the .4NiCted of California.

TN approaching any new course Of systematic in
L quiry there are certain points concerning which
the inquirer should always be careful to satisfy
himself He should comprehend distinctly what the
subject of inquiry is-Health and Disease.
And we can form and fix in our minds clear
conception of the state of Health, we shall have no
difficulty in understanding what is meant by Dis
ease. But beyond not above these objects of in
vestigaton of the human body, we have another
and still nober end. II is to lay before you in such
plain terms that you cannot be mistaken and will
know where to apply for relief
Iuse the word of 'dseasep generally, aud be-
fore speak of the signs of particular diseases, it
will be proper to take general view of symptoms.
When person is troubled afflicted with disease,
which causes werkness of the back and limbs,
pain in the head, dimness of sis h loss of muscu-
lar power, palpitation of the heart, irratabiity,
nervousness dyspepsia, arrangement of the diges-
tive functions, general debility, symptoms of con-
sumption, and many Others which are better ex-
planned than put on paper, and requires Medical or
Surgical Attention, il would be well for them to
inquire if thare is physician who iseompetent to
attend them, and who understands the application
of medicine, and whose SCIENTIFIC ATTAIN
MENTS in his profession and whose age and eX-
perience entitle him to your confidence. Consider
/ these things, Dr. c. III. TozER has concluded to in
form you that are afflicted advertising his place of
business stating that be has been successful prac
| titioner for over twenty-five years, and has
ATTENDED AND CURED HUNDREDS,
when they have been considered by other phys-
clans, and have been pronounced by them past re-
covery. Therefore you can rely upon him one
in whom SECRECY and the utmost confidence can be
placed.
Dr. G. H. I. would invite all that are afflicted to
call ON him. and if he does not administer for them,
| there will be no charge made. Let no false delca-
cy prevent yon but apply Immediately, and save
yourself from the dreadful consequences which
must follow those who neglect to receive atten-
dance.

DR. TOZER returns his thanks to his numerous
IL patients for their patronage and would EN-
brace this opportunity to remind them that he con-
tinues toconsut on those difficult cases of vENEREAL
which have baflled the skill of some of the most
celebrated physicians of the age, and upon which
he has never failed 10 perform radical cure.
Dr. Tozers reputation as Physician stands un-
eoualed His exclusive attention to Diseases of the
Gento Urinary Organs for so many years, renders
him perfect master of Syphilitic 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 all cases
of varieties of the disease, no matter how long
standing, of what piogress the disease has made,
every patient can rely upon a cure.
Dr. Tozer has it is well known, taken patients
from the very verge of the grave, and RESTORED
THEM TO PERFECT HEALTH. lie further
states that he deems it sufficient to attract the at
tention of those who might need the services OF a
physician in ALL cases. not particularly those emu
merated in the advertisement, expecting that they
would test my merits practitioner, and the re-
suit of my practice has been thus far satisfactory to
nv patients and myself. Nor do deem ii neces.
sary to fill columns OF the newspapers withiulsome
empiric and bombastic advertisements, protesting
my ability to heal all diseases flesh is heir to, for TO
do that must be something more than man, but to
CHRONIC, and other diseases, to understand from
long experience, am fully competent to treat them
successfully
My regard for the dignity of the medical profes-
sion to which have the honor to belong deters me
from committing any act savoring of rank quack-
cry, and regard for my own dignity would prevent
my placing myself on par with quacks and nos
trum vendors of the present age.
/ offer no genuine or fraudulent certificates or
puffs of my superior qualifications practitioner
neither do | assume to myself medical honors te
which am net entitled, bat merely ask those who
are diseased to read the different advertisements
relating to the of private diseases, and judge
for themselves where to apply for relief (My
rooms are so arranged that can be consulted in
privacy at all hours Of the day, from O'Clock in
the morning until in the evening.

of her affections like possum to gum tree,
aud you cannot separate her without snap
ming strings no art can mend, and leaving a
portion of her soul upon the upper-leather Of

thing to love where others see nothing even
to admire; and when her fondness is once
fastened on fellow, it sticks like glue and

Serenade for May.

Come, Julia, love, It's morning,
Old winters passed away;
And gentle spring, returning,
Leadsin the blushing May.
The dazzling sun appearing,
Lights up the eastern wood
And many wanton cloud its form
Battles in his radient flood.
Nights shadows are receding,
Before his heavenly ray;
And the blue mist melts as doubts Of thee
Pass from my soul away.
Oh hastel the crimson beams are now
Ger meadow, grove, and bower;
And softly huns the golden bee
Round every open flower

Fashion.

Time was when girls their bonnets wore
Projecting half yard before;
When beauty was thus hidden deep,
Twas something e'en to get peep;
But now-oh woman's fickle mind
They wear their bonnets all behind;
While men their features hide with hair,
The ladies go with faces bare,
And fancy all admire who stare
So this will pass in history's page
AS changeful woman's bare-faced age.

A CARD
Prompted bv an honest desire of my heart, / wish
to lay before the public q case which deserves
high commendation, not only as an act of scientific
skill, but that of humanity also. About two years
ago | suddenly and from causes unknown to me,
was seized with fit of epilepsy which, owing to
my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon
thorough medical treatment, and the discourage
ment which met with on attempting IT,, soon be-
came such las was then led to beleve) as to defy
the skill of physician was frequently, while in
pursuit of my calling, thrown down to the ground
without the slightest warning, and although insen-
sbe to the agonies, yet despised the miserles of
life, and learned to look upon those who would
render me assistance or shelter me from danger as
enemies who sought to prolong the misery of my
existence. While in this state and having previ-
GUS to my afction tasted the sweets OF life, was
once more induced to attempt seeking aid of ply
sician and by recommendation called upon DR.. L..
J. Capkay j told him my circumstances and my
inability to reward him for his services regardless
of which, however, he at once undertook my case.
and, with the blessings of God, was once more re-
stored to perfect health Unable to reward him for
the boon which enjoy at present, and yet conscious
of my Indebtedness, consider il due to myself and
to all afflicted, to make the case public, in order
that those in need Of medical advice may find
physician in whom every confidence may be placed.
