DR. CHARLES H. TOZER'S CARD TO THE
AFFLICTED.
Quick cures and l0,o prices at the old established
Office, 9Th ST.. bet,c, en- J & K.
nR. TOZER returns his thanks to his numerous
IL patients for their patronage, and would en-
brace this opportunity to remind them that he
continues to consult on those difficult case of We
NEREAL which have bafled the skill of some of the
most celebrated physicians of the age, and upon
which he has neuer failed to perform a radical
cure.
DR.. Tozer's reputation as Physician stands un-
equaed. His exclusive attention to diseases OF the
genito-urinary organs, for so many years, renders
him perfect master of syphlitic 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 and 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 well known, taken pa
tients from the very verge of the grave, and
restored them to perfect health. He would fur
ther state, that he deems it sufficient to attract
the attention of those who might need the SER
vices of physician in all cases, but particular
ly those enumerated in this advertisement, ex-
cepting they would test my merits as a prac-
titioner. 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 tulsOme empirc and bonn
bastic advertisements. protesting my ability to
heal all diseases flesh is heir to, for to do that
must be something more than man. but to give
those that nre afflicted with Veneral, Chronic.
and other diseases to understand from long eX-
periencc, am fully competent to treat them
successfully.
My regard for the dignity of the medical pro-
fession to which | have the honor to belong,
deters me from committing any act savoring of
rank quackery, and regard for my own dignity
would prevent my placing myself on a par with
quacks and nostrnm venders of the present age.
| offer no fraudulent or genuine certificates or
rufls of my superior qualifications prac-
titioncr; 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
to rely for relief. (My rooms are so arranged
that | can be consulted in private at all hours
of the day from o'clock in the morning until
8 in the evening)

San Francisco Described.

A correspondent Of the San Andrcas Inde-
pendent gives the following description of
San Francisco:
1--WE went up on the hill and took look
at the whole thing; oh, Je-ru lem, what
a city! The houses were lying around loose
in every direction-here big one, six stories
high, in the midst of half dozen halfstory
shantes; there, seven or eight were piled,
one on the top of another, all leaning against
the sand hills like drunken man to lamp
post. There were long flights of stairs to
some of them, and when we went up we were
in the basement. Some were warped and
cracked; some were tottering over, and had
props under them, and it all looked as if
there had been big food in the mines, and
tloated of a lot Of little mining towns
houses, streets and al-and brought them
here, where they had got all jumbled togeth-
er into dead eddy; and when the water fell,
they were left sprawling about in the sand
hills and tules, like cakes of ice on a mea-
dow at the breaking up of hard winter in
sugar-making time"

ed of that peculiar irritating and burning taste,
and becomes a neutral spirit; the second property
consists in an oily mucilanimous taste impaired
to the liquor, which renders it mellow. and impatrs
an appearance of great age; the third property is
exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is i'm
parted to the liquor which renders distinction
from the genuine brands impossible

DR. CHARLES II. TOZER'S CARD to the
H. afflicted of California In approaching any
new course of systematic inquiry, there are
certain points concerning which the inquirer
should always be careful to satisfy himself.
He should comprehend distinctly what the sub
ject of inquiry is-Health and Disease.
If we form and fix in our minds clear
conception of the state of Health, we shall have
no difficulty in understanding what is meant
by disease But beyond, though not above, these
objects of investigation of the human body, we
have another and still nobler end. 1t is to lay
before you in such plain terms that you cannot
me mistaken and will know where to apply for
relief.
use the word DISEASE generally, and before
speak of the signs of particular diseases, it
will be proper to take general view of symp
toms. When a person is troubled or afflicted
with disease, which causes weakness of the
back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness of
sight, loss of muscular power, palpitaton of
the heart, irritability. nervousness, dyspepsia
arrangement of the digestive functions. gener-
al debility, symptoms of consumption. and many
others which are better explained than put on
paper and require Medical or Surgical attendance
it would be we'll for them to inquire if there is
a physician who is competent to attend them,
and who understands the application of medi-
cine and whose Scientific Attanments in his pro-
fession, and whose age and experience entitle
him to your confidence. Considering these things,
Ut. CnarleS IL. L OZer mas concluded TO INFORM
you that are afflicted, advertising his place Of
business stating that he has been a successful prac
titioner for over twenty-five years, and has
ATTENDED AND CURED HUNDREDS,
when they have been considered by other physi-
clans and have been pronounced by them past
recovery. Therefore, You may rely upon him
as one in whom secresy and the utmost conf
dence can be placed.
DR.. G. H. T. would invite all that are afflic-
ted to call on him. and if he does not administer
for them, there will be no charge made. Let
no false decacy prevent you, but apply imme-
dately. and save yourself from the dreadful con-
sequence which must follow those who neglect to
receive attendance.

The Area of Utah.

1t may be matter of interest to many OF
our readers to know something of the com
parative extent Of that Territory of the Unit
ed States whose chief officer is bidding def
ance to our Government. According to
Cotton, the area of Utah is o60l70 square
miles. To engineers and Others, this will
give ust idea of its vast extent but the
majority of people will form better esi-
mate by being told that it is as large as the
whole of the New England States, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania Delaware,
Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee. Or to
compare it with European countries, it is
equal in extent to Great Britain and Ireland,
