DOCTOR TOZER returns his thanks to his nu-
~ mcrous patients for their patronage, and would
embrace this opportunity to remind them that he
continues to consult on those difficult cases of We
nereal, which have baflled the skill of some of the
most celebrated physicians of the age, and upon
which he has never failed to
PERFORM A RADICAL CURE.
DR.. It's reputation as a Physician stands unequal
cd His exclusive attention TO diseases of the Cen
ito Urinary Organs for so many years, renders him
perfect master of Syphiltic diseases.
The large number of aggravated cases that he
has perfectly cured after they have been given up
by many Others, is the only proof that Physician
requires of his ability Doctor Tozer would state
that he can cure any and all varieties of the dis
ease no matter how long standing, or what progress
the disease has made, every patient can rely upon
cure.
Doctor TozCr has, it is well known, taken patients
from the very verge of the grave, and restored them
to rfect health. He would further state, he deems
il sufficient TO attract the attention of those who
mi ght need the services of Physician III all cases,

ment, expecting they would test my merits as Il

| is no maady of deeper Importance, either in q
medical or moral point of view, 70 which the hui
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As a med cal man. it is the duty of every physi-
clan to look at disease as it affects health and life
and his sole object should be to mitigate, as lar as
lies in his power the bodily suffering Humun ma
ture at best is but rai all are liable to misfortune
Ofall the ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those of private nature. Dreadful as
is in the person who contracts IT. fr ghiul as are
its rlvaQes upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and loathsome grave, ii becomes o.
st,l greater Importance when il is Transmitted to
innocent Offspring. Such being the case how ne
cessary it becomes that every one 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 n safe, speedy, and permanent cure In ac-
cOrdance with this necessity, Dr. loung feels called
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 ve-
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 MS ulcers swelling
in the groins ulcers in the throat secondary syphil
is cutaneous eruptions alterations tertiary syphil
is syphilis in children, mercureal syphllltc alice
tions gonorrhoa. gleet, structures. false passages
Inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands,

ton.
The Doctor effects cure in recent cases in few
days and finds difficulty in curing those of long
duration, without submitting the patient to such
treatment as will draw upon him the slightest sus-
pc,on. or 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
