MEDICAL ADV'S.

The great popularity which MoFFAr's LIFE
Pills and PHOENIX BlrTERs have attained in
consequence of the extraordinary cures effec-
ted by their use. renders it unnecessary for the
proprietor to enter into particular analysis of
their medicinal virtues or properties Having
been more than twenty years before the public,
and having the united testimony of more than
Three Millions of persons who have been restor-
ed to the enjoyment of perfect health by them,
it is believed that their reputation as the best
vegetable medicine now before the public, adj
mits of no dispute. In almost every city and
village in the United States, there are many
who are ready to testify to their efficacy in re-
moving disease, and giving to the whole system
renewed vigor and health.
In cases of Scrofula, Ulcers, Scuryy or Erup-
tions of the skin, the operation of the Life Med
icines is truly astonishing, often removing in a
few days, every vestige of these loathsome dis
eases, by their purifying effects on the blood
Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia. Dropsy. Piles, and
in short most all diseases, soon yield to their
curative properties. No family should be
without them. as by their timely use much suf-
fering and expense may be saved.

A REMARKABLE PROPHECY fol-
lowing remarkable prediction was made
by Friar Bacon, who was born in the year
1914, some $40 years ago. "Here, says
certain writer, "is poetry and philoso-
ply together, forming wondrous chain
of prophecy"
Bridges, unsupported by arches, will
be made tospan the toaming current. Man
shall descend to the bottom of the ocean,
safely breathing, and treading with firm
step on the golden sands never frightened
by the light of day. Call but the secret
powers of Sol and Luna into action, and
behold single steersman sitting at the
helm guiding the vessel, which divides
the waves with greater ease than if she
had been filled with crew of mariners
toiling at the oars; and the loaded chariot,
no longer encountered by the painting
steeds, shall dart on its course with resist
less force and rapidity. Let the simple
elements do the labor; bind the eternal
elements, and yoke them to the same
plough"

SLANDER.-Yes, you pass it along
whether you believe it or not. You DOM
believe the one-sided whisper against the
character of another, but will use your in-
1uence to bear up the false report, and
pass 1t on the current. Strange creatures
are mankind. How many benevolent
deeds have been chilled by the shrug of a
shoulder! How many individuals have
been Stunned by gentle, mysterious
hint! How many chaste bosoms have
been wrung with grief at single nod
How many graves have been dug by false
report! Yet you will keep it above the
water by wag of your tongue, when you
might sink it forever. Destroy the pas
sion for tale-telling, we pray Lisp not a
word that may injure the character of an
other. Be determined to listen to no story
that is repeated to the great injury of an
other, and, as far as we are concerned, the
slander will die. But tell it once, and it
may 60 as the wing of the wind, increas-
ing with each breath, till it has circulated

Another Awful Calamity Mariposa Dc.
Stroyed by Fire.

From the San Joaquin Republican of
Sunday morning last, we learn the follow
ing particulars of another destructive fire
1t is with the deepest feelings of regret
that we are called upon to lay before our
readers the melancholy intelligence that
a large portion of the city of Mariposa
has been laid in ashes, and through the
lnstrumentality of one dirty little Chinese
house of i'll fame. 1t is, we believe, at
present religious season with these half
human and half beastly people, and they
use fire freely and ceaselessly in celebra-
ting it. As the stage from Mariposa
started but short time before the fire
commenced, we cannot present the full
particulars of the catastrophe. The fire
broke out about l P. NJ. on Friday, June
4th, and the stage, which had reached the
summit of the hill on the road to this
city, returned to town and staid until the
work of destruction was completed, but
started Immediately ly afterwards. Owing
to this circumstance, there has not been
sufficient time to procure full particulars
OF this dreadful disaster A letter from
o friend in Hornitos, informs us that the
fire commenced in Chinese house of i'll
fame, on Main street, opposite Fishers
stable, and the fire made clean sweep
from thence to the Post-ofice, on both
sides OF the street. The fire was checked
at this point (the Pine Tree House,, and
on the opposite side by an adobe building.
The stores which escaped destruction in
this range, are those of Sullivan & Cash
man, Cohen & Co., and Van Beever.-
The fire commenced next to Blumenthal
q Newcomb's store. The stage harness
OF Screider were destroyed. The Mari
posa Star Office was destroyed, but that of
the Mariposa Gazette, being upon the
bill, was saved. 1t is probable that two
thirds of the business part of the town has
been destroyed. Mariposa has previous
y been very fortunate in its escape from
visitations of this kind. There is no fire
engine in the place, though we believe
there is an efficient Hook and Ladder
Company.

EDRIVATE Medical and Surgical Institute
Il DR.. L. j. Czapkay returns his sincere
thanks to his numerous patients for their pat
ronage, and would take this opportunity to re-
mind them that he continues to consult at his
Institute for the cure of all forms of Private
Diseases, such as Syphilis, Gonorrhea,
Nocturnal Emissions, and all the conse-
quences of self-abuse. In the first stages
OF Syphilitic or Gonorrheal diseases, he guar
antees a cure in a few days, without in
convenience to the patient or hindrance to
his business. When a patient, by neglect
or improper treatment, has developed the Sec
ondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as buboes
or painful Swellings on the groins, or ulcers
in the throat and nose, which, if not checked,
destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to
mortify, separate and come away, leaving the
sufferer an object hideous to behold; or when
he has painful swellings upon the bones, or
when his constitution is injured so as to pre-
dispose to consumption, or other constitu-
tional disease, the Doctor guarantees cure or
asks no compensation.
In RHEUMATISM, chronic or acute; in
DYSENTERY or DIARRHGA, he has safe
and effectual remedies. For the treatment of
the consequences of self-abuse, such as noc-
turnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, head
ache, pains in the back and limbs, with gen.
eral weakness, loss of appetite, loss of memo
ry, injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion
of ideas, dislike for society, and feeling of
WEAKNESS of life; with the nervous system so
excitable that slight noises shock or startle
the patient, making his existence miserable.
For the above maladies the Doctor will guar
antee cure or ask no compensation He can
be consulted free of charge, and invites all to
call, as it will cost them nothing and may be
much to their advantage. His Offices are at
the Medical Institute, Sacramento street, be-
low Montgomery, opposite the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's office, Sam FRANCISCO,

ThankfnlneSS is the Incentive to Gratitude
c + r T IF C A T E

The undersigned, desrous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief IF
their sutferings may be obtained, feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to DR.. L. j. Czapkay for the perma-
nent recovery of his health Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the Wis
cious practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most tri1ng duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life, sought the
advice OF many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease as of trifing Importance
but, alas after a few weeks, and in several
instances months, of their treatment, | found
to my unutterable horror, that instead of re-
lief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture; and, being told by one, that my
disease, being principally confined to the brain
medicines would be of little consequence,
despalred of ever reganing my health, strength
and energy; and, as last resort, and with
but faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay,
who, after examining my case, prescribed some
medicine which almost instantly relieved me
of the dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by this result, | resolved to place
myself Immediately under his care, and by
strict obedience to all his directions and ad-
vice, my head became clear, my ideas collected,
the constant pain in my back and groins, the
weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of
my whole body on the slightest alarm or ex-
element; the misanthropy and evil forebo-
dings the self-distrust and want of confidence
in others; the incapability to study, and want
of resolution; the frightful exciting, and at all
times pleasurable dreams at night, followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disap-
peared; and, in fact, in two months after hav-
ing consulted the Doctor, felt as if inspired
by new life-that life which, but short
time ago, contemplated TO end by my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from
falling into the snares of incompetent quacks,
deem it my duty to offer this testimony to
the merit and skill of DR.. Czapkay, and rec
ommend him to all who may stand in need of
medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
perience, that once under his care a radical
and permanent cure will be effected
