CDFFCR NOT, WHEN A CURE is guaranteed in all stages of SECRET DISEASES, SELF-ABUSE NERVOUS De bility, Striotures, Gleets, Gravel, Diabetes, Diseases of the Kidneva and Bladder, Mer curial Rheumatism, Scrotals, Pains in the Bones and Ankles, Diseases of the Lungs, Throat, Nose and Eyes, Ulcers upon the or limbs, Cancers, Dropsy, Edileplio ~ETts, St. Vita's Dance, arid all diseases aris ing from a derangement of tbe Sexual Or gans. Such i s nervous trembling, less of memory, loss of power, general weakness, dimness of vision with peculiar spots appearing before the yo. lusa of sight, wskelulne.s ilyeoepaia, Liver dt-ease, eruptions upon the five, pain in the luck and head, female irregularities and all improper discharges from both sexes. It iD.itte s not ftom what cause the disease origi trated, however long standing or obeli .ate the cnse.recoveiy is certain.and in s shorter lime than a permanent cure can be effected by 3ny other treaimeiit,even utter lire disease has Iraf fled the skill ol eminent |livr-icians and resist ed all the nnaim ol cure. Tbe medicines are pleasant without oJor, causing t.o sickness ond bee Irom mercury or balsam. During 2(1 i years of practice, f have rescued Irom lire jaws of death many thousands, who, in the last stages of the above mentioned diseases hud bean given up lo die hy their physicians, t which wannuls me in promising to the nlilit-l ed, wbo may place themselves under iny s per.eel ami most exactly cure. Secret' dn>- | eases arc tbe greatest enemies to health, as I they arc the fits! cause ef Consumption, bcrof- | | lila ami many other diseases, and uhould he a terror to tbe human family. Asa permanent < cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority of i the caars falling into tbe bands ol incotnpe- j tent persona, wbo not only fail tu euro tbe , iliieaurs but ruin the constitution, tilling the | system with mercury, which, with the disease, ' hastens the sutlarei into a rapid consumption. i Rut should the disease and the treatment , not cause death vpecdilv and the victim mar ries, the disease i- entailed upon children, who ; are bom with feeble constitutions, and the , current of life corrupted by a virus which be- | trays itself in Scrofula, Tetter, Ulcers, Erup- , lions and other affections of the akin. Eyes, , Throat ant) Lungs, eutailing them to an early | giave. I Srlf-anuse is another formidable enemy to health, for nothing else in the diesJ catalogue ( of human diseases causes so destructive a drain upon ibo syrlem, drawing i:s thousands of ( victims through a few years uf suffering down lo an untimely g'ave. It destroys tho Ner- 1 vous system, rapidly wastes away the energies 1 of life, csures mental derangement, prevent.. ! the proper development of the system, dis- 1 qualifies for marriage, society, busiiieas, and 1 all earthly happiness, sod leaves the sufferer 1 wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to - eon.umption and a Haiti of evils more to he 1 dreadid than death itself. With the fullest ronfidence I assure the unfortunate viotisi* ol self-abuse that a permanent and speedy cure 1 -can be effected, and with the abandonment of 1 ruinous practices my patieuts can be restored no robust, vigorous health. The afflicted are cautioned against the use of falsi,! Medicines, ftr there ale so many inge nious snares in thecolumns of tin) public prints to catch and rob the unwaiy svfforera that millidht have their constitutions mined by tbe vjle compound* of quack doctors, nr the vqually poisonous nostrum, vended as 'Patent Medicines.' 1 have carefully analysed many of tbe 10 called Patent Medicines and find that nearly all ol tbem contain Corrosive fcSunii. mate, which ia une of the strongest prepara tions of meicury and a deadly poison, which instead or curing the disease disables the sys tem fur life. 'I bree-fourlhs of lha patent nosltums now in use are pul up by unprincipled and ignore ant peranna, who do not ruideratand even the alphabet of the Materia Medica, and are equal ly as destitute of any knowledge of the buutan system, having one object only in view, aud ibat to make money regardless of consequence.
