DRIYATE Medical and surgical

l. Institute.--Dr. l.. j. Czapkay has opened MS
Institute for the cure of all forms of private dis
ease-such as Syphilis, GonorrhGa, Nocturnal En-
issions, and all the consequences OF self abuse In
the first stages of Syphilic GonorrhGal diseases,
he guarantees a cure in a few days, without incon-
venience to the patient or hndrance to his busl-
ness. When a patient, by neglect or improper
treatment has developed the secondary symptoms
of Syphilis such as Buboes or other painful swell
ings on the grons or Ulcers in the throat or nose
which if not checked, destroy the soft parts and
cause the bones to mortfy separate and come
away leaving the sufferer object hideous to be-
hold or when splotches or pimples break out upon
the skin. or when he has painful swellings upon the
bones. or when his constutiorfis injured so as to
predspose to consumption or other constitutional
disease the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks no
compensation.
In RHEUMATISM, chronic or acute; in DYS
EMERY or DIARHQlA, he has safe and efiectual
remedies For the treatment of the consequences
of self abuse such as nocturnal emissions, head
ache. tmidity, pains in the back and limbs, with
general weakness, loss of Appetite loss of memory,
injury TO the sight restessness, confusion of ideas
dislike for society and feeling of WEAKNESS Of
life: with the nervous system so eXctabe that
slight noises shock or startle the patient, making
his existance miserable For the above malades
the Doctor will guarantee cure or ask no com
pensation. lie can be consulted free of charge
and invites all to call, il will cost them nothing
and may be much to their advantage. His Offices

IMPORTANT TO MINERS, TRAVELLERS, ETc.--There
/ is no maady of deeper importance, either in a
medical or moral point of view, TO which the hu-
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As a medical man, it is the duty Of every physi-
clan to look at disease it affects health aud life,
and his sole object should be to mitigate, as lar as
lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Humun ma
ure at best is but frai all are liable to misfortune.
OF all the 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, irghfui rs are
its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and a loathsome grave, IL becomes OF
still 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 responsibility and education enables him to
warrant a safe speedy, and permanent cure. In ac-
cordance with this necessity, DR.. Young eesealled
upon to state that, by long study and extensive
uractice he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination of We
norcal 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 orons ulcers in the throat, secondary syphil
is cutaneous eruptons ulceratons tertiary syphil-
is syphilis in children, mcrcureal syphitic alice
tions. gonorrhGa, gleet structures false passages,
Inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands,
eXcoriations tnmors pOstules, etc, are as familiar
to him as the most common things of daily obscrva-
ton
The Doctor effects a cure in recent cases in a 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
picion or oblige him to neglect his business, wheth
cr 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 ycar) that could furnish
proof of this; but these are matters that require
the incest secresy, which he always preserves.

- 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 spermatorrhGa or local weakness. There
is not in the catalogue of human maladies one 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 or entirely destroyed, and class
of symptoms supcrinduced. 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 amentabe, but trfing 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 sef-abuse, involves pathological condi-
tions beyond the comprehension of the uninitated,
hut 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 timidiy. nervous
excitement from slight causes, loss OF memory, con
fusion of IDEAS inability to reason correctly, low
spirits and lassitude dizziness of apprehension and
These being functional dear ge-
ments. are often the harbingers of horrid organic
LESSONS of the brain which produces faulty demen-
tia and death.
For the cure of this and all kindred of diseases,
Dr. Czapkay has established his Institute. where all
