L T
To DR.. L. J. CZAPKAY, San Francisco:
Dear Sir:-Before having made application 10
you, I had called upon several physicians, from
whom obtained but little satisfaction. was
told by one that nv disease was incurable, and
that the headache, dizziness, nervousness, timid-
ity selfdistrust loss of memory, love of solitude,
wanderings of my mind, and sometimes partial
insanity, were evidences of organic disease OF
the brain, for which medicine would be OF lite
service. Having brought on three symptoms 10y
my own folly, l was almost frantic with despair
when saw your advertisement and called upon
you How great has been my relief; all the above
symptoms have been relieved, besides which
have recovered my bodily health. Believing that
there are many suffering in the same manner, you
have my permission to publish This letter, and
can refer any one to me for confirmation.
Gratefully yours,

TO THE AFFLICTED.-Dr. l.. j. Czapkay
has opened his institute for the cure Of all forms
of private diseases, such as Syphilis, GOnorrh9a,
Nocturnal Emissions and all the consequences
of selfabuse. In the first stages of Syphaltic or
Gonolrhoeal diseases, he guarantees cure in
few days, without inconvenience to the patient,
or hindrance to his business. When a patient,
by neglect or improper treatment, has developed
the secondary symptoms of syphilis, such as bu-
boes or painful swelings of the groins, or ulcers
in the throa and nose which if not checked de-
strOy the soft parts and cause the bones to NOR
tify separate and come away, leaving the suffer
er an object hideous to behold; Orwhen splotches
or pimples break out upon the skin, or when he
has painful swellmgs upon the bones, or when
his constitution is injured so as to predlSpoSe to
consumption or other constitutional disease, the
Doctor guarantees cure or asks no cOmpensa-
ton.
In rheumatism, chronic or acute; in Dysente-
ry or Diarrhuea he has sale and effeCtual rene
dies. For the treatment of the consequences of
selfabuse, such as nocturnal emissions, nervous
ness timi6ity, headache, pains in the back and
limbs with general weakness, loss of appetite,
loss of memory, injury to the sight, restessncss,
confusion of ideas, dislike for society, and feel
ing of Weariness of life; with the nervous system
so eXcitable that slight noises shock or startle
the patient, making his existence miserable
tee cure or ask no compensation. He can be
consulted free of charge, and invites all to.cail,
as it will cost them nothing, and may be much
to their advantage.

The BooMERANG.-This peculiar weapon,
peculiar to the native of Australia, has often
proved puzzler to men of science. 1t is o
piece Of carved wood, nearly in the form OF
a crescent, from 80 to 10 inches long, point
ed at both ends, and the corner quite sharp
The mode Of using it is quite as singular as
the weapon. Ask black to throw it so as
to fal at his feet, and away it goes, full 40
yards before him; skimming along the sur
face at or feet from ground, when it will
suddenly rise in the air 30 or 80 feet de-
scrlbing curve, and finally drop at the foot
of. the thrower During its course it re-
wolves with great rapidity, as on a pivot,
with whlzzing noise. 1t is wonderful so
barbarous people should have invented so
singular weapon, which sets laws of pro-
gresSion at defiance. 1t is very dangerous
for European to try to project it at anv
object, as it may return and strike himself
In natives hand it is a formidable wean-
on, striking without the protector being
seen; like the Irishmans gun, shootin9
round a corner equally as straight forward
1t was invented to strike the Kangaroo,
which animal is killed by it with certainty,
and though copse intervene between the
hunter and the animal, the Boomerang
comes round the corner and breaks his legs.

THE CHLORIDE OF GOLD

THE CHLORIDE or GOLD
For Primary Syphilis. How long have the
medical profession tried in vain to discover some
the-reputical agent that could be relied upon 10
cure disease more to be dreaded than all others
combined. Some Quack Doctors advertise to cure
venereal diseases without the use of mercury
But their statements are false. We have taken
pains to collect the receipts of some who make
a great noise, and we find that they use the To-
dine of Mercury for everything, whether it is
proper or not, and since we find them misrepre
senting in this particular, we have reason to sus
pect them and I'D omne genus in all their pre-
tensions.
Gentlemen, there never was a remedy capable
of curing the disease without mercury, until the
discovery of the Chloride of Gold, and we submit
it to the test, having thoroughly tried it, and
know It to possess all the qualities attributed to it.
DR.. Christian says:-The Chloride of Gold is
capable of curing Syphalis under all its forms,
and that in its general operations on the system,
it possesses many advantages over mercury 1t
is efficacious yet gentle. 1t may be administered
with perfect safety at all seasons of the year. and
under any complication of the disease. Persons
of either sex may be put uponlt with equal safe
ty the only caution enjoined is strict temperance
In other respects the patient is not required to
change his mode of living.
DR.. Samuel l.. Mitchell, the distinguished sur
geon of New York, speaks IN the following words:
The Chloride of Gold possesses admirable vlr-
tues against Syphalis. The patient gets well un-
der the operation of the medicine, with incom-
parably less inconvenience, without the hazard
of sore mouth or salvation, and with very lit
tie wear and tear of the constitution l consider
the introduction of this preparation in common
use, as one of the greatest improvements in mod
en medicine, and | wish it was already as uni
versal as the malady it cures.
Other distinguished members Of the medical
profession have given testimony of the great val
ue of the remedy, the statements of whom we
have in our possession.
Gentlemen we shall be glad to see you at any
time-we are always prepared to attend to your
wants.
The above remedy will be sent to any persons
address who sends the price of the medicine

Jones American Cholagogue,

For the thorough and permanent cure of Fever
and Ague, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, Intermit
tent and Remittent Fever, Liver Complaint,
Jaundice, Enlargement of the Spleen, and all
the various forms of Bilious Disease.
TNHIS invaluable medicine was prepared from
IN an extensive practice Of several years in
bilious climate, and is never known to fail of
curing Fever and Ague, or any of the diseases
above named.
The unanimous testimony of all who have used
the American Cholagogue, or witnessed its Oper-
ations, establishes satisfactorily to every one
who can appreciate evidence, the following
facts
l. The American Cholagogue possesses supe-
riOr ChOlagogue, Febrifuge and Tonic properties
to any combination of medicine ever before in
vented.
2. 1t has cured cases of Intermittent and other
Fevers, where the most popular medicines of the
day have failed.
3. 1t has cured where Quinine and all other US
ual remedies seemed to produce little or DO effect
a. 1t is mild in its operations, pleasant to take,
contains neither Arsenic or other deleterious
drugs, and may be taken by persons of all ages
with perfect safety.
IS. Its powers in changing and promoting the
bilious and other secretiOnS, thus cleansing the
system and restoring the natural and healthy or
gans of the bodyis unequalled, hence its efficacy
as a preventive, as well as curative agent.
g. 1t is the most economical by one-half of all
the usual remedies for Fever and other bilious
diseases.

THE EYES,
All Diseases of the Eye Cured WITH unfaiI'
Ing certainty.

DIR. w. A. SNYDER, Oculist.
DR. w. A. SNYDER'S mode of treating disea-
IL ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be-
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
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 Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use Of
general use. DR.. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief,
not to despair of 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.
