FROM DR.. j. G.. Young's Private
Medical Office.-To THE AFFLICTED
In this age of progress, when science is
developing itself i'll 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 Call
fornia, has concluded to leave the beat
en- track hitherto pursued by most sci
entifc physicians, (that of waiting for
the public TO find sou cat Alone and
publish 10 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 can 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 Ct
the United States, with the highest sac
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, sc.
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 sufi-
cient reasons, still We deem it but JUS
tice to say that DR.. Young is one Of the
most industrious and indefaticable yo-
taries of the medical science in the Uni
ted States.
From Professor jackson
The subscriber is personally acquaint-
ed with DR.. Young, and has seen much
of his practice, and can bear testimony
to his merits as a practitioner.
From the New York Herald
The en,inence of this distinguished
gentleman in his profession, and the
very extended opportunities possessed
by him for the observation of ysneral
disease, makes his services invaluable
to those afflicted with the above com
plants.
Columbia gazette., 1854-10-28


THE proprietor of this spacious and
magnificent ablishment, respectfully
represents to his friends and the public
that in making his appearance for fayors
lie does so in an enticrly new dress, and
is now prepared to accommodate all who
may see proper to give him call.
In connection with the establishment is
the we'll and favorably known
JENNY LIND RESTAURANT,
where all the delicacies and luxuries
are to be found in profuse abundance,
and at rates with the times. The Bar
will be supplied (as was previous to the
conaagration) with the choicest brands
of liquors. The cigars will be of the
best quality and finest favour.
The lodging apartments cannot be
surpassed-the rooms are large, we'll
ventilated and supplied With good bed
ding and furnitre.
THE SALOON
has two billiard tables Of the best aaa
most approved kind. Persons visiting
caii rest assured that no pains will be
spared to make them comfortable and
pleasant during their fojourn.
The subscriber returns his sincere
thanks to his patrons, for the liberal
support he received from their hands
previous to the confagration, and
hopes that with renewed exertions he
will enjoy continuance of the same.

How important, then. it is-for every
