There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections
AS a. medical man. it is the duty of eyery
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf
fering. Human nature at best is but frail: all
are liable to misfortune.
vi all the ills that affect man, none are moro
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
full as it is in the person who contracts it
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and n
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
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 a safe specdv and ner
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. 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 venereal,
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous Eruptions, Ulccra-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis, Syphilis in Children,
Mercurial Syphlitic Affections, Gonorrhea
Gleet, Structures, False Passages, Inflammation
OF the Bladder and Prostrate Glands, Excoria-
tions, Tumors, Pustules, ETC., are as familiar to
him as the most common things of daily obser-
vaton
The Doctor effects cure in recent cases in n
few days, and finds no difficulty in curing those
OF long duration, without submitting the pa
tlent to such treatment as will draw upon him
the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to neglect
his business, whether 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;

secrecy, which he always preserves.

Dir. C. Manchester of Philadelphia has discovered
the cause of our present financial distress IN the
conduct of the Banks of New-Yorkl They ex-
banded, it would seem, when they could and con-
tracted when they must, and thereby plunged US
all into embarrassment and bankruptcy Far be it
from us to Justify the course of the Banks Of New
York in the expansion Of last Spring and early
Summer. We demonstrated against it at the time,
and condemn it now. But il Mr. Manchester Will
fairly inquire he will doubtless discover that the
Banks of New York acted in this expansion in uni.
son with the Banks of every other section, Phlla-
delphia included. 1t is the more immediate
business Of Banks to make money for
their stockholders and in pursuing that OBJ
jeet, they expand whenever they believe
they may do Sc with safety, and contract whenever
they are compelled to do so BY fear of insolvency.
There has been great deal of nonsense swallowed
by men who should know better about the United
Stated Bank expanding and contracting for politi-
cal purposes, and it may be possible to force an
other such dose down the public, or at least the
party, gullet; but it is simply preposterous. No
Bark ever contracts its loans from any other con-
sderation than that of necessity or safety simply
because to do so is to curtail its income and its
stockholders dividends. There would never be q
"panic" or "pressure" if the Banks could
have their wish-in saying which we do not
mean to affirm that they always do all
they should to avert such calamity. Banks are
but associations of individuals, evincing in their
management the average wisdom or folly, foresight
or .hortsightedness, Of individuals. All that can
lie fairly asked Of them by the public is to pay their
notes in specie on demand, and comply with the
laws of the country. This the Banks of New York
are yet doing, while the Banks Of Phladelphia-
but 10 matter. If the former expended unjustif-
ably while the latter did not bow come the former
to be now paying specie and the latter in state Of
suspended animation 7 Howl

more and more evident that upon New York is to
