DIR. ]. G., YOUNG'S
MEDICAL ADVERTISEMENTS,

HO THE AFFLICTED.-Readth the following
L recommendatory letters and then Judge be-
tween DR.. Young and those vampires that malign
his motives Avoid such men you would a
pestilence for there is death in their treatment.
All afflicted with disease of private orany other
nature should call upon DR.. j. G. Young, and
they would then avoid imposition and assist the
Doctor in his herculean labor of suppressing
quackery and empyricism. DR.. Ioungs charges
are moderate and within the reach of the most
humble.
DEWARE OF IMPOSITION.-In consequence
ID of the wide spread celebrity of DR.. Young,
numerous imposters have sprung into existence,
pretending to be perfect masters of the healing
art. and have Succeeded in imposing upon few
of the unwary sufferers. Persons wishing to con-
suit physician, should be very careful how they
put confidence in the published statements of such
charlatans, for they are as INSCRIPTIONS in such
statements as in their practice of medicine, and
very unsafe to trust They will first deceive
you by false certificates, procured from drunken
loafcrs," who perure themselves to get money to
satisfy the cravings ofa diseased appetite. When
such quack gains your confidence, he will then
dose you with mercury and other poisonous drugs
and after they have robbed you of your money
and injnred your constitution, they will cast you
off, with the charge, that you have not followed
their directions.
The only way to avoid such imposters, is to con-
suit DR.. j. G. Young, the Pioneer Advertising Ply
scian of California AT a meeting 0f the Medi-
cal Faculty in this State called to investigate the
source of malpractice that has caused so much
suffering in this country, it was unanimously re-
commended that all the afflicted should consult
DR.. Young, as he was the only regularly educated
Ply sician now advertising in California, all others
in his line being quacks and impostors. and are
not to be trusted. The afflicted will please take
notice, that there was not physician at the meet
ing who had ever seen or heard of single case
of malpractice from DR.. Young. while not one of
them but had number of cases from the
foreign quacks, who so vauntingly set forth their
pretended virtues in the public prints
The above facts should be borne in mind by all
seeking medical assistance.
Thank heaven. they are getting throughly ex
posed, and it will not be long before they will
have to fly the country. to avoid the just ndigna
tion of an outraged public. Then will all good
people thank DR.. Young for his continued efforts
| to Danish quackery from midst.

DISCLOSURES OF A Liquor DEALER.-Mr.
Delavan, President of the New York State
Temperance Society in his recent address
in the cpita at Albany, dwelt mainly on the
new prevalent aduteration Of liquors.
"Wthn few weeks, he said, it has come
to my knowledge, that person whose con
science revoled at his employment in a large
liquor establishment, has left it for more
innocent and creditable business. He stated
thai it now only took ten, some say four
gallons, of pure whisky to make a barrel
of the whisky of commerce. TO these are
added rain water, camphene and arsenic; the
latter to restore the bead destroyed by wa
ter.
He stated also, that brandy made TO imi-
tate the real French brandy, and Of materials
of the most poisonous character, was sold at
S4 per gallon costing only % cents. That
all kinds of wines were initiated so closely
that the best Judges could not discriminate :;
costing but trifle, and sold at prices to suit
toners. The higher standing of the Gus
toner, aud the more particular as to bls
wines the higher the price to satisfy him as
quality. The most celebrated European
dealers were given, 8s to the source OF sup
ply: and European dealers be it known, are
uot much behind, but much in advance OF
the American trader, in their adulterations.
He quotes an advertisement from chem
ist in New York, who is ''now prepared to
furnish the favorings for every kind OF i
qpqrs."
