Mr. EpIroR :-Sir-It is a duty we owe to the
public and also DIR. c. H. Tozer of Sacramento,

are five of us that have been under Dr. Tozers care
for the last fortnight with diseases of exraordi
nary nature. One with an old chronic complaint of
some years standing, from which he had given up
all hopes of ever getting cured for he had employ
ed several Physicians without getting any relief
lie was covered with spots and sores from his anlS-
les to his head and he is happy to inform the pub
lie that he is now free from every appearance Of
disease, and is in better health than he has been for
years
Another of the number came down from the most
northern Mines suffering from what is called Semi
nal weakness. He had become so weak, he could
not work for loss of memory, dimness of sight DC
and he will be happy to speak fors himself; if any
doubt it, he can be seen at the above mentioned
Doctors Office The others were recent complaints
and were perfectly cured in six days, and are now
perfectly well and hearty. | myself have been
troubled with disease for the last six months. and

to Sacramento, and am happy to say, am now well
for which shall ever feel grateful for think Dr.

ting attention, and can recommend him las the most

Dr. Ts reputation as a Physician stands unequal
ed His exclusive attention to diseases of the Gen
ito Urinary Organs for so many years, renders him
perfect master Of Syphilitic 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 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 perfect health. Hewoud further state, he deems
il sufficient to attract the attention Of those who

! IMPORTANT TO MINERS TRAVELLERS, ErC.-There
1 is no maady of deeper Importance either in a
medical OF moral point of view, to which the hu-
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As medical man. ii is the duty OF every physi-
clan to look at disease MS it affects health and life,
and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far as
lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Humun ma

OF all the ills that affect man, none are more ter

il is in the person who contracts ii. frghtful are
its ravaQes upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and oathsomc grave, ii becomes of
still greater importance when it 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 safe, speedy, and permanent cure. In ac-
cordance with this necessity, Dr. Young 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 We
nercal, 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.
