MEDICAL ADVICE-DR. YOUNG, who
lvl has become so celebrated for thousands of

of this disease, and mild ones in from tive to five
days.
The Doctor has, for many years been known as
the most eminent and successful physician practs.

portant to the patient, he always effects speedy
and permanent cure.
Travellers, Seamen, Miners and others who wish

Many persons, after being relieved Of external
appearances ofprivate disease, suppose themselves
cured but, after few months, find they arc
troubled with various symptoms which they never
had before, and which they find it impossible to
relieve.
To all who are afflicted in this way, DIR. Young,
would particularly recommend the trial Of his
skill. The symptoms with which You are troub-
led are caused BY vsnersal taints in your blood,
which, sooner or later, will destroy your health
and happiness. No person who has ever had an
attack Of any private complaint, should fail to
consult DIR. Young, and take few bottles Of his
invaluable purifying medicines, as then they can
rest assured that their blood is in perfectly pure
and healthy condition, and that every trace Of
disease is removed from the system. Recent ca
ses cured in from two to five days, without change
of diet or hindrancs from business or no charge

A CARD-FRoM DIR. YoUNG's PRIVATE MED
AICAL OFFICE-To THE AFFLlCTED.-In this
age of progress, when science is developing itself
in such manner as to appear almost miraculous,
everything in common place is looked upon as
not worth notice. In view of this fact DR.. Young
Cat 226 l-2 Dupont st, has concluded to leave the
beaten track hitherto pursued by most scientific
physicians, that of waiting for the public to find
you out alone,) and publish to the world, as much
as may be- his knowledge Of the healing art to let
those who may be in need of assistance know
where they can find relief without fear of being
imposed upon.
In continuation Of this object, Dr. Young would
say, that for the past ten years he has pursued
the practice of medicine in of the largest cit
les in the United States, with the highest success
and that his standing as physician is without
reproach, having at one time been lecturer at the
University of Pennsylvania on venereal diseases
sc.
Upon all Of these considerations, Dr. Young
has confidence in introducing himself to the pub
lie, knowing that they will sustain well earned
merit.
The following are few of the many .estimo-
n ais which have appeared in the public journals
the last few years.
from the Boston Medical Journal
Although we are opposed to the system Of ad
vertising for good and sufficient reasons, still we
deem it but Justice to say that DIR. Young is one
of the most industrious and indefatigable vota-
ries of the medical science in the Unitod States
From Professor Jackson
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
Dr. Young, and has seen much of his practice,
and can bear testimony to his merits as practi-
toner.
From the New York Herald.
The eminence Of this distinguished gentlemen
in his profession, and the very extended opportu.
mites possessed by him for the observation of ve-
nereal Diseases makes his services invaluable to
those afflicted with the above complaints.
