SECRET DISEASES.—GIoots Strictures,
Seminal Weakness, Pain in the Loins, Affections
of the Kidneys, and all those peculiar affections
arising from a secret habit, particularly the youth
of both sexes, which if not cured, produces con
stitutional debility, rendering marriage impossi
ble, and in the end destroys both Mind and Body.
Young Men,
especially, who have become the victims of Sol
itary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thou
sands of young mon of the most exalted talents
and brilliant intellect, who might otherwise have
entranced listening senates with the thunders ~f
eloquence, or waked to testacy the living lyre,
may call with full confidence.
Married Persons,
or those contemplating marriage, boring aware of
physical weakness, should immediately consult
Dr. J., and be restored to perfect health.
Dr. Johnston,

Baltimore Street, east side up the steps. eir Be
particular in obtaining the name and number, or
you will mistake the place.
A cure warranted, or no charge made, in from
one to two days.
Tan. NOTICIL—Dr. Johnston's office is in his
dwelling, up the steps. His very extensive prac
tice is a sufficient guarantee, that he is the only
propel physician to apply to.
Dr. Johston, member of the Royal College of
Surgeons. London, graduate from one of the
most eminent Colleges of the United States, and
the greater port of whose life has been spent in
the:Hospitals of London, Paris Philadelphia, and
elsewhere, has effected some of the most aston
ishing cures that were over known, many trot,-
bled with ringing in the ears and head when
asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sud
den sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blush
ing attended sometimes with derangement of
mind, were cured immediately.
A CEUTAIN Disease.—lt is a melancholy fact
that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease
owing to the unskilfulness of ignorant pretenders
who by the use of that deadly poison Mercury,
ruin the Constitution, causing the most serious
symptoms of that dreadful disease to make their
appearance, such as affections of the bead, nose,
throat, skin, etc., progressing with frightful ra
pidity till death puts a period to their dreadful
suffering, hy sending them io that Bourne whence
no traveler returns.
TAKE PARTICULAII NOTICE.—Young men who
have injured themselves by a certain practice in
dulged in when alone—a habit ftequently learned
from evil companions, or at school—the effects
of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and
if not cured renders marriage impossible, and de
stroys both mind and body.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, and the darling of his parents should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence oldeviating from the path
of nature end indulging in a certain secret habit.
Such persons before contemplating Marriage,
should reflect that ft sound mind and body arc
the most necessary requisites to promote connu
bial happiness, Indeed without these, the jour
ney through life becomes a weary pilgrimage,
the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the
mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled
with the melancholy reflection, that the happiness
of another becomes blighted with our own.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.—Dr.. 7. address
es young men, end all who have injured them
selves by private and improper indulgence.
IMPUISSANA.—These are some of the sail and
melancholy effects produced by early habits of
youth, viz: Weakness of the Back and Limbs,
Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of
Muscular power, Palpitation of the Heart Dys
pepsia, Nervous Irritability, Detangements of the
Digestive Functions, General Debility Symptoms
of Consumption, &c.
MENTALLY—The fearful cfkrts on the mind are
much to be dreaded; Loss of memory, Confusion
of ideas, Depression of Spirit, Evil Forbodings;
Aversion to Society, Self Distrust, Love of Soli
tude, &c., are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages,can now judge
what is the cause of their declining health. Los
ing their vigor, becoming weak, pale and cm:win
ced, have singular appearance about the eyes,
tough and symtoms of consumption.
Married persons, or those contemplating mer
riage, being aware of physical weakness, should
immedistely consult Dr. J. and be restored toper
feet health. Office, No. 7, South Frederick-St.,
Baltimore, Md.
ALL SURGICAL OPERATIONS PERFORMED.—
N. B. Let no false delicacy prevent you, but ap
ply immediately either personally or by letter.
Skin Diseases Speedily Cured,
To thiauxouns.—The many thousands cured
at this 'agitation within the last ten years, nud
the numerous important Surgical Operations
performed by Pr. J.,w•itnessed by the Reporters of
the papers, and many other persons, notices of
which have appeared again and again before the
public, is a sufficient guar...tee that the afflicted
still find a skillful and honorable phys'cian.
. .
As there are so many ignorant and worthless
quacks advertising themselves as Physieians,ruin
leg the health of the afflicted Dr. Johnston would
say to those unacquainted with his reputation that
his Credentials or Diplomas always hang in his
office.
Weakness of the organs immediately mired,
and full vigor restored

amined ;hem, recommend and speak of them in
the highest terms of approbation, and have pro
nounced them the only safe rods in use in this or
any other country, for the protection of Lives and
Property. One advantage is to divide and throw
back a part of the electric fluid harmless to the
clouds; in time of a stroke this entibleS the rod

the earth without the slightest clang,er of leaving

I hove this day carefully inspected a conductor
or Lightning Rod, with vane and index, erected
by Mr. Thomas Armitage, on Bellevue House,
Gloucester, anti have no hesitation in saying that
it is not only the hest that I have ever seen, but
that it is the only one I have yet examined that
is constructed on strictly scientific princif.les. It
is with much pleasure that I recommend this
conductor to the attention of owners of buildings.
11. 111c1IURTRIF
I am well satisfied that the Magnetic Lightning
Itod, manufactured by Mr. Thomas Armitage, of
Philadelphia, is the best that has ever been made•
I have spent several years iu the study of the hcas
of electricity and magnetism, and have no hesita
tion in saying that these Rods are constructed
upon the only principle of safety. Tho electric
shock is received nod dispensed by the magnet at
the top of the rod, and it would be impossible,
according to the laws of attraction and repulsion,
fern building to be injured by a stroke of light
ning when protected by one of these rods. I
bare been acquainted with Mr. Armitage fur sev
eral years, and before he commenced the mane•
facture of these rods I examined the principle on
which they are constructed, and felt convinced
that their adoption would be attended with com
plete success. The increasing demand for these
rods, and the extensive sales in all parts of the
country, is ample commendation of their utility
and superiority.

The following extract is token from nn editori
al in the Germantown Telegraph, edited by Major
FREAB
"The horns rod Once(' upon our dwelling we
have had taken down; and another ereted by Mr.
ARMITAGE, to which we would call the attention
of our farmers and readers generally. It is put
up on true scientific principles, and is a rod that
has been approved by the highest authority, and
will bear the most thorough examination. Those
who hero been deceived, as we have been, should
Mee no time in having a ',roper protection against
lightning, substituted. The cost is a mere bag
atelle when compared with the entire safety of
our houses and barns agninst this destructive ele
ment. Mr. ARMITAOCS advertisement will be
found in the columns of this paper; and we feel
as though we were performing an imperious duty
to the community, by thus inviting to it general
attention."

Mr ot;An Sin: After n trial of many weeks, it
affords megreat pleasure to inform von that I
am highly delighted with the lightning
rod yott
placed upon toy house at Ilustleton. As for us
my chemical knowledge enables me to perform
an opinion, I am satisfied you have developed
the correct principles in the adaptation of rods to
protect property from destruction by lightning; as
soon as the advantages of your arrangements ore
understood, I am convinced that few persons will
be found so reckless as to fail to avail themselves
of the protection afforded by your rods. Wishing
you all success in your enterprise,
I am yours truly ,
