Quick Cures and Low Prices.

OLD ESTABLISHED OFFICE, CORNER OF MONTGoM-
ERY AND CALIFORNIA STREET.
nR. YOUNG returns his sincere thanks to his
~ numerous patients, (amounting to over two
thousand in the last year,) for their patronage
and would embrace this opportunity to remind
them that he continues to consult on those diff
cult cases of Venereal, which have haffled the
skill of some of the most celebrated physicians
and dupOn which he never failed to perform a rad
ical cure.
The Doctor is happy to see the public appreci-
ate the valuable services OF regular medical
graduate-one in whose skill and integrity they
can place the utmost confidence, rather than
class him with the herd of Quacks, who infest
the city, sowing the seeds of debility and disease
to an alarming extent by pretending to cure the
world of diseases, when they know nothing of the
modus operandi of medicine. They give mercu-
ry and other poisinous drugs, under the name of
vegetable medicines, which, instead of curing,
entail upon the system a humor which is hand
ed down, from generation to generation, carry
ing misery in its trail; but what does the impos
ter care so long as he gets his paltry fee.
Some of the ignoramusses-s self-styled Doc

shining cOlors to deceive the unwary-some,
say, have great enmity toward me, because they

The indulgence in secret practices is the most

all ages have been most unanimously of the opiD-
ION that the loss of one ounce of the seminal Sc.

the system more than the abstraction of forty
ounces OF blood. One of the FIRST writers on

And yet he did not come,
/ strayed along the brook-side
And slowly wandered home,
When who should come behind me,
But him would have bid;
He said he came to ind me
Do you really think he did?
He said that since we parted
He'd thought of naught so sweet,
As Of the very moment
The moment we should meet.
He showed me where, half-shaded,
A cottage home lay hid;
He said for me he made it
Do you really think he did!
He said when first he saw me,
Life seemed at once divine
Each night he dreamed of angels,
And every face was mine.
Sometimes voice, when sleeping,
Would all his hopes forbid,
And then he walked up weeping
Do you really think he did?

THE EYES,
ALI Diseases of the Eye Cured with unfaii-
ing certainty.
DIR. W. A. SNYDER, Oculist.

DIX. w. A. SNYDER, Oculist.
nR. W. A. SNYDER'S mode of treating disea-
~ ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be-
lieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impu-e
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted: and by equalizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor.
ing the general health of the patient, the Ewes
may be permanently cured without the use of
costic or any of the irritating applications in
general use. DR.. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief
not to despair of a cure without giving him
trial. for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost, or the Eye not completely disorganized there
is still hope.

They err who measure life by years,
With false or thougl,,less tongue;
Some hearts grow old before their time;
Others are always young!
IT'S not the number Of the lines
On lfe's last-flling page,
IT'S not the pulses added ihrobs,
Which constitute our age.
Some soals are serfs among the free,
While others nobly strive;
They stand Just where their fathers's stood
Dead, even while they live!
Others all spirit, heart and sense
Theirs the mysterious power
To live, in thrills Of Joy or woe,
A twelyemonth in an hour!
Seize. then, the minutes as they pass
The woof Of life is thought!
Warm up the colors, let them glow,
By fire or fancy fraushI!
Live 10 some purpose-make thy life
a gift of use 10 thee
A joy, a good, golden hope.
A heavenly argosy! ABDr ALLIN.
