IMPORTANT TO MINERS, TRAVELLERS, ETC.-Thcre
L is no malady of deeper Importance, either in a
medical or moral point of view, to which the hui
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 it affects health and life
aud his sole object should be to mitigate, far as
lies In his power, the bodily suffering Humun ma
ure at best is but frail all liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man, are more ter
ribe than those Of private nature. Dreadful as
il is in the person who contracts it, frghtful are
its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and oathsome grave, it becomes of
still greater importance when it is transmitted to
innocent offspring Such being the case how ne
cessary II 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 respectabity and education enables him to
warrant a safe, speedy, and permanent cure In ac-
cordancc with this necessity, Dr. Young eelscalled
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 syphiltic atlec
tons gonorrhna, gleet structures. false passages,
inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands,
excavations, tumors, postules etc. are familiar
to hmas the most common things OF daily observa-
tion.
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
pcion 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 (amountng 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.
All letters, enclosing $40, will be promptly at
tended to. Office hours from A. NJ. to 8 r. NJ.

in the head dimness of sight loss of muscular pow
er, palpiation Of the heart dyspepsia nervousness
irritablity; arrangement of the digestive functions
general debility, symptoms of consumption, &c.
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, sefdistrust love of solitude, timid
ity, &c., NC, are some of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on Dr. \.
and be at once restored to perfect health. Let no
false delicacy prevent you, but apply Immediately
and save yourself from the dreadful and awful con-
sequences of this terrible maady.

SPERMAT0RRH0SA, or Local WEAKNEss.--Dr
- CZAPKAY, late lecturer on Diseases of women
and children. and chief Surgeon of the Military
Hospital of Pesth, Hungary, would call public at
tention to spermatorrh9a or local weakness. There
is not in the catalogue of human maladies more
to be deprecated than this, we'll because of pres
ent distress as the ultimate results. The tone of
the system under its deteriorating influence is
either impaired or entirely destroyed, and class
of symptoms superinduced. 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 trifing when compared to
those of the censorium, 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 condi-
tions beyond the comprehension Of the uninitiated
but which are well understood by the regular prac
titoner. Among the symptoms most conspicuous
are the following Love of solitude, aversion to
business and society distressing timidity. nervous
excitement from ght causes, loss Of memory, con-
fusion Of ideas, inability to reason correctly, low
spirits and lasstUde, dulness of apprehension and
misanthropy. These being functional derar gc-
ments are often the harbingers of horrid organic
LESSONS OF the bran which produces fatuity, demen
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 the means by which they
may reeuperate and live. All consultation, by let
ter or otherwise, free.
