BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
R. JOHNSTON,
Physician of thki celebrated Institution, has
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual remedy in the world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili
ty, Nervousness, Dyspcpsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation 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 terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, Ac, Impos
sible. OUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victim of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talent and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Bcnates 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, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procrcatlve Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Orgauic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide iu his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely unon bis skill as a Pbv
eiclun. ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impotency, Loj of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable 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 conseqenccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by thoso falling Into
improper habits than ley the prudcat ( Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body nnd mind arise. The system becomcsje
rnnged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procrentive Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Iudigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Waiting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN" TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trilling month after mouth,
taking poisonous aud injurious compounds,
should upply Immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeon, Lon
don, Graduated from one of tho most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
pnrt of whose lfe has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has ctlected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known j many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ear when asleep, great
nervousness, being nlarmed at sudden sounds,
bashl'uluess, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of tuliid, were cured
Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
1. J. addresses nil those who have injnrrd
themselves by Improper Indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, untitling
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. Tiinsn nre some of tho sad and melancholy
effect produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimuexs of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, DyspopH.v,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Dim-stive
Functious, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, CvC.
Menially The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Los of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Kvii
Forebodings, Avernlou to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, iVe., arc some of the
evils produced.
Tuot sands of persons of all ages can now
Judge what Is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
nnd emaciated, having a singular appearance
uliout the eyes, cough and symptom's of '.-onsuiup-lion.
YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a certain prac
tice indulged iu when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, tho
eltecte of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind und body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of Ills
country, the darling of his parents, should be
suatclici from all pros)ect8 and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of devlutlng from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such crsoiis mi st, before coiitcuiplutiug
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind nnd body are the most
necessary requisites to promoto connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage s the prospect
hourly darken to the view ; the mind become
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiuess of unothcr
becomes blighted with ourowu.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he bus Imbibed the seed's of
this painful disease, It too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education aud respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their uppcurnuce, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturul
pains iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bone and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the boues of the nose fall
In, aud the victim of this awful disease become
a horrid object of commiseration, till deulh puts
a period to hi dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victim to this terrible disease, through fulling
into the hands of Iguorunt or uuskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol
son, Mercury, iVc., destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sullerer
month after month taking their noxiou or In
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a rcuewal of Life Vigor and Happiuess, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
Lis gulling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Invioluble Secrecy, and
front hi extensive practice aud observation iu
the greut Hospitals of Europe, and the first iu
this country, via i England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy In the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

THE JUDGE' STORY.
"Young man 1" said the late eminent
Judge M , at a fashionable party where
wine flowed in abundance ; "young man,
put down that glass I There is death iu
it I"
Henry Graham dropped tho cut-glnss
goblet upon tho table, startled by tho ab
rupt exclamation of the judge, and the
wino flowed in a ruby stream over tho car
pet. "Sir, what mean you ?" ho nsked, his
face flushed, and his eyes brilliant with ex
citement. "I mean,' said the judge, impressively,
"to discountenance always, in every place,
at every time and in every available) man
ner, the use of intoxicating drinks. My
young friend, you were about to place to
your lips an infernal poison I You were
doing it gnyly, thoughtlessly, recklessly.
Would you dare, if you stood within (ho
gato of death's domain, in the face of (lod
and the angels, would you dare to quaff
the draught which but a few moments ago
filled yonder shattered glass ? When you
remember the Divine edict that no drunk
ard shall inherit the kingdom of Heaven,
would you run the risk of falling under the
terrible ban ?"
The young man grew palo ; he shrank a
little before the penetrating gazo of his In
tel locutor, and his voico was slightly un
steady as ho said :
"1 do not think I quite understand you,
sir."
"Sit down, my friends," said the judge,
for tho gay company had been smitten to
Btillucss by the unusual earnestness with
which ho had spoken, and many of them
had risen to their feet, "and I will relate
to you a littlo Btory which will, perhaps,
have double interest when I tell you that
the incidents are strictly true. And to
you, Henry Graham, as one in whom I
feel a deep degree of interest, I wish par
ticularly to address myself."
Young Graham took a seat near tho
judge and gave him his attention.
"i.lurty-tive years ago," said tho judge,
"thero resided in tho township of Milan a
happy family. It consisted of a father, a
mother and three children two boys aud
a girl. The father, whom I will call John
Pontic, was a lawyer of high repute, a man
of brilliant intellect and solid education.
His wife was a beautiful woman, richly
gifted by nature, and she had received all
the cultivation that wealth cau give to his
daughters. I said they were a happy fami
ly. I think I have never known a happier.
1'eace sat all day with folded wings by
their hearthstone, and contentmeut hud
there a constant biding place.
"John Deau stood very high in the opin
ion of his townsmen, as well as with the
people of the whole district, and his name
was mentioned iu connection with the
nomination for Congress from the Milan
district. He made uo ell'ort to obtain this
nomination, but it was given him, aud at
the final election he received the hearty
support of his party, and was the suei-c ss
ful candidate It would have been strange
if ho had been otherwise than pleased with
this testimonial of esteem, and his hitherto
quiet house was thrown open for the re
ceptiou of political fpends. It was fash
ionable then, as it is in some circles at the
present day, to set forth wine for the
entertainment of compauy, and it would
have required a great deal of moral courage
on the part of Mr. Denno to make the first
innovation, nnd refuse to 'treat' tho fric iida
who had raised him to a position of so
much honor. Ho was what is called a
'temperance man ;' that is, he never drank
himself, ho had a horror of drunkenness
and could make very eloquent siet-ch at
tho monthly meeting of the Cold Water
Society. At lirst ho had a struggle with
his conscience iu regard to placing wine on
his table, but confidential friends ridiculed
his scruples, and at last ho grew to think
that dinner was very insipid which lacked
the crowning charm of wine.
"Time passed on, and having discharged
his duly at Washiugtou to the satisfaction
of his party, ho was elected for tho second
term. His talents well fitted him for the
highest rank in society, and at tho busy,
intriguing i-apitol uo party was deemed
complete without the presence of the witty
and accomplished representative' from tho
Milan district. At these convivial parties
he drank the high-flavored liquors set be
fore hi in because it would not do to seem
odd, so ho excused himself to his con
science ; but after a while he did not make
any excuse he drunk from pure lovo of so
doing.
"Wino becamo almost necessary to his
existence luxurious living had vitiated
his tastes and enervated both mind aud
body, and to prevent reaction and conso-
3uent remorse, ho endeavored to cure the
iseaso with the very poison that had en
gendered it. Thus many others have done
the same, until the intellect given of God
has been quenched in worse than idiocy,
and the star of hope has set forever in the
black shadow of the drunkard's grave 1
"Joint Deane, at tho expiration of his
second term in office, came home to his
family a confirmed iucbriatc. Tromiso
after promise ho mado to reform, but ap
petite always triumphed. Fricuds entreat
ed him ; temperauce votaries did all in
their power to save him, but they all pro
duced, at best, but a momentary feeliug of
self-reproach iu the breast of the unfortu
nate man.
"Once in his course ho was stayed for a
brief space by a terrible discovery a dis
covery which mado even his besotted soul
shrink with horror. His wife his beauti
ful aud accomplished Annie had yielded
to tho fasciuatiou of the wiuo cup, and, fol
lowing tho example of her husband, she
drank daily, and was fast becoming that
thing of which all meu speak with loathiug
a female drunkard.
"For a time John Deane retreated in af
fright from the yawning abyss which in
temperance had opened at his feet ; he
shunned the bar-room of the hotel where
he was wout to meet his wine-loving frieuds;
he abstained from the daily glasses at
homo, and for a little while it seemed as if
his feet were turniug from the 'slippery
places and taking bold upon the path ut
Truth but alas, it was only for a little
while 1 His wife might have influenced
him to cling to the hope which seemed
damning to him, bad she ouly beeu strong
er than the temptations which beset her,
but she only lent the strength of her ex
ample to the fascinations of the Wiue De
mon. "They drank together, and together
were intoxicated. Their youngest child
a tweet little au'el but three summers old
was quieted wben iU or fretful by wine,
and one day when the child had suffered
from Illness until she could uo longer re
strain her cries, her mother herself under
the tnrluence of the fatal stimulant cave
little Mary a draught tf binly. 6he was 1
thrown Into convulsions, from which noth
ing could save her, and before morning she
was taken to tho world where all children
have the constant care of a wise Father.
"Tho two boys, Arthur and William,
for awhile stood aloof from this bano of
their parent's life ; but at last tho younger,
William, fell into the habit of tasting the
contents of the glass, 'out of curiosity,' he
said, when remonstrated with by his
brother. But onco started on tho fatal
road thoro was no halting. He went down
ward rapidly. After a ten month's career
at a gambling table, he was shot by a coin
rado in a drunken brawl. To tho deaden
ed faculties of tho father and mother, this
terrible occurrenco was not an a miction
they scarco looked upon it as anything for
tvhich they should grieve, and when they
stood together over tho silent collin of that
dead boy, tho cup was there" to comfort
them 1 They went to that beverage which
has been, not inaptly, termed 'the drink of
hell,' for tho comfort which only comes
from God.
"Their handsome property was long
since squandered tho beautiful houses and
furniture passed under the hammer of the
auctioneer, and a lowly hovel received tho
drunken couple nnd their wretched son.
"Oh, tho scenes of horror which the eyes
of that son were forced to witness I A
father his noble manhood prostituted to a
vilo appetite, his intellect ruined, soul wan
dering in infidelity shunned by respecta
ble people and condemned to the society of
those as low as himself. A mother her
gentlo love turned to stolid indifference
her whole life but a scries of petty bicker
ings with the man whom she had sworn to
lovo and honor. Her child was uo longer
regarded with that holiest of all human
sentiments, a mother's love, nnd when he
could havo sought the grateful sympathy
in his pursuits which all true mothers are
so happy in giving, ho was metbydruuken
jeers and sent to the ale-house for rum.
Worse than orphnncd ! The child of shame
and contempt I Pointed at by boys of his
own age, shunned by pur-faccd little girls,
who whispered among themselves that he
was a drunkard's child 1 Judge what joy
in life there was for him !
"Conservative niit.ds may cry out against
the use of strong language in speaking of this
demon Intemperance, which yearly lays iu
the grave its thousands ; but think you the
child of these miserable parents would call
my expressions too strong V Language is
weak and inadequate to convey to you any
idea of the loathing and hatred which Ar
thur Deane fell in his heart for intoxicating
drink. Would that every man, woman
and child throughout the length nnd
breadth of the laud felt the same.
"Uat to return. Five years passed away,
during which poverty iu all its grim gaunt
ness was established in tho house of John
Deane. Starvation more than once passed
before the door aud want was an every day
guest. Domestic strife began at sunrise,
and ceased not at tho going out of day.
Oh ! that time is full of bitter memories for
Arthur Dane. But I am making a long
story, and must on to the close.
"One day. iu a lit of drunken fury, John
Deane struck his wife a blow upon the
head with a fragment of a chuir which hifd
previously fallen a sacrifice to his rage.
She fell to the floor, and the man was so
bered iu an instant by the sight. She lay
at his feet, still nnd white, beautiful iu
spite of the rnvnges her sin had made, the
blood gushing in a dark stream from her
temple, and clotting tho long, dark hair
which fell iu a neglected mass over her
shoulders.
".She was dead ! Murdered by hor owu
husband 1
"Stung by remorse nnd fear, as he saw
the cold pallor of death settling over her
features, John Deano placed the muzzle of
a pistol to his breast and in n moment lay
In side bis dead victim. There was a brief
struggle of the forces of life and death a
faint call for 'mercy,' aud ho had gone to
his account 1
"And Arthur Deann, over the bodies of
his parents took a solemn oath never, so
long ns the spark of life burned iu his
breast, to swallow one drop of intoxicating
liquor 1 And he has never broken the
vow. And now, Henry Graham, I have
loved you as my own sou you aro soon to
stand iu that near and dear relation to
wards me and I wish to warn you against
an enemy which walks tho land nlike at
midnight aud at noouday--an enemy which
is found domesticated in tho homes of the
rich nnd tho poor I Will you be admon
ished V Will you heed my counsel ? Will
jou shun more aye, a thousand limes
more than you would death, the wine
cup V Hell itself lurks iu its depths, and
eternal toimeul burns in its crystal bright
ness 1 Ileury Graham, will you beware V"
There was a pause, during which no one
spoke, aud the face of young Graham al
ternately paled and flushed. Helen M ,
the judge's fair daughter, watched him iu
breathless suspense, for in two weeks she
was to become Henry Graham's wife.
''If anything more is needed, said the
judge, "know ull of you that John JVnnu
was my father, and tho wife ho murdered
was tho mother who bore me 1"
Graham stepped forward and took the
hand of the judge in both of bis.
"It is enough," he said solemnly, the
light of a new purposo sinking iulo his
eyes ; "henceforth 1 will shun everything
that can intoxicate, and may tied deal
with me as I keep the vow !'
It was even so.
Wiue never entered tho home of Henry
Graham, and water pure, beautiful water,
fref.h from the sweet fouutaiu of the earth,
was his daily drink.
Tho sweet face of Helen Graham never
had cause to blush for the conduct of her
husband, and when iu after years the peo
ple mado him Governor of his uative Slate,
and his house was the stronghold of hospi
tality, wino was never seen upon his table,
but ho otlered to his guests instead the
drink that God himself provided free on
every hillside clear, cold water.
To I'lkify A Room. Set a pitcher of
water in a room, and iu a few hours it will
have absorbed all the respired gases in
the room, the air of which will become pur
er, but the water perfectly filthy. The
colder the water is the greater the capacity
to coutain theso gasses. At ordinary tem
perature a pail of water will contain a pint
of carbonic acid gas aud several pints of
ammonia. The capacity is nearly doubled
bv reducing tho water to tho temperature
of ice. Heuco water kept in a room awhile
is always unlit for use. For the same rea
son the water from a pump should always
be pumped out in the morning before any
of it is used, lmpuro water is more injuri
ous thau impure air.

How Coffee was Discovered. To
ward the middle of the 15th century n poor
Arab was travelling iu Abyssiunia, and
finding himself weak and weary from fa
tigue he stopped near a grovo. Being in
want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut down
a trno which happened to be covered with
dried berries. His meal being cooked and
eaten, the traveller discovered that these
half-burned berries were frngrant. Ho
collected a number of these, and on crush
ing them with a stone ho fouud their aro
ma increased ;to a great extent. While
wondering at this, he nccidently let fall the
substance into a cau which contained his
scanty supply of water. Lo, what a mira
cle 1 Tho almost putrid liquid was instant
ly purified ; he brought it to his lips, it
was fresh and agreeable, nnd in a moment
after the traveller had so far recovered his
sttcngth and energy as to be nblo to resume
his journey. Tho lucky Arab gathered as
many berries as ho could, and having nr
rived at Aden, in Arabia, ho informed the
Mufti of his discovery. That worthy dive
was an inveterate opium smoker, who had
been suffering for years from the influence
of that poisonous drug. Ho tried au infu
sion of roasted berries and was so delight
ed at the recovery of his former vigor, that
in gratitude to the tree he called it canuah,
which iu Arab signifies force. And this
is the manner in which coffee was dis
covered. Women in VinoiN'iA is 1776. Par
ton finds this among the statutes of Vir
ginia in 177G :
"Whereas nftimes many babbling wo
men often slander and scandalize their
neighbors for which tho poore husbands
are often brought into chargeable and vex
atious suites, and caste in greate damages,
Beo it therefore enacted by tha authority
aforesaid, after judgment passed for the
damages, the woman shall be punished by
ducking, and if the slander bo so enormous
as to be adjudged at a greater damage than
five hundred pounds of tobacco adjudged
against the husband, if he refuse to pay the
tobacco."
The enjoyment of woman's rights seems
to have been attended with somewhat of
peril iu the Old Dominion in the good old
days of 177C. Meu in thatday regarded wo
men as disposed lo exercise more rights
than were compatible with the peaco of so
ciety and the financial interests of their
connubial partners. Miss Anthony will
add a new string to her lash as she reads
this evidence of man's barbarism aud iuliu

If husbands are to be mistaken in "Dol
ly urden" dresses, as was an unfortunat"
husband in this city, the eooncr tho fash
ion is squelched the better will it be for the
peace of fociety. The husband in questiou
one night missed from the supper table his
wife Matilda, and iuquired of his little boy
whither she had gone, aud just then the
diuing-room door opened nmla ladyeuter
ed. Tho husband observed a wild look in
her eye, nnd also noticed that she was at
tired in an outlandish style, having on, ns
he says, a dress with sunflowers, and cab
bages nnd pumpkins worked nil over it,
nnd a lot of suakes tquinuiug round for a
background.
Rising, the man said,
"Msdam, whom do you wish to see ?"
and then said aside, Poor thing, she is cra
zy." This last remark settled tho business for
him, as the wierd female made a bolt and
tightly grasix-d his Adam's apple and chok
ed him until his face assumed the color of
a banner of the Commons. After she had
en joyed a surfeit of choking her httsbaud,
she flopped into a chair, und with tears
coursing down her checks, exclaimed :
"That I should ever live lo hear my hus
band say that I was crazy !"
This amused the husband, and elevating
himself to his full proportions, he said :
"You can't blame me, madam, for sup
posing you au insane woman ; aud now
that 1 know you are tho mother of these
interesting children, you will have the
kiuducss lo retire to the sanctity of your
chamber ami peel yourself of that piece of
lurmture, chintz or winuow curtain, or
whatever it is you tall it V"
" Window curtain, chiutz?" said the
spouse, "why it's you that's out of your
head. That is a Dolly Yardcu, and a ve
ry pretty pattern, too."
"Madam," replied tho husband, "we
may bo out of our head, but if that is a
Dolly Yarden, wo are decidedly out of
pocket. Why, it looks like a circus dress ;
and the idea of a woman at your time of
life "
"Yes, your time of life. Tho next thing
I suppose you will bo practising the trap

to give a man tho delirium truner.s to look

now just bounce out of Lero with that Fo
jeo battle dag, or you'll scare the baby to

There was an ominous pause forn mo
ment nud, then the oldest daughter said :
"Why, you aught to be ashamed of your
self, father. It's all the style, nnd 1 am
going to have one too ; there now."
"Yen, and I want oue, nil the girls have
got them," Thus spoke Maria, the second
eldest.
"Any more ?" gnsped tho husband, -'are
there any more ? Hadn't the baby better
have one ? I guess I'll get one myself.

as to the sanity of ouu of the parties con

The witness gazed In bewilderment a(

Still in vain.

No answer yet.
"Let mo tackle him,'-' said Cockburn.
