DR.. ToZer's reputation as Physician stands I'M
equaed. His exclusive attention to diseases of the
genito-urnary organs for SO many years, renders
him perfect master of syphiltic 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

READ AND REFLECT,

nR. CHARLES II. TOZER'S CARD to the
~ afflicted of California. In approaching any
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-Iealth and Disease.
If we can form and fix in our minds a 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 investi igation of the human body, we
have another and still nobler end. 1t is to lay
before you in such plain terms that you cannot

relief

speak OF the signs of particular diseases, it
Will be proper to take a 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, palpitation 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 well 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 Attachments in his pro-
fession, and whose age and experience entitle
him to your confidence. Considering these things,
DR.. Charles II. Tozer has concluded to inform
you that are afflicted, advertising his place of
business stating that he has been 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. c. II. T. would invite all that are afliic-
ted to call on him, and if he does not administer
for them, there will be no charge made. Let
no false delicacy prevent you, but apply imme-
diately, and save yourself from the dreadful con-
sequence which must follow those who neglect to
receive attendance.

A SLY DIG.-Judge Turner, a Vermont
lawyer, who deceased few years ago at an
advanced age, was as famous for his wit and
readiness at repartee, as he was for penman
ship considerably less legible than that of a
distinguished Boston barrster. 1t thappened
at term of the Franklin County Court, that
Turner, then practicing attorney, had case
on the docket of some legal abstrsueness,
but of no great pecuniary Importance
"Why," said the presiding Judge, who wish
ell to get rid of the case, ''why don't you re-
fer his matter TO arbitrators! Why not
leave it out to couple of honest neighbours"
"Because, your honor" returned Turner, we
don't wish to trouble honest men with it,"
