Hospital of Pesth, Hungary would call public at

is not in the catalogue of human maadies one more

the system under its dcteroratng influence is
either impaired or entirely destroyed and class
of symptoms supernduced, 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 censorum, 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 timdty. nervous
excitement from ight causes loss of memory con

IMPORTANT TO MINERS, TRAVELLERS, ETC-There
i is no malady Of deeper Importance, either in
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 physi-
clan TO look at disease it affects health and life,
and his sole object should be to mitigate, far
lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Humun ma
ture at best is but frail all 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, frightful
its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and loathsome grave, it becomes of
still greater Importance when il is transmitted TO
innocent offspring. Such being the case how
cessary it becomes that every having reason TO
fear that they have contracted the disease should
attend to il at once by consulting some physician,
whose respectabilty 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 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 grons ulcers in the throat secondary yphil
is cuaneous eruptions alterations tertiary syphil
is syphilis in children, mercureal syphilitic aiec
tons, gonorrhua, gleet, structures false passages
Inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands
cNcOrallOns, JUNIORS, pOstule-, ec, are as lalnllar
to him as the most common things of daily observa-
tion.
The Doctor effects a 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-
pcion, or obige him TO neglect his business, wheth-
or 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.
