GTRANGERS visiting San Francisco
~ from the interior, frequently wish to
consult physician. Not knowing whom
to trust, they sometimes fall into the hands
OF mere pretenders, as void of conscience as
OF knowledge. That they may escape these
dangers, DR.. Whelpley takes this occasion
to inform them that his Office is now at the
CORNER OF SANSOME AND CONNER
ClAL STREETS, San Francisco, opposite
the ST. Nicholas, Mantle and Crescent City
Hotels, (up sfairs-entrance on Sansomc
street,) where he can be consulted at all
hours of the day and evening.
1t is needless to say that DR.. Whelpley
is regular member of the Faculty of Medi-
cine, qualified by long study and expert
ence for the practice of the healing art
He is able to assure those who are afflicted
with the Feuers and Rheumatic affections
peculiar to California, or with those secret
maladies which, from slight neglected be-
ginnings, destroy so many vigorous cOnsti-
tutions-that modern science has discov-
cred sure, safe and speedy methods of cure.
1t is no longer thought necessary to satu-
rate the body with mineral poisons, con-
demning it to weakness and premature
decay: the horrible system of ssstarving.
poisoning, and confinement" pursued by
antique ignorance, is entirely superseded,
and those Miasmatic, pestilential Venereal.
and contagious diseases which it was sup
posed might, in time, destroy the human
race. can now be cured by simple and natu-
raj remedies, in few days.

mute sores of slight excavations, which

the veins continually absorb an active. diff
fusive poison.
z. GoNORREHAE-An unhealthy and conta-
glous eff1ux, generated at first, by unclean-
illness, and thence communicated by con-
tact; producing, if unchecked, destructive

Persons laboring under Secret Maladies
or weakness. constitute at least one-fourth
the population of civilized countries. Scien-
tlflc and medical research has consequently
been largely devoted to their cure, and the
most lllustrious of living names in medi-
cine, are of those European practitioners
who have discovered sure and safe methods
The saving of human life and health which
has resulted from the researches of John
Hunter and his successors. and the medical
discoveries OF Ric0rd and few others, in
our own times, has produced sensible in
crease In population, and has extended the
average term of human existence.
DR.. W. wishes to have it understood that
he relies for his success upon competent
knowledge OF the more recent and valuable
discoveries of science. In country so un-
settled, and withsa population so fiuetuating
as that Of California, it is not necessary for
him to apologize for having taken this pub
lie method of making known his principles.
The proof of their correctness is in their
constant success
Remember that DR.. WIS office is on the
corner of Sansome and Commercial streets,
Uong Wharf,) up stairs, entrance on San
some, opposite st. Nicholas, Mantle and
Crescent City hotel.
