DEWARE OF IMPOSITJON.-In consequence
ID of the wide spread celebrity OF DR.. oung,
numerous imposters have sprung into existence,
pretending to be perfect masters OF the healing
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
charIa tans for they are as unscrupulous in such
statements as in their practice of medicine, and
are very unsafe to trust. They will first deceive
you by false certificates procured from drunken
loafers." who perjure themselves to get money to
satisfy the cravings ofa 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 injured 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. G. Young, the Pioneer Advertising Ply
sician OF California. At a meeting Of the Mcdi-
cal Faculty in this State. called to investg gate 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 was the only regularly educated
PLY scian 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 ut 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 a number of cases from the
foreign quacks, who so yauntingly 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, anG it will not be long before they will
have to fly the country to avoid the just indigna-
ton of an outraged public Then will all good

HMPORTANT-DR j. c. YOUNG wishes to call
Il the attention of invalids to his course of prac
tice. The DR.. has long since abandoned the mcr
curial treatment. and has strictly followed the
Vegetable Practice. Patients under treatment
with him are not confined to the house, nor taken
from their business, but can go about and eat as
asuaI. The Dr.s mode Of treatment in sases Of
debility, both general and sexual, is not surpassed
by any physician, and always results in a perfect
a now mode of treating affections Of the Liver
which after a fair trial has been submitted to the
Professors OF several Of the medical institutes Of
the States, and pronounced by them, as perfectly
successful, and has been adopted by them in their
practice. In the treatment Of ncpent 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 spealies
for itself.
