RELIGIOUS CHARACTER OF THE HINDOo.
The Hind0o is the most religious being IN
existence. Rising up and sitting down,
walking and sleeping, obeying the precepts
of his moral code, and disregarding them,
all he does is with the spirit of religion
Not an action he performs, not step he
takes, not a word he utters, not breath ne
draws, but he does all agreeably to the III
stitutes of his religion. 1t is prescribed to
q Brahmin which foot he must put out first
in getting up; he must then carefully cleanse
his teeth; then follows religious abluti0n OF
the whole body; next he recites inaudibly
certain sacred texts his hair and nails must
be cut round, though he must never cut
them himself; his mantle must be white; bis
staff, made CT the canonical wood, must be
OF such length as to reach his hair, strait,
without fracture, of a handsome appearance,
with its bark perfect; he must wear golden
earrings; he must not eat with his own
wife, nor look at her eating, or sneezng, or
yawning, or sitting carelessly at her ease, or
setting of her eyes with black powder, or
scentlng herself.
He must not blow the fire, nor warm his
feetjn it, nor stride over it; he must not
sleep with his feet wet; he must not step
over string to which calf is tied; he must
not pass over the shadow of red-haired
man. lie must read the Vedas in various
ways; every word singly, or every other
word twice, or backwards He must not
look upon the rising or setting sun, nor
when it is clouded over Or upon its image
IN the water. He must avoid standing up
on hair or ashes, or bones, or potsherds, OF
seeds of cotton, or husks Of grain. He must
not remain even under the shade of a tree
with outcasts, or idiots, or washermen, OF
other vile persons. Princeton Review.

A CARD-FROM DIR. J. c. YOUNG'S PRr-
"A VAVE MEDICAL OFFICE-To the af.
f1icted.-In this age of progress, when science i
developing itself IN such manner as to apDear
almost miraculous, everything in common Mac
is looked upon as not worth notice In view os
this fact, DR.. Young, corner of Montgomery and
California streets, up stairs, has concluded to
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by mos
scientific physicians, (that of waiting for the pnh.
lie to find you ont alone,) and publish to Tho
world as much as may be, his knowledge of tho
healing art, to let those who are in need of a.
sistance know where they can find relief without
fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, Dr. Younr
would say that for the past ten years he has nnS,
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 a physician il
without reproach, having at one time been Ier.
turer at the University of Pennsylvania on yene
real diseases.
Upon all these considerations DIR. Younc hos
confidence in introducing himself to the public
knowing that they will sustain well earnoi merit
The following are few of the many testimo.
malls which have appeared in the public journals
of the last few years.
[From the Boston Medical JournaI1
Although we are opposed to the system of ad.
yertlsng for good and sufficient reasons still we
deem 1t but Justice to say that DR.. Young is one
OF the most Industrious and intelligent votares
OF the medical science in the United States.
From Professor Jackson.1
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
DR.. Young, and has seen much of his practice
and can beas testimony to his merits as practi,
toner.
[From the New York Herald1
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman
in his profession, and the very extended Opportu-
mites possessed by him for the observation of We
nereal diseases, makes his services invaluable to
those afflicted with the above complaints.
[From the Wing and Advertser.1
All afflicted with private complaints, should if
possible consult with DIR. 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
respectability their pretensions being grounded
in ignorance and assumption.

PRACTICAL DENTIST,

NTOULD call the attention of his friends and
w the inhabitants of San Francisco, to his
office, where they can have all DENTAL opera
tions, whether SURGICAL or MECHANICAL, done
in a style that cannot be eXcclIed, or even equal
ed, by any operator in this city or country.
Dir. B. would say to those wishing ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, that he is now prepared to manufacture
and insert BLOCK GUM TEETH, which, for NATU-
RAJ APPEARANCE, BEAUTY and DURABILITY, are
superior to anything before used in this place
Persons wishing to have teeth filed will find
that DR.. B.. operations are not eXcelled by any
other Dentist in the city. The greatest pains
will be taken to make the filling permanent.
To those wishing teeth extracted, he has al
ways met with the greatest success in removing
cariOus teeth and fangs.
ChlOrOfOm and Ether from the best manufac-
turer in the States, and used with great care.
DR.. B. would say to those wishing Artificial
Heeth that he models his teeth expressly for the
individual customer, so that to those unacquant-
ed with dental operations it may be we'll to say,
dentists usually select from an assortment of ar
tifical teeth-larger or smaller, as they may have
capital-separate teeth to form the set. If they
use gum teeth, there will be visible in the wear
ers mouth perceptble difference between the
appearance of not only the artificial and natural
gun, but between different sections of the artifi-
cial gum. DR.. B. Obviates this entirely, by man
ufactuling a set of teeth with a continuous gum,
formed and colOred expressly for the particular
space to be filled, so that the greatest possible
degree of naturalness and strength is attained

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 the Opin-
ion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal Sc
cretiOns, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens
the system more than the abstraction of forty
ounces of blood. One of the FIRST writers on
medical jurisprudence states that threefourths Of
the insane owe their malady to such abuse
How lmpOrtadt then, it is--fOr every one hav-
ing the least cause to suspect any trouble in that
way, to attend to it Immediately; even one single
occurrence should be sufficient to cause doubt
