EMPORTANT.-DR. j. G. YOUNG wishes to call
IL the attention of invaids to his course of prac-
tice. The Dr. has long since abandoned the mer
curial treatment and has strictly followed the
Vegetable Practice. Patients under treatment
with him are not confined to the house, nor taken
from their business. but can go about and eat as
asual. The Dr.'s mode of treatment in sases Of
debility both general and sexual is not surpassed
by any physician ard always results in perfect
removal Of their troubles. DR.. Y. has discovered
a new mode Of treating affections Of the Liver,
which after fair trial has been submitted to the
Professors Of several Of the medical institutes Of
the States. and pronounced by them, as perfectly
successful and has been adopted by them in their
practice. In the treatment Of incipicnt consump-
ton and diseases of the blood, the DR., stands pre-
eminent in his profession and will warrant cure
in all cases. The following testimonial speakes
for itself
DIR. J. C. YOUNG Sir Your mode of treat
ing affections Of the Liver. and diseases of the
Blood has proved, by repeated trials. to be the
best yet afforded to the faculty, and has been
adopted by the board. Continue to study the
hnman system as you have done. and you will
yet stand at the head of your profession
