nR. TOZER returns his thanks to his numerous
~ patients for their patronage. and would en-
brace this opportunity to remi nd them that he
continues to consult on those difficult case of W.
NEREAL which have baiilcd the skill of some of the
most celebrated physicians of the age, and upon
which he has nerer .faiied to perform a radical
cure.
DR.. Tozcr's reputation rs a Physician stands un-
equuled. His exclusive attention to diseases OF the
genito urinary organs. for so many years, renders
him perfect master of syphilitc diseases.
The large number of aggravated cases that he
has perfectly cured after they have been given up
by many others is the only proof that physician
requires OF his ability. DR., ToZer would state
that he can cure any nnd all cases or varieties of
the diseases, no matter how long standing, or
what progress the disease has made, every pa
tient can rely upon cure.
DR.. ToZer has. it is we'll known. taken pa
tients from the very verge of the grave, and
restored them to perfect health He would fur
lhcr state. that he deems it sufficient to attract
the attention of those who might need the SER
vices of physician in all eases, but particulars
ly those enumerated in this advertisement ex-
ceptng they would test my merits rs a prac-
titioncr. and the result OF my practice has been
thus far satisfactory to my patients and myself.
Nor do | deem it necessary to fill columns Of
the newspapers with fusome empire and bonn
bastic advertisements, protesting my ability to
heal all diseases flesh is heir to. for to do that
| must be ethiug more than man. but to give
those that are afflicted with Vencral Chronic.
and other diseases. to understand, from long en-
periencc, am fully competent to treat them
successfully.
My regard for the dignity of the medical pro-
fcssion; to which | have the honor to belong
letcrs me from committing any act savoring Of
rank quackcry, and regard for my own dignity
would prevent my placing myself on par with
quacks and nostrum venders of the present age.
! offer no Fraudulent or genuine certificates or
rutis of my superior qualifications as a prac-
titoner; neither do | assume to myself medical
honors to which am not entitled, but merely
ask those who are diseased, to read the differ
cnt advertisements relating to the cure of pri-
vate diseases, and Judge for themselves where

brought. The dispatch to the Sacramento

The Los Angeles Star of December sth

days later than that received by the mail.
The company consists of sixteen persons.
Bell informs US that he left Salt Lake City
on the 9th of November. After two days
travelling, camped day or two. While en-
camped, an express arrived from the city,
which informed them that Col. Johnson had
arrived at Hams Fork and taken commands;
that communications, short but expressive,
had passed between the Colonel and Gov.
Young-the result Of which was, that COL
johnson ordered his command to be ready
next morning to advance on Salt Lake City,
where he intended to winter. Hams Fork
was about one hundred miles from the city.
The Mormons were stationed at Echo Canon,
about fifty miles from the city, through which
the troops must pass. A collision therefore,
was inevitable. The Mormons were in great
numbers, and were being rapidly reinforced
A march of two or three days would bring

at night into camp, and told the wagon
master, that they intended to give him time
to awake his men and remove their baggage
and bedding. They told him to save wag-
on to take his Iarty to the States, which he
did. They then set fire to the whole train.
The cattle were driven into Salt Lake City.
Bell says the Mormon force has been over
