TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all iliote who have lujnrrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body uud mind, uuliitiiig them for either business, study, society or uiur riage. These are some of the sad and melancholy efl'cets produced by curly hubits of youth, viz: Weakness of the Back aud Limbs. Paius in the Bucki'Ud Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Paipituliouof the Heart, Dyspcpsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Diuoslivu Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, iVc. Mentally The fearful elTeets on the miud are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideus, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodiugs, Aversion to Society, bull-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &.c, are some of the evils produced. Thousands of persons of ull ages can now Judire what is the cause of their declining hcalltij losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular uppearancu about the eyes, cough uud symptoms ot consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice InJulired In wheu nlouc, a habit freqio; illy learned from evil companions, or at school, the i:llucts of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if uot cured, reuders marriage lu pos sible, und destroys tioth miud uud body, should npply immediately. What u pity that a young muu, the luqieof his country, the darling of his parents, should be suiiteliei. from ull prospects uud enjoyments of life, by the cousequeuce of deviating from the path of nature uud indulging in a certain see ret habit. Such persons must, Indole contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect thnt a sound miud uud body are the most iieveesury requisites to promote eon no Ma! happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the mind Lecomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly retlection, that the bapplnjsi of another becomes uliirhtcd wilh our own. a CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided uud imprudent votary of pleasure II nils that he bus Imbibe 1 the see Is ol this painful disease, It too often happens that au ill-timed seuse of shame, or a read of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and reeetafiilily, cuu uloue bcfricnJ. him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their uppearauce, such us ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoeturnl paius Iu the head and linil, dimness of sight, deafness, uodes on the shin bones and uruis, blotches ou the head, face aud extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till ul last the. palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending him to " thut Undiscovered Country from whence uo traveller returns." It is a ine.auelioly fact thut thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through fulliiiti into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use or that deadly Pol tMU, Mercury, e., destroy the constitution, and liicupublo or curlug, keep the uuhappv sudervr mouth alter mouth taking their iiuaious or in jurious couipouuds, and instead of being restored to a renewal of Lite Vigor and Happiue.-, in des pair leave him wilh ruined Health to sigh over his gulling diapHiiuiment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and front his extensive practice aud oLservullons in the great Hospitals of Europe, and the ur.t in this country, vix : Eugluud, i ranee, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, is euubled to otter the luool cer tain, speVdy and effectual remedy iu the world for all diseases of imprudence.

To me the season and this wouiau seem alike.1 'Hut Summer is only Spring with a soul in it,' answered Kirk. 'Ves, I grant you that,1 said Rolhermel.
