READ AND REFLECT.

nR. CHARLES II. TOZER'S CARD to the
NJ afflicted of California In approaching any
new course of systematic inqur., 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 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 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 a general view of symp-
toms. When 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 palptation 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
1t would be well for them to inquire if there is
physician who is competent to attend them,
and who understands the application of med-
cine and whose Scientific Attachments in his pro-
tession, and whose age and experience cnttlc
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 phys-
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. III. T. would invite all that are aillic-
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-
diatcly, and save yourself from the dreadful con
sequence which must follow those who neglect to
receive attendance.

Scene in a Kentucky Court.

In the good old times in Kentucky, when
'substantial justice" was administered in Il
log cabin, after very free and easy manner,
a suit was brought to recover certain moneys
of which it was alleged plaintiff had been
defrauded by the ingenious operation known
as 'lhimble rigging" In the course OF the
trial plaintiffs counsel, who happened to be
an "expert," undertook TO enlghten the
court as to the a1odas operdndi of the per
formances. Putting himself into position,
he produced the three caps and the ''Iittle
Joker" and proceeded, suiting the action to
the word:
Then, may it please the Court, the de-
fendant placing the cups on his knees thus,
