A CARD.-FROM DR. YOUNG'S PRIVATE
IA MEDICAL office-To the afflicted-Iu
this age of progress, when science is develop
ing itself in such a manner as to appear al
most miraculous, everything in common place
is looked upon as not worth notice. In view
Of this fact, DR.. Young, corner of Montgomery
and California streets, has concluded to leave
the beaten track hitherto pursued by most
scientific physicians, Chat of waiting for the
public to find you out alone,) and publish tc
the world, as much as may be, his knowledge
of the healing art, to let those who be in neea
of assistance know where they can h1d relier
without fear Of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this object Dr. YOUNG
would say, that of the past ten years Ae has
pursued the practice Of medicine in one of the
largest cities in the United States, with the
highest success, and that his standing as a
physician is without reproach, having at one
time been lecturer at the University of Penn
sylvania on venereal diseases, &c
Upon all of these considerations, DR.. Young
has confidence in introducing himself to the
public, knowing that they will sustain well
earned merit.
The following are few of the many tcsti-
monials which have appeared in the public
journals the last few years:
From the Boston Medical Journal I
Although We Nre olpOsSu 10 tue system OF
advertising, for good and sufficient reasons
still we deem it but justice to say that DR.
Young is one of the most industrious and in
defatigable votaries of the medical science in
the United States.
From Professor Jackson1
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
DR.. Young, and has seen much of his practice
and can bear testimony to his merits as
practitioner.
TFrom the New York Herald
The eminence Of this distinguished gentle
man in his profession. and the very extended
opportunities possessed by him for the obser
yation of venereal disease, makes his services
invaluable to those afflicted with the above
complaints.
From the Wing and Advertiser
All afflicted with private complaints should
consult DR.. Young, whose education is not
surpassed by any physician in the country
In his skill, honor and integrity all may rely
with safety, while most of the practitioners in
this city are without honesty or respeetability
their pretension being grounded in ignorance
and assumption.

Ed RIVATE MEDICAL OFFICE. Hundreds
K of those who have contracted disease are
disappointed Of a cure by not calling on DR..
YOUNG at first. lie will forfeit any sum il
he fails to cure any case that may come under
his care, no matter how long standing or af-
ficting, such as ulcers, tumors, nodes, bunch
es, pimples on the face and body, pains in the
bones and joints, wakefulness, trembling,
copper colored sores, wasting of the bones,
emaciation, loss of appetite, strength and flesh,
sores in the noes and ears, loss of hair, weak
eyes, itching humors, &c, &c. Many persons
after being relieved Of all external appear
ances of private disease, suppose themselves
cured but after few months find they are
troubled with various symptoms which they
never had before, ann which they find it i'm
possible to relieve. To all who are afflicted in
this way, Dr. Young would particularly re-
commend a trial of his skill. The symptoms
with which you are troubled are caused by
tants in the blood which sooner or later will
destroy your health and happiness. No per-
son who has ever had attack of any private
complaint should not fail to consult DIR. Young,
and take few bottles of his invaluable puri-
flying medicine, as they can rest assured that
their blood is in perfectly pure and healthy
condition, and that every trace Of disease is
removed from the system.
Recent cases cured in from two TO five days
without change of diet or hindrance from
business, or no charge.

MEssns. EpfroRs - 4 correspondent
Ia yoa. paper of tie 4th ultiipo, lays down
| series of propositions, which, taken in
en- sense, have. presume, never been
disputed The first is" There is no such
thing as ,he law O. Perfect equality" We
admit it. Selec; any two inen-Newton
aId Fo!tsirc, for instance,-and you have
! specimen OF the inequality of man. One
, could follow the "petiless comet" on its
erra,ie ;ourney-explain the laws of the
celestial bodies, and discover new princi-
plies o. the universe. but could not, as the
oiher, define the sublime doctrines OF hu-
man freedom nor, wisa language all but
inspired, teach The rights ef suffering hu-
man;ty. But does your correspondent,
meaa ,e say shat Merton should therefore
impose npoh the immortal FrenchEaan a
political S, stem which he delested. or that
Voltaire had any righ, to make the great
mathematician swear feahy to a consiilu-
iion which he considered unjust and tyran-
nicsl. Men aIe not equal either mentally
or physically, but j. By no ,aeans follows
iha, the wiser should rule ,hc less talented,
o, tina, the strong should oppress the weak.
Indeed, all Legislation, human a nd divine,
rs intended TO prevent such calamity.
Again. he says: I" The many are never
as wise as the few" Admitted but are
the " wise" better qualified to govern tl,an
those who may not be SO Intellectually
great but doubly honest. Are they better
able to tell the many what kind Of gov
ernmental regulations are mos, likely to
bless them what persons are mos, worthy
to BE entrusted With power and authority
over them. They are not, and all human
experience is Illustrative Of the fact.
Superior vision, when it is directed to
and employed in the cause Of humanity,
whether in spreading the Brightness Of its
knowledge among the less informed, or in
alleyiating the suferings of It's fellows, is
indeed spectacle worthy of venera;ion !:
Tut when, with its .oo frequent compa nion,
ambition, it strains and prostitutes every
energy OF It's mighty endowment to gain
dominion and power, and keep in suhuga-
ton to its unholy sway every soul md body
it can bend to It's authority, ,he many may
be permitted TO hesitate before they bow In
blind alteration before the tyrannical shrine
,,f h,,a si.,; wisdom.
Again, men are not, in my opinion, so
much unequal as they are unlike, dihersut.
4 benevolent God has bestowed upon his
creatures generally the amount Oh genius,
talent, intelligence. wisdom. or Whatever
you choose to call it, necessary for the po-
sition they occupy; and if some know
mere .hsn others. il is chiefly because their
opportunities have been letter. The un-
lettered peasant. or uneducaied farmer is
often as wise. ' though in different way"
as the redabtic professor, or The polnpous
philosopher; and ean tell the proper man
to clcths with authority as well as your
correspondent, or even as a man whom he
would admit TO be his superior in wisdom.
