TESTIMONIALS FROM THE PRESS.


DIR. HUNGERFoRD.-We wish to call the
attention of our readers to the advertise
ment of this gentleman, whose extensive
practice and great success is sufficient to
induce all those afflicted to give him a call
The Doctor is not only regularly educa-
ted physician, but he has the principles of
honesty and can feel for his fellow beings.
He has undoubtedly more practice than
any other physician in San Francisco, and
it is fast increasing. To those acquainted
with the Doctor, we say nothing as to his
skill and integrity, as they are we'll known;
but to strangers,we do say, call at the cor
ner of Washington street and Washington
Place, opposite the Hall of Records, and
Lafayette Restaurant, and you will find
that friend in need is friend indeed.
From the Southern Medical Journal.l
PROFESSOR HUNGERFoRD-Althou op-
posed to the system of advertising, yet we
deem it but just to this gentleman to admit
that his system Of treatment in Private
Diseases, is undoubte dly the most approved
one now in use throughout the civilized
world.
FROM DIR. HUNGERFORD'S Private
Medical Rooms, corner of Washington
street ard Washington Place, opposite
the Hall of Records, and the Lafayette
Restaurant.
Where all diseases of private character
receive the treatment necessary to effect a
speedy and effectual cure of those annoying
and distressful complaints. The enviable
reputation DR.. Hungerford has earned for
himself by his extraordinary success in all
diseases of private nature, renders it but
necessary to state his address; he therefore
avoids the long advertisements of bombas-
tic promises of the empires of the day, so
lavishly held out but seldom fnlfilled.-
Medicines are sent to all parts of the coun.
try, with directions for their use.
Nocturnal Emissions, Ulcers in the Threat
Syphilis, ,Gonorrhea, Structures, Gleet, and
those dreadful symptoms Of the head,
throat, nose and skin, under DR.. Hanger
ford's treatment, are healed in an ineredi-
bly short time, without mercury. Young
men who have become victims Of solitary
vice, that dreadful and destructive habit,
which ruins both body and mind, call inn
mediately on DR.. Hungerfopd, and you can
depend upon being restored to health, that
greatest of Gods blessings.
STONE, GRAVEL. &C-The efficacy
of DR.. HungerfOsFs Lithron Triptic has
proved beyond doubt to be the most Ger
tain cure in the above named most painful
cases that the human frame is most subject

YE THAT SUFFER--READ! READ!
DR.. Pareira's Great italian Remedy |!

h'OR the certain and speedy cure of dis
L eases of private nature, no matter
how long standing, without any injurious
effects to the system, or any change of diet.
1t has never failed--it cannot fail to cure.
This invaluable specific, first introduced
into Pisa some fifty gears since. soon be-
came so well known as certain cure
that in every town and city, not only on
the Continent, but in Great Britain, the de-
mand for it was SO great, its merits so us
founding, that in less than one year from
its introduction it had supplanted all other
remedies. The Medical Faculty of the
principal cities of Europe were compelled
to acknowledge its wonderful mastery over
disease. Proprietors of other medicines,
jealous of its sway, vainly endeavored to
stay its onward progress Like grass before
the mower, their efforts fell to the ground;
and like fire on the prairies, sweeping all
before it, its onward march became trium-
phant. 1t stood forth upon its own merits;
a discerning public saw tried and were con-
vinced of it's magical virtues. The massive
fortune acquired by DR.. Pareira from the
sale of it during the six years he prepared
it, alone bore witness to its miraculous me-
rits. At the decease of the Doctor, the
recipe was bequeathed to his son, who has
lately introduced the remedy into the Uni
ted States The number of cures it has al
ready made are astonishing. Thousands
and tens of thousands can bear testimony
to its efficacy.
All who use it, it will cure, with safety,
speed and certainty no other medicine has
ever possessed. Resort to no quack nos
trums. Use remedy that has been tried
for the past fifty years, and was never
known to fail.
BEWARE OF COUNTERrEITs.
The extensive sale of this wonderful med
icine has already caused some person or
persons, to PAIN eff upon the unsusrsec.ing
a spurious compound cIose,y, resembling
the original. Be particular to buy ION ,,"ne
without the written signature of A. Parei-
ra, NJ. D., on the outside wrapper of each
bottle. All others are counterfeit, and
their compounders will be punished with
the utmost rigor of the law.
Price Three Dollars per bottle. For sale

discount made to wholesale dealers.
