impoteney, Lots of Power, immediately Cured and full Vigor Restored. This Distressing A licet Ion which renders Life mlscratilo and marriage Impossible is the penalty paid "by the victims of improper indulgences. Young persons are too apt to commit excesses from not being aware of the dreadful consciences that may ensue. Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper habits than by the prudent ? Besides licing deprived tho pleasures of hcurrti'y offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body nnd mind arise. The system becomes de ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions Weakened, Loss of Procrenllvc Power, Nervous Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and Death. A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten ders who keep hcm trilling month after month, taking poUonoris and injurious coinpouuds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from rre of tho most cmiucut Colleges in tho United States, and the greutcr part of whoso lfe has been spent in the hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has etlectcd some of the most astonishing cures that were ever kuown j many troubled with ring ing in the bead und cars when asleep, great nervousness, toeing alarmed nt sudden sounds, bashfuhiess, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of iniuil, were cured immediately. TAKE" PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by Improper Indulgence und solitary habits, which ruin both body und mind, uulitting them for cither business, study, society or mar riage. Turbb are some of t'n'o snd 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, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous immunity, Derangement ot DlireBiive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, Ac. Mentally The fearful effects on tho mind are much to bo dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Deprcssiou of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac., are some of the evils produced. Thousands of licrsons of all ages can now Judgo what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weuk, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular uppcurunce ubout the eyes, cough und symptoms of consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prnc tieo indulged in when alone, u habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the elleets of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured, renders murriuge impos sible, and destroys both miud aud body, should apply immediately. What u pity that a young man, the hope of Ills country, tho darling of bis parents, should be snatched from ull prospects and enjoyments of lifr, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature uud indulging in u certain secret hubit. Sueb persons mi st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a 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 proiect hourly darkens to thu view ; the mind becomes shadowed witli despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the huppiuess of another become blighted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided uud imprudent votary of pleasure tluds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, It too olteu happens that ail ill-timed sense of shame, or drcud of discovery, deters him front applying to those who, from education and rcsectnblliiy, cuu alone befriend him, delaying till tho constitutional symptoms ol this horrid disease make their upearanee, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoeturul pains In the bead aud limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes ou the shlu bones and urms, blotches on the head, faee and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rupidity, till at last the inlule of the mouth or the boms of the nose full lu, uud the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of comiiiiserution, till death puts a period to his dreadful sullerlng, by sending hliu to " I hut Unducovered Country from wUeuco uo traveller returns."

Dr. C. W. Weaver, sworu. Shamokin. I remember tho night upon which Mat thew Kearney was shot. I was at homo when it took placo. I am a physician in full practice. I have practiced over four years. ' I saw. Kearney ou tho night ho was shot near Schoch's house. I think it woe about 1 o'clock, Mov. 1, 1870. lie was lying on his back near the hou&e, duad. Tho Jury was there. I weut into tho houso first, and then catilti out tt examine the bodv. 1 examined the bndv. I found an opening in tho ceutro of the buck of tlo head. It was a small hole. I probed tho wound. Tho direction of tho wound was forward nnd downward. It was made with a bullet, about 4 inches deep. That wound was the cause of Kearney's death. Tho bullet was not extracted. Ono reason Why I did not extract, the bullet, was be causo I did not Ihiiik'tt'riecessary, and be causo also, that tho Commissioners of Xor thumlicrlnnd county do not pay for imt mortem examinations. Cross Ex. I could out say exactly how ho stood when ha was shot. .1 never 'made any experiments in reference to tho direc tion of this shot. Balls sometimes change their courso after they strike tho skull, hut 1 do not know it to bo a rule of medical science thut balls always change their di rection iu striking a skull.
