A CARD FROM DIR. YOUNG,S
Private Medical Once.

ITO THE EAFFLICTED.-In this age of pro-
J. gress when science is 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 Dr. ].
G. Young, CORNER OF MONTGOMERY AND CAL
IFORNIA STREETS UP sTAIRs,) has concluded to
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by
scientific, Chat of waiting for the public to
find you out alone,) and publish to the world,
as much as may be, his knowledge Of the heal
ing art, to let those who are in the need of as
sistance know where they can find relief with
out fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this object, DR.. J. G.
Young would say that for the past ten years,
he has pursued the practice of medicine in
one of the largest cities in the United States,
with the highest success and that his standing
as physician is without reproach, having at
one time been lecturer at the University of
Pennsylvania. on venereal diseases, &c.
Upon all Of these considerations, DR.. J. G.
Y 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 testi-
monials which have appeared in the public
journals the last few years:
From the Boston Medical Journal1
Although we are oppose to the system of
advertising, for good and sufficient reasons,
still we deem it but justice to say that DR.. ].
c. Young is one of the most Industrious and
indefatigable votares of the medical science
in the United States
From Professor Jackson.]
The subscriber is personally acquainted
with DR.. J. G. Young, and has seen much of
his practice, and can bear testimony to his
merits as practitioner.
.IFrom the New York Herald.
The eminence of this distinguished gentle
man in his profession, and the very extended
possessed by him for the OBJ
servation of veneral diseases, makes his ser
vices invaluable to those afflicted with the
above complaint
[From the Whig and Advertiser.]
All afflicted with private complaints should,
if possible, consult DR.. j. c. Young, whose
medical education is not surpassed by any
physician in the country. In his skill, honor
and integrity, all may rely with safety, whilst
most of the medical practitioners in this city
are without honesty or responsibility, their
pretensions being grounded in ignorance and
assumption.
