He who means to do well, without doing what he
means nntil the arrival of some favorable opportu-

comes a woman.
A miser is bnt a human version of the turnspit
dog that toiled every day to roast meat for another
person's eating.
Men boast of great actions, whiob are oftener.the

FOR THE CURE OF OLD CHRONIC, MERCURIAL,
SYPHILITIC AND ALL PRIVATE DISEASES, with-
out Meronry, hindrance from business, orother exposure
to friends, and a cure guarantied in all cases.
The unparalleled success which hasattended Dr. jilel
practice in all parts of the United States and Enpope—the
many remarkable cures he has affected, which were pro-
nounced incurable by the most eminsnt physicians, justi-
fies him in offering his services to the confidence of the
unfortunate. The following are some of the diseases
termed Private," and óf which, in connection with
newly discovered remedies, Dr. James permanently erari-
cates, namely: Syphilis, primaiy, secondary and tertiary,
Strictures, Urethral discharges,Gleet, Gonnorrhoea, Noo
tnrnal Emissions, Periodical Afflictions of females, how-
ever complicated they may be, Diseases of the Back and
Loins, Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Rheu-
matism Hydrocele, Cancers, Ulcers, Tumors and all dia-
Of the Skin.

who have privately and improperly injured them-

,nd mind, unfitting them for either business or so-
^ Dr. James would also call the attention especially of
those who have —!-- ->—- • • •r T-
selves in that se :
body and mind, unfitting them for either business or so-
ciety, vis: Constitutional Debility or Impotency. The
following are some of the sad and melancholy effeotspro-
w -I- V-V... " of Baek
duced by early habits of youth, vis:
and Limbs, Pain in the head, Dimness of Vision, Loss of
MuscularJ>ower, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia.
Nervousness,Irritability,Symptoms of Consumption,etc.
Mentally, the fearful effects on the mind are more to be
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Depres-
sion of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society,
Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, etc.. are some
of the evils nroduced. '
All persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms
should not fail to call on Dr. James, and be at once re-
stored to perfect health; let no false delicacy prevent
yon, but apply at once, and, save yourself from the awful
and dreadful consequences of this terrible malady.
Weakness of the organs immediately cured, and full
vigor restored.
