D
R. JOHNSTON,
Physician of this celebrated Institution, has
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual remedy In the world for nil
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of tho Buck or Limhs, Strlctnres,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili
ty, Nervousness, Dyspopsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Henrt, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Bight or Giddiness, Disease of tho Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, AfTcctionsofLivcr, 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 Mnriucrs
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, dec., Impos
sible. iOUNGMEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant Intellect, who mlirbt other
wise have entranced listening Senntes with tho
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full contldeuce.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
mnrriHge, nwnre of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procrcntlv Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide lu his honor ns a gentle
man, and confidently rely unon his skill as a Pliv
slciun. ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impotency, Loss of Power, immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable nnd mnrrlngc Impossible Is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young pcrsonsare too apt to commit excesses
from not being nwnre of the dreadful consciences
thnt 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 thnn by tho prudent t Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Proereative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay niul
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined In health by nuleamcd preten
ders who keep them trifling month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, nnd the greater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Prls, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
1ms rflected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known j many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bushfuluess, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes w ith derangement of mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresres all those who have Injurrd
themselves by Improper indulgence and soiitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for cither business, study, society or mar
rln gc.
These arc some of tbe end und melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
BHcknnd Head, Dimucss of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Pswer, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspopsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, Ac.
Mentally The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Ccif-DiMrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of the
evils produced.
TuorsANUS of persons of ail ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
und emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough aud symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a certain prac
tice indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, tho
cllecls of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
Whut a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should he
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons must, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a souud mind aud bo.ly are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial 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 huppiii'.'ss of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided aud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has Imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that uu
ill-timed seuse of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters Mm front applying to those who, froin
education and respectability, can alone befriend
hi in, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural
pains lu the head aud limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shiu bones and urius,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till nt lust the
Imliite of the mouth or tho bones of the nose fill
n, and the victim of this uwfnl disease lieco iics
a horrid object of commiseration, till death put,
a period to bis dreadful suticriug, by sending
him to " thnt Undiscovered Country from whcuc)
uo traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
Into the bauds of Ignoruiil or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Sc., destroy the e;u titution, and
iueupuble of curing, keep the unl.uppv sufferer
mouth after mouth taking then anxious or In
jurious coiiiHuuds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Lite Vigor and llappinws, hi des
pair leuve blin with ruined Health to sigh over
his galling disupoiiilmeiit.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnstom pledges him
self to preserve the most luviohshie beerecy, und
from his extensive practice aud observations In
the great Hospitals of Eurojie, and the first lu
this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia
aud elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy aud effectual remedy lu the world
for all diseases of Imprudence.

Wm. II. Seward a Sketch of his
Life.
"William Henry Seward vns born iu Flo
rida, OmnRO county, N. Y., May ltitli,
1S01. His father, Samuel S. Seward, wns a
physician, nnd combined with his profes
sion a large nieruitntilc business, in which
ho amassed a fortune. William Henry re
ceived n liberal education, prt.parin? Tor
college nt an acatlamy at Goshen, New
York, nnd entering upon the sophomore
elites at Union College at the figo 0' lil teiti,
being graduated iu 181'J. Duritur his sen
ior yeur in college lie taught school for
some six mouths in Georgia, and while
there his impression of slavery wero the
germ of his latter iutenso. hostility to tlmt
institution. After taking his degree he
studied law, was admitted to the bar in
1822, and removed to Auburn to form a
law partnership with Judi;e Miller, whoso
youngest daughter, Francis, he married in
1821. In the same year lie took his Hi st
step in political life by preparing an ad
dress lor the Republican Convention de
clining against the "Albany regency," as
the Democratic leaders wero then called.
llo lirst took ground against slavery in
an oration at Syracuse iu 1825, taking very
advanced steps tor those days, though
nearly the same as he took iu later years
when the anti-slavery contest became bit
ter, lu 1828 ho was a prominent loader
among tho young men. as a supporter of
Johu tiniticy Adatus for re-election, nnd
soon atlerward decliued a nomination fur
Congress, but two years later, as an Auti
Masou, he accepted a nomination for Mate
Senator, and was elected by 2,U(J0 majori
ty, completely reversing a large nd verse
majority of the preceding year, lu the
Senate he distinguished himself as an advo
cate of reform in the Stale educational sys
tem und ns the melioiation of prison disei
p i !. lie made a rapid tour iu En rope in
ISoM aud published in the Albany Evening
Journal the results of his observation, lie
was defeated as Whig candidate for Gov
ernor iu 1834, although running ahead of
his ticket, but in a hotly contested election
in iH:iS was elected by ii,U(.MJ majority over
his former competitor, W. I... Marcy. As
Governor his policy was marked by great
wisdom at a period of universal financial
and political complexity, lie was espe
cially nu advocate of a system of free
schools and though his policy wns vehe
mently condemned by his political oppo
nents, it was in l iter years adopted. His
gubernatorial career "was further distin
guished by the laving of the foundation fur
reform in the 2sew York Statu courts
which were divested of the dreary techni
calities of English law, by the geological
survey of the Stale, the establishment of a
general banking system, the abolition of
imprisonment for debt and, above all, by
the "Virginia Controversy" which arose
between Governor Seward and tho Gover
nor of Virginia in relation to slavery aud
the giving up of criminals charged with ab
ducting slaves, Governor Seward took the
"higher law" ground, viz : that no local
or State legislation could overcome laws
based ou the higher standards of humau
jus' ice. t
In 1842, Mr. St: ward having served ns
Governor with singular honor for two
terms, declining it reuomitialioti and devot
ed himself to the law, acquiring a lucrative
practice particularly in patent cases. His
noble, disposition t rompied him oftoti not
only to oiler his services gratuitously iu
cases of unjust accusations, but also to fur
nish pecuniary means for defense, especial
ly in cases involving fugitive slaves, lu
1S11 lie supported with energy Henry ("ay
for President, as also Gen. Taylor iu IS IS.
Willi the election of the latter nnd the pre
pondorauee) of the Whig party iu tho New
York legislature, Mr. Seward was elected
U. S. Senator in place of General Dix, by a
voti of 121 to 'M for all others. lu Con
gress he immediately became the leader of
the administration parly, jind both in de
bale and iu his writings ho persistetity op
posed tho nu'grtssiens of the slave-holders.
In a speech on the admission of California
iu lH.iO hu first used the phrase "higher
law," which aroused much excited com
ment InCongtess and the public press. His
speeches in Congress nnd his views on tho
annexation ot Cuba, tho Tarilf. the Drcd
Scott decision, the I'acilic railroad, the as
sault on Senator Sumner, and other impor
tant questions, were always theme of gen
eral discussion,
Iu 18u0 the Whig party adopted a plat
form favoring tho slavery compromise ol
L-oU and nominated General Scott whom,
as a personal friend Senator Seward en
dorsed, without, however, approving the
ji atform. From 18."0 to lHuO his labors
tu opposition to slavery weie steady and
consistent and on a free soil platform he
supported with great zeal. Col. Fremont in
lS.jli. In an election speech nt Hochester
iu 1S58, he declared that the conllict be
tween the North and South was an "irre
pressible" one and involved the; question ef
free or slave labor through Hie whole na
tion. Mr. Seward iu lGO was a prominent
candidate lor the Presidency, and at the
National Republican Convention received
ou the lirst ballot 17:1 votes to 10J lor Mr.
Lincoln, the successful nominee. Iu the
succeeding campaign Mr. Seward vigorous
ly supported Mr. Lincoln, nnd on the ae
ct Msiou of tho latter to cilice was appoint
ed Secretary of State. This ollico dining
the war hu tilled with ability nnd success,
his services being especially noteworthy iu
the correspondence with England ou the
Trent affair, and in his advice to Mr. Lin
coln favoring the Proclamation of Emanci
pation. When President Lincoln was assassinat
ed iu April, lSOo. Mr. Seward was confin
ed to his bed. At nearly the same hour
with the nssassinaliou of the President, a
powerful man, subsequently ascertained to
be Payne, called at Mr. Seward's apart
metlls und under the pretense of bearing a
pteseriptiou was shown to tho sick-room.
Hushing to the bed he indicted several
dangerous slabs mi his viclims's throat.
Supposing that his work was complete, hu
turned to leave, when he was' met at the
door of the chamber by Mr. Frederick

wounds. In his haste, however, the mur
derer fatlud to complete Ids work. Mr.
Seward carried his scars to the grave, and
his voice was perceptibly alleeted by the
wounds.
Uuder President Johnson he was con
tinued in hi ollico as Secretary of Slate
aud with him drifted into the Conservative
movement, aud favored the "Philadelphia
Convention" of 181 ill. Ho also accompa
nied Pysidout Johnson ou his celebrated
tour, usually ueuomiuuted "swinging
around the circle." Soou after President's
Gram's election he started on a tour
around the world, visiting Japan, India
aud various places in Europe. He was
everywhere received with marked disline
1 tton and respect. Since his return Mr.
AMERICAN
Seward hns been engaged in editing a work,
giving a summary of his travels, and in tho
revision of this ho was occupied nt tho
timo of his death. Tho results of his latest

will soon be published.
Tho labors of Mr. Seward have not been
entirely of a political nature, and several
public works'and orntions bear ample tes

better examples of mortuary cloquenco
than Mr. Seward's Eulogies of Henry
Clay, Daniel Webster, and in later life, of
Senntors Clayton, Rusk nnd Roderick. His
Invention at tho terms "higher law" and
"irrepressible conllict" will alono render
his name reuowncd in tho political annals
of America, while his vast political labors
iu the cause of oppressed humanity will as
certainly render it blessed.

MARCH OF THE DISEASE
CANADA.
FROM
Rochester, Oct. 22. The Canadian
horse disease is on the increase, nnd there
ate few horses iu tho city that aro not af
fected. The Blreet railway company have
suspended ierutions, all their horses be
ing sick. The livery stables nnd the ex
press companies have also suspended.
There is hardly a horse to be seen ill the
street, nnd not a farmer's team in sight
hereabouts.
The disease is raging with great fervor
among all the stables in Western N'ew
York. It is a form of intlucnza, nnd is
classed by veterinary authorities under
three heads, viz : the catarrhal, rheumatic
and the gastro erysipelatus forms. Tho
disease, which has made such havoc in the
stables of liull'alo, Niagara, nnd this city,
is of a
CATARRHAL CHARACTER,
its first noticeable symptoms being a flow
of tears from the eyes, a watery discharge
from the nose, general languor, "followed by
I a cough.
I In the early stages of the disease the
I membranes of the nose, are pale, ofn lenden
; color, while the eyes present a reddish np-
pctirntice. The veteriuaries also report
some cases, wlncli, wlierever they appear,
prove fatal, ns commencing with a chill
succeeded by a general feverish condition,
manifested by heat of the mouth, mem
branes of the eyes, and uose reddened,
pu'se frequent, though soft and easily com
pressed, respiration quickened, and some
times laborious. At this stage the bowels
may be sluggish, miliary organs inactive,
nnd the discharge from the nose often as
suming a yellowish or greenish appearance.
TI1K DISKAS1C
wliich has frequently appeared among
horses in Europe, usually runs its courae
within ten days. There "has been great de
vastation among the horses hero aud in
liull'alo, owing to improper treatment nl
an imperfect knowledge of the disease.
A meant bath has been put in operation,
and it is claimed with good eilect. Curi
ously enough, canal horses are not sulier
ing, at least there are no cases in the bams
in this city.
It struck Rochester about the litst of
last week, and it has spread with astonish
ing rapidity. It is supposed that seven
tenths of tho horses in the city are more or
less alleeted by this epidemic.
COMMERCIAL MEX IX JtUH ALO ALAKMLD
AT ITS: srtiliAD.
UfFFALO, Oct. 22.--The hotse disease
here has become a public calamity. Many
j branches of business are entirely suspended
! for want of animals to do ordinary trans
; porttiliou. The street railroads are run
I ning with half their usual force, und ex-
Eeet to stop in a day or two. The omni
us lines have slopped, all their hotses bc
j ing sick. The disease has appeared among
! the canal horses, and commercial uieu are
i alarmed.
UOSTOX SUFKICKIXO MANY IIOU.SICS AF
FECTED. Uostox. Oct. 22. Tho horse disease has
broken out here. Many animals are alrea
dy alleeted, but no fatal cases are reported.
I'liKSCItlPTIOX FOIt THE CUItK OF THE
DISEASE.
The following description of tho disease
aud its trcatmetit is taken from the liull'.i
lo Commercial, anil is worth preserving :
The early symptoms of this disease aro
said to be a light, hacking cough and gen
eral dullness, with an indisposition to
move ; cold ears aud legs, with a watery
discharge from the nostrils. At lirst the
nasal membrane is pale, but as the disease
advances it becomes highly colored, and
the mucous discharge changes to a greeu
ish or a yellow color, ond the pulse be
comes more rapid. As soon us theee
symptoms upx-ar tho animal should be
kept warm in the stable by blanketing, aud
warm bran mashes should be given.
A letter fii.ni Dr. C. Elliott, veterinary
surgeon of St. Catharines, contains what
have proved to be valuable suggestions for
the treatment of hoines sulleiing from the
epidemic now so prevalent among these au
imal Dr. Elliott advises that the stable
be .-11 ventilated, the horses blanketed,
aud chloride of lime sprinkled through the
stable every inoining. The nostrils should
be sponged out two or three times a day if
the mucous adheres thereto. Tho food
should consist of brail, with a little oats,
and a moderate quantity of iiay. If the
bowels are costive a half a pint of raw liu
seed oil may be givrn. but it is probable
that the mash will cause sutlicicut relaxa
tion. Prescription No. 2 (givcu below) should
be administered every morning and even
ing. If the throat should be sore which
call be ascertained by pressute of the hand
upou the larynx-about two lablespoolifuls
of prescription No. 1 (also given below)
should be rubbed iu. So long as the dis
ease is eonlined to the l.unyx there is but
very little danger, but should it descend to
tho lungs wliich will be it.dicalcd by the
continued standing up of the nuiuuil, eold
extremities aud labored brenlhiug a half
pound of mustard should be mixed with
two ounces of turpentine and water to tho
consistency of thick cream, aud thu mix
ture rubbed well iu behind tho forelegs or
over tho regiou of the lungs. The legs
should be bandaged if cold. If the pulsa
should be more than fifty-live per minute,
111 teen drooiiol r lemming's tincture ol uco
ti tie should bo given every two hours, and
if tho breathing still contiuues labored and
tho pulse grows more rapid, apply the
mustard again, and give one ami a half
drachms of calomel for two mornings. The
following are the prescriptions referred to :
Prescription No. 1. Linseed oil, oun
ces ; liquor ammonia fort, 1 ounce. Mix
all together in a four ouuee bottle and ap
ply to the throat, if you think it necessary
to do 19.

How to Live Loxo. They live longest
as a class, who livo calm and even lives,
mentally nnd physically, who aro most ex
empt from the turmoils nnd shocks nnd
strains that arc incident to human exist
ence, and are assured of to-morrow's bread.
There is no one thing which has such a
direct influence in promoting longevity as
an assurance, felt to lie well grounded,
of a comfortable provision for life for all
ordinary waut3 of our station. Not long
ago a man died iu the poorhouse in Eng
Innd, where he had. beeu taken care of for
ninety years ; ho had no ;nnxiely for to
morrow's bread ; lio, had .no quarter's day
to provide against. In default of which wife
and children would be turned into tho
street from the doors of the elegant brown
mansion. Ho had no notes to meet in tho
bank, which, if not paid by a day or hour,
would iuvolve protest or financial ruin.
Ah, this load of doubt t how it grinds one's
manhood to powder how it shames one's
bouor how it has driven to desperation,
to drunkenness, to suicide, to murder!

beds of thorns,- iiierco through tho bo

. Remedy Fort Catarimi. A writer in
an exchange says : "I had this disease eight
years or more. It made such a stench that
my family could hardly bear me iu their
presence. One day I decided to try to cure
myself. This is theexperimcnt and the re
sult : I took a vial that would hold a g 11,
and filled it nearly full of water, added to
it a piece of alum the size of a common
chestuut or hickory nut ; to this I added
fifteen or twenty dtops of Raker's Pain Pa
nacea, making it as strong as it could be
borne. It would bo well to pulverize tho
alum before putting it into the vial. After
the nlum is dissolved, turn out into the
Land a leaspoonl'ul or so of tho mixture,
and snuff it up the nose two or three times ;
pet it well up the nose. If it runs into the
throat it docs no harm ; spit it out. Re
peat this operatinu two or three limes a
day. This simple medicine cured me iu
about eight weeks or so. It is some six or
eight years since 1 tried this, but 1 am all
right now. It was worth more to me than
the gold of India or Peru.
Pkesekved Citiiox. Cut ript citrons
in two, peel them and scrape out tho core
carefully removing every seed. For live
pounds of citron thus prepared, add one
ounce of ginger root, bruised but not ground.
Put them in water to cover the citroti, nnd
boil until a fork will pierce them easily. To
the live pounds allow three pounds of good
sugar, and two fresh lemons. With a
sharp knife shave olVthe yellow peel of the
lemons in the sugar, being careful not to
cut the white of the ritid. Then squeeze
'.he juice of the lemon into tho sugar.
Heuk is an anecdote told by one minis
ter about another, A certain elder, who
wan noted for bein seldom animated, aud
seldom very bri -f, oueo kept a congrega
tion wailing .i long time I". ,r ' hii appear
ance, und when nt last ho did como, he
preached them a sermon of unusual length
u the text, "Feed my Lambs." He had
not finished when the original old minister
known as "Camp meeting John," rose
from a seal in the congregation and said :
'I'rotlu r, I have had some experience in
raising lambs myself, and I have found
! that the following rules are absolutely es-
setilial to successful lamb raising : First,
give Ihem food in season ; secondly, give
them a little at n timo ; and third, give it
to them warm."
During a circus performance at Sheffield,

The Rio Grande Commission to investi

A blacksmith brought up a son, to whom

FiLTUiiiN'o i'lDKtt. We have never
found it necessary to use other than the
common straw filter in use nt eider mills,
bulwuhavu seen it recommended lu pass
cidt-u, before fermentation, through a filter
of sand and charcoal made as follows :
Clear river sand, rather roars-.', is hcsl ;
put Ihe sand and charcoal into a tub or vat
for the purpose, in alternate layers, having
the coal reduced to pieces from hall'an inch
to an inch square ; lay a piece ol flannel
over the top, and as fast as the cider comes
from the press pass it through tho filter,
whereby all tho poiuaeo mid other im
purities tiro removed. If tho flannel be
comes so loaded with pomace as to impede
the passage of the cider, it may be removed
and washed and a new piece substituted.
It this filtration is well done, ns the cider
passes from tho sand it will appear to bo
ierfect!y pure, and should be immediately
put into casks and placed in the cellar.

How Huttek is SroiLED. A farmer's
wife writing to tho Ohio Farmer says:
"Of all the products of tho farm, butter is
most liable to bo tainted by noxious odors
floating in tho almofphcrc. Our people
laid somo veal iu the cellar, from which a
little blood flowed out, and was neglected
until it couimencd to smell. The result
wa. thnt a jar of butler which I was then
melting, semi led and tasted like spoiled
ecf." Another Udp reader observes that
there is a pond of filthy, etagnant water a
few hundred feet from their house, from
which on offensive effluvium would bo
borne on the breeze directly to tho milk
room, when tho wind was in a certain di:
reetion, the result of which was thnt cream
nnd butler would taste liko tho disagree
able rdor coming from that pond. As soon
ns the pond was draioed we had uo more
damaged butter.

AViNTF.ruxo Vegetaiiles. It is ono
thing to raise good a crop of vegetables,
but quite another to keep them safely
through winter. It is doubtless, the fact
that more vegetables are injured by beat
iu winter than by cold, because most por
sons crowd such things together in largo
quantities, and then cover deeply to keep
out the frost. When placed in cellars the
windows arc.closed, nnd in tho more North
ern States, bunked up with, porhaps, fresh
horse manure from tho stable. Of course
it is necessary to keep potators, turnips,
beets, aud simi.nr fruits from freezing ;
still they would be of far belter quality if
kept ns cold ns possible, and not actually
frozen. Turnips and beets, in particular,
ore vpry liable to heat, and become spoiled
if a large quantity is placed together ; and
potatoes nre often injured by being stored
in largo bins, instead of being put in bar
rc"s or spread thinly upon shelves in a dark
cellar. When buried in the ground, small
heaps, say 20 to 30 bushels iu each, is best.
