cARDZFROM DR. LC YorNc,o DID

a CARD-FROM DIR. J. C. YOUNG'S PRT
IN VAVE MEDICAL 0FFICE-To the af
ficted.-In this age of progress, when science il
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, DIR. Young, corner of Montgomery and
California streets, up stairs, has concluded To
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued bv most
scientific physicians Chat of waiting for 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, DR.. Young
would say that for the past ten years he has pur-
sued the practice of medicine in one of the lar
gest cities of the United States with the highest
success and that his standing as physician Is
without reproach, having at one time been lee
turer at the University of Pennsylvania on vene-
real diseases.
Upon all these considerations, DIR. 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-
malls 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
of the most industrious and intelligent votaries
of the medical science in the United States.
TFrom 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.
TFrom the New York Herald
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman
in his profession, and the very extended opportu-
mites possessed by him for the observation of
nereaI diseases, makes his services invaluable to
those afflicted with the above complaints.
[From the Whig 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
responsibility, their pretensions being grounded
in ignorance and assumption.

The Sheriff and the Widow,

An exchange tells the following good sto-
ry, of which an Alabama Sheriff is the gal,
liant hero:
Court was in session, and, amid the mul.
tlpliclty of business which crowded upon
him at term-time, the Sheriff stopped at the
door OF beautiful widow, on the sunny side
of thirty, who by the way had often be-
slowed melting glances upon him. He was
admitted, end soon the widow appeared;
the confusion and delight which the arrival
OF her visitor had occasioned set off to a
greater advantage than usual the captiva-
ting charms of the widow Her cheeks
bore the beautifully blended tints of the ap-
pie blossom-her lips resembled rose-buds
upon which the morning dew yet fingered,
and her eyes were like the quivers of Cupid,
the glances of love and tenderness with
which they were filed resembling arrows
that only awaited fine beau (pardon the
pun) to do full execution. Afer few COM
mOn-place remarks
Madam" said the matter-of-fact Sheriff
II have an attachment for YOU"
A deeper blush than usual mantled the
cheeks of the fair widow: with downcast
eyes, whose glances were centered upon her
beautiful feet, half concealed by her flowing
drapery, gently patting the floor, she, with
equal candor, replied
"Sir, the attachment is reciprocal"
For some time the Sheriff maintained al
astonished silence; at last he said
Madam, will you proceed to Conrt?n
Proceed to Court" replied the lady
with a merry laugh; then shaking her beau
tiful head, she added, mo, sir, though it is
leap gear! [ will not take advantage Of
the license therein granted to my sex, and
therefore greatly prefer you should proceed
to Court
"But, Madam, the Justice is waiting"
"Let him wait; | am not disposed to hur
ry matters in such an unbecoming manner
and besides, sir, when the ceremony is per-
formed, | wish you to understand that
prefer a minister to aJustice of the Peace. )
Madam" said the Sheriff, rising from
his chair with solemn dignity, "there is q
great mistake here; my language has beer
misunderstood; the attachment of which ]
speak was issued from the office of ESQUIRE
O., and commands me to bring YOU
instantly before him to answer a contempt
OF Court, in diSobeying subpoena, in the
case Of Smith VS.. Jones"
