DISEASES OE IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent rotary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this pain
ful disease, it often happens that an ill-timed sense
of shame or dread of discovery deters him from ap
plying to those wb?, from education and respesta
bility can alone befriend him. He falls into the
fjAndft of ij?norapt and designing pretenders, who.
uicapable of curing, filch his pecuniary substance,
keep him trifling month after month, or as long as
the smallest fee can be obtained, and in despair
leave him with ruined health to sigb over his gall
ing disappointment; or, by the use of that dead!*
