FROM DR.. j. e. Young's Private
Medical Oflice.-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
publ1,h 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 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 Of
tie United States, with the III est sue
cess, and that his standing as physi-
clan is without rcproach, having at one
time been lecturer at the University of
Pennsylvania on venerial diseases, &c.
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
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 indefatigable vo-
tarics 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 practitioner.
From the New York Herald
The enlinence 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.
