EMPORTANT-DRJ j. G. YOUNG wishes to call
Il the attention of invalids 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 not confined to the house, nor taken
from their business, but can 90 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 and always results in perfect
removal Of their troubles. Dr.. Y. has discovered
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 incpent 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.

MEDICAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

mo THE AFFLICTED.-Read the following
recommendatory letters and then Judge be-
tween Dr.. Young and those vampires tnat nlallSh
his motives. Avoid such men as you would a
pestilence for there is death in their treatment
All afflicted with disease of private orany other
nature should call upon Dr. j. G. Young, and
thew would then avoid imposition and assist the
Doctor in his herculean labor of supprcssng
uuackery and empyrcism DR.. 1oung's charges
are moderate and within the reach of the most
humble.
DEWARE OF IMPOSITION.-In consequence
ID of the wide spread celebrity OF DIR. oung,
numerous imposters have sprung into existence,
pretending to be perfect masters OF the healing
art and have Succeeded in imposing upon a lew
of the unwary sufferers Persons wishing to con-
suit physician, should be very careful how they
put confidence in the published statements OF such
charlataDs. for they are as INSCRIPTIONS in such
statements as in their practice Of medicine, and
are very unsafe to trust. They will first deceive
YOU by false certificates, procured from drunken
loafers" who perjure themselves to get money to
satisfy the cravings ofa diseased appetite when
sUch quack gains your confidence he Will then
dose YOU with mercury and other poisonous drugs
and after they have robbed you OF your money
and injurcd your constitution they will cast you
off with the charge, that you have not followed
their directions.
The only way to avoid such imposters, is to con-
suit DR.. J. G. Young the Pioneer Advertising Phy-
sician of California At meeting of the Medi-
cal Faculty in this State called to investigate the
source of malpractice that has caused so much
suffering in this country. it was unanimously re
commended that all the afflicted should consult
DR.. Young as he was the only regularly educated
Ply scan now advertising in California. all Others
in his line being quacks and impostors. and are
not to be trusted. The afflicted will please take
notice. that there was not physician at the meet
ing who had ever seen or heard of a single case
of malpractice from Dr. Young. while not one of
them but had number of cases from the
foreign quacks, who so vauntngly set forth their
pretended virtues in the public prints
The above facts should be borne in mind by all
seeking medical assistance.
Thank heaven. they are getting throughly ex-
posed, and it will not be long before they will
have to fly the country. to avoid the just ndigna-
ton of outraged public. Then will all good
people thank DR.. Young for his continued efforts
to Danish quackery from our midst

SO kind and unobstrusive were the

in ministering to her wants and comforts
that most bitterly did she Eeproach her
self for the cruel refusal of heart which
was once so generously offered her, and
which she was confident yet beat for her
alone.
"How can ever repay you dear Al
Ian, for the unselfsh generosity which
you have SO lavishly bestowed upon me?''
she one day exclaimed, almost involun-

voice, Kate, there is one way in which
you can remunerate me. Will you, can
you forget the past, and become my true

Forget the past p repeated Kate,
half doubling her own senses; yes, glad
ly. But can you, Allan2 Can you
forgive all the apparent heartlessness
which has actuated me, and which has
caused your heart so much unmerited
pain, and remember it only as the affect
of false pride, engendered by the most
cruel poverty?
It was the first time that she had ever
alluded to her rejection of his suit and
as she concluded she burst into passion
ate flood of tears. With allthe fondness
of lover and the respectful tenderness
of privileged friend, Allan, drew her to
his manly bosom, and wound his arms
gently around her neck.
There, safe from the farther blasts of
earthly trials and afiiction, and free
from the cares, sorrows and temptations
of poverty, we will leave her thrice CRATE

How ALE STRENGTHENED HIM.-We
believe we have got hold of an original
anecdote that never was printed before.
A student of one of our State Colleges
had barrel of ale deposited in his room
contrary, of course, to rule and usage.
He received summons to appear be4
fore the President, who said
"Sir-I am informed that you have
a barrel of ale in your room."
g :" Yes, sir. -
"Well, what explanation can you
make ?'' -7-..4
"Why, the fact is, sir; my physician
advises me to try little each day as d
tonic, and not wishing to stop at the
various places where the beverage is re.
tailed, I concluded to have barrel
taken to my room" Ia
"Indeed. And have you derived any
benefit from the use of it p,
"Ah, yes sir. When the barrel was
first taken to my room, two days since,
I could scarcely lift it. Now I can
carry it with the greatest ease.'
We believe the witty student was dis
charged without special reprimand.

Mr.. Snodgrass, jr., has been scoot-
ing around y. at the West, and some of
his experiences are rather amusing; we
copy an extract as follows:
=" When we got to the depot, went
round to take a. look at the old iron
hoss. Thunderation ! it wasn't no more
like q hoss than meetin' house. fl
was going to describe the animal, I'd
say it looked like-Mell, it looked like
darued if know what it did look like,
unless it was regular devil, snorting
| fire and birthstone out of, his nostrils,
and putting out black smoke all around,
and pa1tin', and sWellin', and chewing
up red hot Goals like they were good.
A Teller stood in little house like,
feedin' him all the time; but the more
he got, the more he wanted, and the
more he blowed and snorted. After a
spell the feller catched him by the tail,
and great JerichoI he set up yell that
split the ground for more'n n mile and
half, and the next moment I felt my
legs waggin', and found myself at the
other end of the string o. vehicles; I
wasn't streaked, but I had three chils
and stroke of the palsy in less than
FIVE minutes, and my face had a curious
brownish yal'r-green-bluish color in it
which. was perfectly unaccountable.
" Well" says I, comment is super
t2uons" And 1 took seat in the near
est wagin' of car, as they call it
a steamboat lookin' thing with string
of pews down each side big enough to
hold man and half: just then the
hoss hollered twice, and started off like
a streak, pitching me head first at the
stomach of big Irish woman, and she
gave a tremendous grunt, and then
ketched me by the head and crammed
me under the seat. The cars was a
jumpin' along nigh onto forty thousand
miles an hour everybody was bobbin'
up and down, and every one of EN- had
their mouth open and looked like they
were latin; I couldn't hear nothin';
the cars kept such racket. Bimeby
they stopped all at once, and then such
another laugh busted out O. them pass
engers as never hearn afore. Latin
at me, too, that's what made me mad,
and I was mad as thunder, too.- / ris
up, and shakin' my fist at 'em, says I,
a peaceable stranger ---A' and away
the train went as if the smallpox was
in town, jerkin me down into the seat
with. a whack, like I'd been thrown
from the moon, and their cussedmouths
tapped open and the fellers went to
bobbin' up and down again. I put on
an air of magnanimous contempt like,
and took no more notice of 'em, and
very naturally went to bobbin' up and
down myself."
