SUNBURY, PA
BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
JR. JOnNSTON,
Physician of thla celebrated Institution, has
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual remedy In the world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of tho Bark or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Impoteney, General Debili
ty, Norvousness, Dyspcpsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitutiou of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lungs,
Stomach or Bowels these tcrriblo Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret nnd solitary practices more fatal to their
victims lliau the song of Syrcus to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, Ac, impos
sible. OCNO MEN
especially, who hare become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful aud .destructive habit
which annually sweeps to nn untimely grava
thousands Of ymirg man of the most exalted
talcuts and brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have cnUr.ioed listening S"nate with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, nwnro of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Proereative Power Impoteney), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitutiou, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or nuy other Disqualitlcution,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide in Ills honor as a pentle
muu, nnd confidently rely noon his skill as a Phy
sician. . . ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
IiupoteniT', Los of Power, immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life,
miserable nnd marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victim of improier Indulgences'.
Young persons nro loo apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful couseqeueos
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lot sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent T Besides
being deprived the pleasnresof healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to hot li
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical uud Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Proereative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspejwia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion. Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of tho Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay anil
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep tliem trilling month after month,
taking poisonous nnd injurious compounds,
bliould apply immediately.
Dlt. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the moat eminent
Colleges in the United States, aud the greater
part of whose ifc has beeu spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia nnd elsewhere,
has eileeted some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known j inauy troubled with ring
ing lu the head and e.-.rs when asleep, great
uervousuesa, beiug alarmed at sudden founds,
bashfulucss, with frequent blushing, atteu lej
sometimes with derangement of miud, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have lulnrrd
theuiBclvns by improper indulgence aud solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for cither business, study, society or mar
riage. Tiikse are pome of the sad aud melancholy
effects produced by early habit of yonth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs. Pains in the
Baekand Head. Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digentive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, Ac.
Mestai.lt The fcarfnl effects on tho mind
are much to he-dreaded Loss of Memory, t 'on
fuslou of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, sclf-Distniht,
Love of Soiitude, Timidity, Ac, are soinu of the
evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all aes cau now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having n singular appearance
about the tyes, eo:'.:,UanJ symptoms ol consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves hy n certain prac
tice Indulged inwbeu alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil com anions, oral s 'liool, tho
effects o." which ure nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cure 1, reu Jcrs marriage impos
sible, uud destroys both miuj and body, bhoilld
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, tho darling of his parents, should be
snatebci from all prospects and injvineats of
life, by the cousequciiec of deviating from tho
path of nature and itululgiug in u curtain secret
habit. Saeh persons mi st, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
rellcyt that a bound miud and body ure the most
necessary requisites to promote couuubiul happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the kappineej of another
become blighted with ourowu.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
Wlicu the misguided uud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has Imbibed the beeJ of
tills paiuful disease, It too ofteu happens thai an
Ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, froiu
education and respectability, can alone, befriend
bun, delaying till the couMiuttional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased uoac, uoi tural
pains in the head and iimbs, dimness of right,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches c ii the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last tho
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose full
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a perioil to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns."
It is n melaueholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to tliis terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or uuski.lful i'RK-
lfc.NUI'.K.-', who, by thu use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ae., destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy snrterer
month after month taking tliuir noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of beiug restored
to a renewal of Lite Vigor and Happiuess, iu des
pair leave bint with ruiued Health to siU over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice aud observations iu
the great Hospitals of l".uioe, and the Urst in
this couulry, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
aud elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most cer
tain, speedy aud ell'eetuul remedy ill the wurld
for all diseases of Imprudence.

The Kcicnce oTAtl vercUlugr.
Jittlicioits ndvcrtHnjv always pays.
irvoti liavo ft good thing, mlvertise It. If
you fiavnn't, don't.
Largo type isn't necessary iu advertising.
Iilind lolka don't rend ncwBjiapcrs.
Don't bo afraid to invest in printers iuk ,
lest your sands of lift! be nearly run out.
Never run down your opponent's goods
iu public Let him know his own adm'
tisin. ....
Let your ndvcrlismcnts liavo something
of the daeh iu them, without great exag
geration. You can't eat enough in ono week to last
you ft whole year, and you can't advertise
on that plan either.
It's ns true of advertising aa of anything
else in the world if it is worth doing at all"
it is worth doing well.
Hand bills aud circulars arc good of their
kind, but they cannot lako the placo of
newspaper advertisements.
Injudicious advertising is like fishing
iv hero there's no fish, l'ou ucod to lot
liurs fall in the right place.
Xo bell can ring so. loudly as a good ad
vertisement. People will believe what they
see rather than what they hear.
.Small ftdvenisemcnts, aud plenty of
them, is it good rule. AVe were all babies
once, yet we made considerable noise.
When you advertise, soc that you do it
on the same principal that you buy goods.
(Jet the nioBl you can for the money.
AVe don't recommend advertising as tho
best way to get a wile ; but wo know that
it is the best way to gvt a good trade.
People who advertise ouTy once in threo
months forget that most folks can't remem
ber . anything longer than about seven
days.
If you can arouse curiosity by an adver
tisement, it is a great point gained. Tho
fair sex don't hold i'U tho curiosity in tho
world.
A constant dropping will wear a rock.
Keep (hopping your advertisements on tho
public and they will soon melt under it liko
i rooK salt.
I (Quitting advertising in dull times is liko
I tearing out it dam because the water is low.,
, Either plan will prevent good times from
i eve r coming. .
I "Dull times," it is said, "are the best
; for advertisers." Because when money is
j light, aud llio people are forced to econo
mize, they always read thu advertisements
I to ascertain who sells tho cheapest, aud
j where they can trade to the best advantage-
According to tho character or extent of

I not what business of utility you may be.
engaged in, for, if intelligently and iudus-
let i trious pursued, a fortune, will bo tho result.'
: The man who advertises shows not only
a business tali tit above his neighbors, but
j he may be at onco reckoned among tho in
: dependent, generous and public spirited
. of the community. He who hides his light,
j under a bushel, when such advantages as
: those at pisent all'orded are so freely offer-
cd him,' does not deserve to succeed.
, Women tin rifclal Correspouileuts.
I It is as special correspondents that wo
! men have won their chief sucet sa in jour
' nalistn. Ther.! is scarcely a paper of weight'
uud versatility which 1ms not upon its 6ialV
nt least one lciiunine corn spotidelit. AVo-
nten is p'tr e.c Ik nee the letter-writer of her
race. To every detail she gives a dainty
' charm a certain quality that strike ono
as thu perfume of the sweet human tlovrer.
! Kvery one who possesses I he friendship of
' thoughtful, siiritucl'e women must feel tho
, rejrret that often comes to me tho regret,
i that their ersiiiial letters, full of tact, vi-,
j vaeky, and humor, are not for tho world's
i enjoyment. The cultivating gossip of Do
S-viune, the modern graces of that most
I trraceful writer, Kate Field, aro daily ri
; v.iilcd in private letters which but ono pair.
, of eves probably ever scans. Lord Chester-.
l'u hi s stately platitudes, U'alpolo's hau",h

' ii-.ir wit, Charles Lamb's buoyant fun, havo
: for years and years been cited as models of
