Mr.. EDITOR :-Sir-It is duty we owe to the
public, and also DR.. c. IL. Tozer, of Sacramento,
that induces to come before the public with the
statement we are now making.
see that it is the custom of some Physicians TO
advertise their own pufIs which read as though you
you yourself had put them in your paper There
five of that have been under DIR. Tozer's care
for the last fortnight with diseases of extraordi
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
He was covered with spots and sores from his ank
les to his head, and he is happy to inform the pub
lie that he is now free from every appearance o
disease and is in better health than he has been oi
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 &c.
and he will be happy to speak fol 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. l myself have been
troubled with disease for the last six months and
could not get cured in the country, and came down
to Sacramento, and am happy to say, am now well
for which shall ever feel grateful for think Dr.
Us great success Is in consequence of his unremit
ting attention, and can recommend him as the most
judicious practitioner ever knew.

Mr.. G. called upon me last February and
stated that he had employed number of Physi-

He remained under my care one week, after which
supplied him with medicine and advice. In two
months received a letter of thanks from him. in
which he says he has done more work this Spring,
than at one time, and never enjoyed better health
BY this il can be seen, that persons afflicted with
disease need not go beyond Sacramento City to find
relief.

Institute for the cure of all forms of private dis
ease--such as Syphilis, Gonorrhga, Nocturnal En-
ssions, aud all the consequences of self abuse. In
the first stages Of Syphiltic Gonorrhea diseases
he guarantees cure in few days, without incon-
venience to the patient, or hndrance to his busi-
ness. When patient, by neglect OF improper
treatment, has developed the secondary symptoms
of Syphilis such MS Buboes or other painful swell
ings on the grons, or Ulcers in the throat or
which II not checked, destroy the soft parts and
cause the bones to mortify, separate and come
away, leaving the sufferer an object hdeous to be-
hold; or when spotches or pmples break out upon
the skim or when he has painful swellngs upon the
bones or when his constitution Is injured so as to
predispose to consumption or other constitutional
disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks no

DOCTOR TOZER returns his thanks to his nu-
IL merous 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 baffled 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. T's reputation as Physician stands unequal
ed. His exclusive attention to diseases of the Gen
ito Urinary Organs for so many years, renders him
perfect master of Syphilitc 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 Tozer has, it is well known, taken patients
from the very verge of the grave and restored them
to perfect health. He would further state he deems
it sufficient to attract the attention of those who
might need the services of Physician in all cases,
but particularly those enumerated in the advertise
ment, expecting they would test my merits as a
practitioner and the result of my practice, thus far
has been satisfactory to my patients and TO myself

IMPORTANT TO MINERS TRAVELLERS, ETC.--Therc
l. is no malady 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, II Is the duty Of every phys-
clan TO look at disease as IL affects health and life
and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far as
lies in his power the bodily suffering. Humun ma
ture 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, frghtful as are
its ravages upon his constitution ending frequently
in destruction and loahsome grave, 1t becomes OF
still greater importance when 1t 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 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 as ulcers, swelling
in the groins ulcers in the throat secondary syphi
is, cutaneous eruptions alterations tertiary syphil
is, syphilis in children, mercureal syphiltic afec-
tions, gonorrh9a, gleet structures false passages
inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands
excoriatons, 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 difficulty in curing those of long
duration, without submitting the patient to such
treatment as will draw upon him the slightest sus
picon or obige 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 matters that require
the incest secresy. which he always preserves.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL Debility, or seminal weak

CONSTITUTIONAL Debility, or seminal weak
~ ness--Dr. Young addresses those who have in-
iured themselved by private and improper indul-
gences in that secret and solitary habit which ruins
the body and mind, uniting them for either busi-
ness or society. The following are some Of the sad
and melancholy effects produced by early habits Of
youth, viz Weakness in the back and limbs pain
in the head, dimness of sight loss of muscular pow
er, palpitation of the heart dyspepsia, nervousness,
irritabiy 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 forebodngs, aver
sion to society, selfdistrust love of solitude timd
ity, &c., &C., are some Of the evils produced
All persons who afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on Dr. Y.
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 malady.

CPERMATORRH0sA, 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 spermatorrhoa 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 dcteriorating 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 lamentable but trihing 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, sel-abuse, involves pathological cond-
tons beyond the comprehension Of the unntiated
but which are well understood by the regular prac
ttioner. 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 asstude, dulness of apprehension and
misanthropy. These being functional derar 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
map rely with perfect confidence upon that skill
which long experience and thorough devotion TO
his profession has given. Those who suffer should
