SIR A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years.
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zine Com
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnaces, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
Il lam now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with it a completes se-
'ries of specimens ofwood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty to give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
thnce to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. ! am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

n VAVE MEDICAL OFF1CE-To the af-
flicted.-In this age of progress, when science is
developing itself in such a manner as to appear
almost miraculous, everything in common place
is looked upon as not worth notice. In view Of
this fact, Dr.. Young, corner Of Montgomery and
California streets, up stairs, has concluded to
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most
scientific physicians Chat of waiting fer the pub
lie 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 are in need of as
sistance know where they can find relief without
fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, DIR. Young
would say that for the past ten years he has pur-
sued the practice of medicine in one of the lar
cest cities of the United States, with the highest
success, and that his standing as a physician is
without reproach, having at one time been lee
turer at the University of Pennsylvania on vene-
real diseases.
Upon all these considerations, DR.. Young has
confidence in introducing himself to the public.
knowing that they will sustain well earned merit.
The following are few of the many testimo-
mails which have appeared in the public journals
OF the last few years.
TFrom the Boston Medical Journal
Although we are opposed to the system Of adj
vertsing, for good and sufficient reasons, still we
deem it but justice to say that DR.. Young is one

[From the Wing and Advertiser]
All afflicted with private complaints, should if
possible consult with DR.. Young, whose medical
education is not surpassed by any physician in
the country. In his skill, honor and integrity all
may rely with safety, while most of the medical
practitioners in the city are without honesty or
respectability, their pretensions being grounded
in ignorance and assumption,

" minal Weakness.-Dr. J. C. YOUNG address
es those who have injured themselves by private
and improper indulgences in that secret and sOl
tary habit which ruins the body and mind, unfit
ting them for either business or society. The fol
lowing are some of the sad and melancholy eff
tects produced by early habits of youth, viz
weakness Of the back and limbs, pain in the head,
dlmness of sight, loss of muscular power, palpi-
tatlon OF the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, lr1-
liability, arrangement of the digestive functions,
general debility, symptoms of consumption. &c
Mentally, the fearful effects on the mind are
more to be ereaded. Loss of memory, confusion
of ideas, depression of spirits, evil forebodlngs
aversion to society selfdistrust, love OF Solitude
timidity, &C., are some of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any OF the
above symptoms, should not fail 10 ca5l on Dr
Young and be at once restored to perfect health.
Let no false delicacy prevent you, but apply inn
mediately. and save yourself from the dreadful
and awful consequences of this terrible malady.

L II Among the most dreadful maladies that can
hetal man is that of Syphilis. From It's first ap-
pearance hundreds Of years ago, to the present
day It's ravages in whatever form they have as
sumed, have been loathesome and reyOlting to
the eye How highly necessary it is then that
those who are afflicted with this difeful disease
should have it attended to at once without a mo-

self to undergo no treatment at all these affec
tons Will disappear to be followed at no distant
day by series of symptoms resulting in form
OF Syphalls more malignant and dreadful than
before. This is the fatal consequence of pro-
crastnation, or result of the fell hands of the
mountebank. Imagine then the horror, the de-
spair of the poor unfortunate victim as he beholds
the most virUlent form of ulcers in his throat on
his lips and in his nasal foss9. lii short he sees
himself covered from head to foot with excres-
cences and supperatRg tumors. His situation is
deporable in the extreme. Constant an unceasing
pains rack every bone; his head aches continually:
the mails ON hls fingers peal off and in short there
IS general debility which brings on marasmus and
death. 70 those who would avoid all this and
desire to be saved DR.. j. c. Young assumes the
responsibility, and herewith states that whenever

1t Is now conceded that no member of the faculty
better understands the treatment of this disease
than he This one disease has been his study for
years, and he now takes pride in openly declar-

cure Syphilis in any and every form, whether it
be primary, secondary or tertiary. His treatment
