IMPORTANT TO MINERS TRAVELLERS. Erc.-There
i Is no malady of deeper Importance, either in
medical or moral point of view, to which the hu-
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As medical man. it is the duty of every physi-
clan to look at disease IL affects health and life,
and his sole object should be to mitigate, far as
lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Humun ma
ture at best is but frai; all liable to misfortune
OF allthe ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those of a private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it. frghtful
its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and loathsome grave, it becomes Of
still greater Importance when it is transmitted to
innocent offspring. Such being the case how ne
cessary it becomes that every having reason to
fear that they have contracted the disease should
attend to it at once by consulting some physician
whose respectability and education enables him to
warrant safe speedy and permanent cure. In ac
cordance with this necessity, Dr. Young feescalled
upon to state that, by long study and extensive
practice, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination of We
nereal and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other physician in the United States
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its FORMS such as ulcers, swelling
In the groins ulcers in the throat secondary syphil-
is cutaneous eruptons ulcerations tertiary syphil
is syphilis in children mercureal syphitic affec-
tons gonorrh9a, gleet, structures. false passages
inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands
excoratons, tumors postules, etc. are as familiar
to him as the most common things of daily observa-
! ton.
The Doctor effects cure in recent cases in few
days, and finds no difficulty in curing those of long
duration, without submitting the patient to such
treatment will draw upon him the slightest sus-
picon, oblige him to neglect his business wheth-
er within doors or without. The diet need not be
changed, except in cases of severe inflammation
There are in California patients amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could furnish
proof of this but these are matters that require
the incest secresy, which he always preserves.

GRATITUDE is THE

COMPLETION OF TH-7.yRFUL.NESS.
Vie ingratiude of man to his fellow man is so
l. often met with in life that testimonials

oasis IN the life of those who sacrifice their best

the columns of our press with fraudulent and fct-
tlous letters, singing peans to the worth of their
own egotistlcal charatanism. Below we append

seemed destined to shuttle OFF this mortal coil who

OF skllful ply has restored him to his for

and impeiled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent and his statement is au-
Ihentlcated by Notary Public. The demands of
society mperiously command its publicity, and it
is gwen more to warn the unwary than TO sound the
praises OF physician of whom scores of like cases

CONSTITUTIONAL Debility, OF seminal weak
~ ness--Dr. Young addresses those who have in
jured themseved by private and improper indul-
gences in that secret and solitary habit which ruins
the body and mind uniting them for either busi-
ness OF society. The following are some of the sad
and melancholy effects produced by early habits of
youth. viz Weakness " the back and limbs, pain
in the head, dimness of sight loss of muscular pow
er, papitation of the heart dyspepsia nervousness
irritability arrangement of the digestive functions
general debility, symptoms of consumption, NC.
MENTALLY the fearful effects on the mind are
more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of
ideas depression of spirits, evil forebodings aver
sion to society selfdistrus love of solitude, timid
ity, &c, &c, are some of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on DIR. Y.
and be at once restored to perfect health. Let no
false deleacy prevent you, but apply Immediately
and save yourself from the dreadful and awful
sequences of this terrible malady.
Weakness of the Organs Immediately cured, and
full vigor restored. DR., J. c. YOUNG,

CPERMATORRHGA, or LOCAL WEAKNEss.-Dr
~ CZAPkAf, late lecturer on Diseases of women
and children, and chief Surgeon of the Military
Hospital of Pesth Hungary, would call public at
tenton TO spermatorrhpa or local weakness. There
is not in the catalogue of human maladies more
to be deprecated than this well because of pres
ent distress, as the ultimate results. The tone of
the system under its deteriorating influence is
either impaired entirely destroyed, and a class
of symptoms supernduced. that units man for the
performance of any of the ordinary duties of life
The injuries done to the physical part of man are
truly amentable, but trifiing when compared to
those of the censorum, the great nervous centre,
and to the great nervous system generally. This
disease which is too often consequent upon that SOL
itary vice, selfabuse, involves pathological cond-
tions beyond the comprehension of the unintiated,
but which are well understood by the regular prac
titioner. Among the symptoms most conspicuous
are the following love of solitude, aversion to
business and society, distressing timidity nervous
excitement from slight causes loss of memory, con-
fusion of ideas, inability to reason correctly, low
spirits and lasstude, dullness of apprehension and
misanthropy These being functional derar ge-
ments. are often the harbingers of horrid organic
LESSONS of the BRAIN which produces fatuity delnen-
tia and death
For the cure of this and all kindred of diseases,
Dr. Czapkay has established his Institute, where all
map rely with perfect confidence upon that skill
which long experience and thorough devotion to
his profession has given. Those who suffer should
call without delay, and use the means by which they
may recuperate and live. All consultation, by let
