PROFESSOR HUNGERFORD
Although opposed 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 un-
doubtedly the most approved one now
in use throughout the civilized world.
FROM DR.. HUNGERFORD'S
PRIVATE MEDICAL Rooms, Corner of
Washington st and Washington place
opposite the Hall Records and the
Lafayette Restaurant,
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
Where all diseases of private char
acter receive the treatment necessary
to effect speedy and effectual cure Of
those annoying and distressful COM
plants. The enviable reputation DR..
Hungerford has earned for himself by
his extraordinary success in all diseases
of private nature, renders it but nee
essary to state his address he there
fore avoids the long advertisements of
bombastic promises of the empires Of
the day, SO lavishly held out but seldom
fulfilled. Medicines are sent to all
parts of the country, with directions for
their use.
NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS, Ul-
Gerry in the Throat, Syphilis, Gonorr-
hea, Structures, elect, and those dread
full symptoms of the head, throat, nose
and skin, under the Hungerford treat
ment, are healed in an incredibly short
time, without mercury. Young men
who have become victims of solitary
vice, that dreadful and destructive hab-
it, which ruins both body and mind,
call Immediately on DIR. Hungerford,
and you can depend on being restored
to health, that greatest of Gods bless
ings. III
STONE GRAVEL, &c.-The ef-
fcacy of DR.. Hungerford's Lithron
Tnptic has proved beyond doubt to
be the most certain cure in the above
named most painful cases that the hu-
man frame is subject to.

THE indulgence IN secret practices is
the most certain, though not always the
most immediate and direct avenue to
destruction. Physicians Of all ages have
been most unanimously of opinion that
the loss of one ounce of the seminal Sc
cretions, by unnatural aid or emissions,
weakens the system more than the alb
straction Of forty ounces of blood. One
OF the FIRST writer's on medical juris-
prudence states that three fourths OF
the insane owe their malady to such a.
buse.
How important, then, it is-for every
enc having the least cause to suspect
any trouble in that way, should attend
to it Immediately; even one single oc-
currence should be sufficient to cause
doubt, and much more SO if the person
had ever INDUCED in the soul-killing
habit. The treatment pursued by the
justly celebrated Or. &C. Young, in
cases Of seminal weakness, impotency,
sterility, nervous debility, and paralysis,
(the last is the most dangerous, and
when it once occurs, is incurable,) is
surpassed by any physician in the coun-
try. 1t is the same as that followed by
him for years, under the guidance Of
the world renowned Record of Paris,
and Acton Of London. DR.. Young s
Office is corner of Montgomery and Cal
ifornia streets, opposite Page, Bacon &

he can be consulted upon that and all

A CARD.

FROM DR.. J. G. Young's Private
Medical Office.-To THE AFFLICTED.
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..
You've, corner of Montgomery and
California streets, San Francisco, Cali
fornia, has concluded to leave the beat
en- track hitherto pursued by most sci
enti6c 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 are in need of assistance
know where they cap find relief, with
out 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 one Of the largest cities of
the United States, with the highest sue
cess, and that his standing as physi-
clan is without reproach, having at one
time been lecturer at the University of
Pennsylvania on venerial diseases, &c.
Upon all these considerations, DIR.
Young has confidence in introducing
himself to the public, knowing that they
will sustain we'll earned merit.
The following are few of the many
testimonials, which have appeared in the
public journals the last few years:
From the Boston Medical Journal.
Although we are opposed to the sys-
tenn Of advertising, for good and suffi-
cient reasons, still we deem it but JUS
tice to say that DR.. Young is one of the
most industrious and indefatigable vo-
taries of the medical science in the Uni
ted States.
From Professor jackson.
The subscriber is personally acquaint-
ed with DR.. Young, and has cen much
of his practice, and can bear testimony
to his merits as practitioner.
From the New York Herald !
The eminence Of this distinguished
gentleman in his profession, and the
very extended opportunities possessed
by him for the observation Of veneral
disease, makes his services invaluable
to those afflicted with the above COM
plants.

HUNDREDS of those who have con-
tracted disease are disappointed of a
cure by not calling on DR.. YOUNG at
first. He will forfeit any sum if he fails
to cure any case that may come under
his care, no matter how long standing
and aflilting, such as ulcers, tumors,
nodes, lunches, pimples on the face and
body, pains in the bones and joints,
wakefulness, trembling, copper-colored
sores. wasting of the bones, emancia-
ton; loss of appetite, strength and flesh,
sores in the nose and ears, loss Of hair,
weak eyes, itching humors, &c., &C.
Many persons, after being relieved Of
all external appearances Of private dis
ease, suppose themselves cured, but af-
ter few months find they are troubled
with various symptoms which they new
er had before, and which they find it
impossible to relieve.
To all who are afflicted in this way,
DR.. Young would particularly recon-
mend a trial of his skill. The symp-
toms with which you are troubled are
caused by taints in the blood, which
sooner or later will destroy your health
and happiness No person who has ev-
er had an attack of any private CON-
plant should fail to consult DR.. Young,
and take few bottles Of his invaluable
purifying medicine. as they can rest as
sured that their blood is in perfectly
pure and healthy condition, and that cv-
cry trace of disease is removed from the
system.

Young addresses those who have injur-
ed themselves by private and improper
indulgences in that sc cret and solitary
habit which ruins the body and mind,
uniting them for either business Or So
ciety. The following are some Of the
sad and melancholy effects produced by
early habits of youth, viz: weakness Of

dimncss of sight, loss of muscular power,
palpitation Of the heart, dyspepsia, ner-
vousness, irritability, arrangement of
the digestive functions. general debility,
symptoms of consumption &C.
Mentally the fearful effects on the
mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of
memory, confusion of ideas, depression
Of spirits, evil forebodings, aversion to
society, self distrust, love Of solitude,
timidity, &c., are some of the evils pro-
duced. $685.

BY J.C. YOUNG. M. D.
Author of +" Comparative Anatomy"
etc., Graduate ofthe University of P enn-
sylvania; Honorary Member ofthe Roy
al College of Surgeons, ETC., etc.
The above work is emphatically the
book for the age 1t is one Of the most
complete works of the kind that has ever
been published, presenting as it does the
minute analysis Of every form of veneri-
al disease incident to both sexes, and
above all entering into and describing
particularly the awful work of that ter
rible disease SO common among young
men, known as masturbation. The
knowledge to be derived by every one
in having copy of this work in their
possession is beyond conception as any
person who has the ightest reason to
believe that they are, afflicted with a
disease, of which they have been igno-
rant, can, by referring to its pages, in a
few minutes fully understand the nature
of that disease, and be made aware Of
the effects attending it; and thus they
may in season apply the proper remedies
and avert its heretofore unseen progress,
which was fast undermining their con-
stitution, and would have resulted either
in death, or what is as awful to contem-
plate, destroying forever the health and
happiness of the unfortunate victim.
In the preparation of this work, the
author has not only given a practical
exposition of his own labors, but has
freely consulted and compiled from the
works of the most popular writer's of the
day, thus presenting careful and well
digested compendium of the most impor-
tant facts and principles furnished by
the ablest writer's that ever lived. This
is sufficient, it is hoped as a test of its
accuracy and of its untold practical value
and utility. a
