MEDICAL AEVERTlSEME

no THE AFFLICTED.-Read the following
recommendation letters and then judge be-
tween Dr. Young and those vampires that mallgn
his motives. Avoid such men as you would a
pestence. for there is death in their treatment
All afflicted with disease of aprvate orany other
nature should call upon DR.. j. &. Young, and
they would then avoid imposition and assist the
Doctor in his herculean labor of suppresslng
ouackery and empyricism. DR.. Young charges
are moderate and within the reach Of the most
humble.
DEWARE OF IMPOSITION.--1n consequence
ID of the wide spread celebrity of DR.. 0ung,
numerous imposters have sprung INTO existence,
pretending to be perfect masters OF the heallnS
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
charatans, for they are as unscrupulous in sucn
statements as in their practice of medicine, ana
are very unsafe to trust They will first deceive
Won bv false certificates procured from drunken
loafers," who perjure themselves to get money to
satisfy the cravings ola 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 ininred 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. c. Young the Pioneer Advertising Ply
scian 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 the only regularly educated
Ply ysician 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 ouacks, who 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 quackery from our midst.
DR. YOUNG can be consulted from 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 $40 will
meet with prompt attention.

ENR. YOUNG will guarantee a perfect and per-

nothing for his services: Syphilis, Gonorrhna,
Structure Of the Urcthra, Affection Of the Rostrate
Gland. Weakness Of the Ceaital Organs Impoten-

Inciricnt 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
we'll. 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 we'll, for it is scientific fact that
the mercury will mngle with the venerea and
form disease great deal worse than the origi-
nal All those who have reason to think, by
bad feelings that they have been trerted thus
should consult DR.. Young, ana he will examine
their cases and tell them at once how they stand

mended to his care, afflicted with different diseases,
some of them bad cases, Of very bad and DANCE
rous nature.
Given this my voluntary testimony in favor Of

debility. both general ana sexual is not surpassed
by any physician, and always results in a 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 10y them, as perfectly
successful, and has been adopted by them in their
practice. In the treatment Of incipient 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.
DIR. j. c. YOUNG Sir: Your mode of treat
ing affections of the Liver. and diseases of the
Blood, has proved, by repeated trials. to be the
best yet afforded to the faculty, and has been
adopted by the board. Continue to study the
