''Why will Ye Die?"

NE that are afflicted, when there is help so
4 near at hand. The celebrated DR.. YOUNG,
the only REGULARLY EDUCATED PHYSICIAN now
advertising in California, is daily making new
discoveries in the healing art, and so proficient
has he become that there is no fear of failure in
any case. The Doctor treats all diseases of a
private nature, and if the cure is not performed,
no pay will be required.
DIR. YOUNG would cation the afflicted against
alluring advertisements of certain mushrooms,
calling themselves physicians, who, on account
of the eminent success of the Doctor, have open
ed places to entrap the unwary-men without ed
ucati0n, whose only object is the FEE, which by
false representations they are enabled to obtain
from their victims. The only way you can be
sure of honorable treatment and permanent cure
is to call upon DIR. YOUNG, at his Office, corner
Of Montgomery and California sts., San Fran
cisco, and you will become public benefactor
by assisting the Doctor in his endeavOrs to sup

An Ode to All Mankind.
BY j. c. YOUNG u. D.

BY j. c. YOUNG II. b.
All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read
As It's your case alone, not mine | plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Man d0omd has to bare, when the remorseless
fangs
OF dire disease, is fastened in his soul,
When he would seek the dagger or the bowl,
To end his misery by the potent spell
OF deadly poison, or the polished steel. Tmorn
Ye who have writhed and groaned from night to
Cursing the hour that ever We were bornl
Seeking YOUR pillow thinking to find ease.
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
TIL molten lava
To him who hath felt this
| need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark
Should read this DER, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he'll tomorrow be
But all should know, in dark affections hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their. pain, so prompt, they'd think my
hand
Must surely grasp a Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In every town and hamlet small or great,
Some can be found who know the power | WELD
Having tried it-know it was to them shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders banks, in battle bore
They know it saved them from the blush of shame
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this oer,
Remember, ALONE can you restore.
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
have the means and power for doing so,
here will state Let each one note what say
Ny motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
/ m found with ease my name on every tongue
The suf rers friend, and yours too,

them that he continues to consult on those diff

skill of some of the most celebrated physicians
andUpon which he never failed to perform rad

The Doctor is happy to see the public apprec-
ate the valuable services of regular medical

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

world of diseases, when they know nothing of the

bad effect upon the system, and are warranted to

Travellers, and others, as they require no restric-

Young men affected with constitutional de

A CARD--FROM DIR. J. c.. YOUNG'S PRI-
"a VAYE MEDICAL OFFICE.-To the af
ficted.--In this age Of progress, when science ia
developing itself in such manner as to annear
almost miraculous, everything in common place
is looked upon as not worth notice. In view of
this fact, DR.. Young, corner of Montgomery and
California streets, up stairs, has concluded 70
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most
scientific physicians, Chat of waiting for the pub
lie to find you cut alone.) and nnhli-h ia the
world, as much as may be, his knowledge of the
healing art, to let those who are in need of nc.
sistance know where they can find relief without
fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation Of this subject, DR.. Yonnr
would say that for the past ten years he has puT.
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 is
without reproach, having at one time been lee
turer at the University of Pennsylvania on vene.
real diseases.
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 a few of the many testmo-
malls which have appeared in the public journals
of the last few years
[From the Boston Medical Journall
Although we are opposed to the system of ad-
vertsing, for good and sufficient reasons still we
deem it but justice to say that DR.. Young is one
of the most industrious and intelligent votaries
of the medical science in the United States.
From Professor Jackson.l
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
Dr. Young, and has seen much of his practice,
and can bear testimony to his merits as practi,
TONER
TFrom the New York Herald.1
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman
in his profession and the very extended Opp0rtu-
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 end Advertiser.J
All afflicted with private complaints should if
possible consult with Dr. 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.

WAIT A MINUTE-Such was the excla-
nation of one man to another in the street
yesterday. "Wait a minute For what
was he desired to wait-whether to listen
to dainty bit OF scandal, or to transact an
item Of business, we know not; we only
heard the words "wait minute" and pas
sed on our way, thinking the while, however,
that we had picked up real pearl Of a text
for future use.
"Wait minute" Not a man of us that
does not at some or other put up this cry.
Duty calls but We bid it wait; pleasure beck
ons. but we are not quite ready to embrace
her, virtue summons, bat we "stand upon the
order of going, asking her to bear yet lit
tie while without delay. And 50 we 90 on
throu I'll lie, sqaanderlng our time and op-
portunities, making all things that we can
wait upon our Incidence.
Wait 4 minute" Brother, heed not the
cry. 1t is that Of the syren, sweet it may
be, but Turing to death and ruin. Pause not
in your march toward your last rest. Do
what you have to do, instantly and earnest
ly, iift your banner boldly upon the air, and
push straight on toward the goal. Do 9th
erwise-pause whenever a neighbor bids
you "walt a minute and you will prove

FASHIONABLE ExTRAvAGANCE.-One OF
the editors of the Home Journal, (whether
"Hvacinth." "Mr. Gates" or "Gen. Nor
ris" we are uncertain has received the
following answer to note which he ad-
dressed to a young lady in Gotham, on the
subject of dress:-
"As to what it costs to dress lady now
a-days, (your question:, different persons
would answer very differently. | should
think the least, for the mere dress of one
who goes out great deal, might be thous-
and dollars a year and that spent very care
fully. Two thousand is nearer the average.
probably, though even this is without in
Guiding furs and jewelry. Russian sabes
and diamonds, are boug ght, of course, but
once in a lifetime, and yet there are other
adornments upon which woman who dress
ess at all thOughtlessly, may easily spend
three or four thousand. Those who give
the parties should thank these ladies, for
they wonderfully embellish the lighted
rooms, and considering that they are very
certain not to be appreciatively admired by
the other sex, they spend their money and
time very disintereStedly."
W e can Judge now why gold leaves the
country, and hard times come in; why young
men OF moderate means become rusty, crus-
ty Old bachelors, careless and vicious; why
bank tellers default, and railroad presidents
Schuylerlze; and why an American fashion
able home is no home at all, but only col
lection OF little rooms for purposes Of toilet,
and big rooms for purposes of parade
