MEDICAL ACVERTlSEME

NlO THE AFFLICTED.--Readth the following
/ recommendatory letters and then Judge be-
tween Dr. Young and those vampires that mallgn
his motives Avoid such men as you would
pestilence, for there is death in their treatment.
All afflicted with disease of private orany other
nature should call upon Or. D. Y. 1oung' ana
they would then avoid imposition and assist the
Doctor in his herculean labor of suppressing
ouackery and empyricism. DR.. Young's charges
are moderate and within the reach of the most
humble.
DEWARE OF 1MPOSITION.-In consequence
ID of the wide spread celebrity of DR.. Young,
numerous imposters have sprung into existence,
pretending to be perfect masters OF the healing
art and have Succeeded in imposing upon few
of the unwary sufferers. Persons wishing to con-
suit physician, should be very careful how they
put confidence in the published statements OF such
charlatans, for they are as unscrupulous 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
oafers," who perjure themselves to get money to
satisfy the cravings ofa diseased appetite. When
such quack gains your confidence, he VIII then
dose you with mercury and other poisonous drugs
and after they have robbed you of your money
and injured 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 Ply
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 scian 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 seen number of cases from the
foreign quacks, who so vauntingly 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 indgna-
ton of an outraged public. Then will all good
people thank DR.. Young for his continued efforts
| to Danish quackcry from our midst
| DIR. YOUNG can be consulted from s A. NJ. to
p. NJ at his Office, corner Of California and Mont
gomery streets, over the Pacific Express Office,
San Francisco.
All letters enclosing the usual fee of SO will
meet with prompt attention.

HAVE CONFIDENCE.

z AR. YOUNG will guarantee perfect and per-
EV manent cure in the following cases. orcharge
nothing for his services: Syphilis, Gonorrhpa,
Structure of the Urehra. Affection of the Rostrate
Gland. Weakness of the Ceaital Organs, Impoten-
cy. Steriity, both in male and female, Spermathra
or Seminal weakness, Nocturnal Emissions. Rheu-
matism, Dyspepsia Ind gcstion. Fever and Ague
Incipient consumption, and all irregularities in
females. together with all diseases of Women and
Children, also Nervousness, Palpitation of the
Heart, &c &c
Persons afflicted with symptoms. after being
treated, should consult Dr.. young at once as no
disease is cured unless the patient feels perfectly
well. If there is particle of disiase left in the
system, it will break out at some future time
when least expected. or be handed down to an in
nocent offspring. Persons who have been treated
with mercury should be very cautious in believing
that they are well, for it is Il scientific fact that
the mercury will mngle with the vencreal, and
form disease great deal worse than the org-
nal. All those who have reason to think, by
bad feelings that they have been trerted thus
should consult DR.. Young, and he will examine
their cases and tell them at once how they stand.

Given this my voluntary testimony in favor of

but to certain extent of my health.
