IMPORTANT TO MINERS TRAVELLERS ETc.-There
L is no malady of deeper Importance, either in a
medical or moral point of view, to which the hu-
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As medical man. it is the duty of every physi-
clan to look at disease it affects health and life,
and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far
lies in his power the bodily suffering. Humun ma
ture at best is but ra; all liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man. none are more ter
rible than those of private nature Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, righful
its ravages upon his constitution ending frequently
in destruction and loathsome grave ii becomes of
still greater importance when it is transmitted to
innocent offspring. Such being the case how ne
cessary it becomes that every one having to
fear that they have contracted the disease, should
attend to it at once by consulting some physician,
whose respectability and education enables him to
warrant safe, speedy and permanent cure. In ac-
cordance with this necessity, Dr. Young feels called
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 syphi
is, cutaneous eruptions alterations tertiary syph
is, syphilis in children, mercureal syphilite afec-
tions, gonorrhea, geet, structures false passages.
Inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands,
eXcorlatlons, tumors poStules, etc., are as familiar
to him as the most common things OF daily observa-
ton.
The Doctor effects a cure in recent cases in a 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-
picon, or oblige him to neglect his business wheth
er 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 are matters that require
