BALL Room TALK.-A good story is
told of Bostonian's first appearance in po-
lite society in Arkansas. The company
were engaged in dancing, but the lovliest
female present occupied chair at the
window, withouta partner. Stepping up
to the lady, with palpitating heart, his
mind greatly excited for fear of refusal,
he exclaimed-sWill you do ME the honor
to grace me with your company for the

EERlVATE Medical and Surgical Institute
Il DR.. l.. j. Czapkay returns his sincere
thanks 10 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, GonorrhGa,
Nocturnal Emissions, and all the conse-
quences OF self-abuse. In the first stages
OF Syphilitic or Gonorrheal diseases, he guar
antees 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
mortity 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 etfectual remedies. For the treatment of
the consequences of self-abuse, such as noe
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 malades 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, San Francisco,
California.

ThankfulnGSS is the Incentive TO Gratitude.
c ER TILE ATE.


The undersigned, desirous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief of
their sufferings 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 vis-
cious practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifing duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life. sought the
advice OF many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease as of trifiing 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, |
deSpaired of ever regaining 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 Tain 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-
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-
citement; the misanthropy and evil forebo-
dingS the self-distrust and want of confidence
in others; the incapabiity to study, and want
of resolution; the frightful, exciting, and at all
times pleasurabe dreams at night, followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disap-
peared; and, in fact, in two months after hay
ing consulted the Doctor, felt as if inspired
by new life-that life which, but short
time ago, ] contemplated 10 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 I
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

Constitutional Debility or Senidl Heakness
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have in
jured themselves by private and improper in
dnlgences in that secret and solitary habit
which ruins the body and mind, uniting them
for either business or society. The following
are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by early habits of youth, viz weak
ness of the back and limbs, pain in the head,
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power, pal
pitation of the heart, dyspepsia nervousness,
irritabilty, arrangement of the digestive func
tions, general debility, symptoms of consump-
ton, &c.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the
mind are more to be dreaded Loss of MEM
ory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits.
evil forbodings, aversion to society, seif-dis
trust, love of solitude, timidity, &c, are most
of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to cali on DR..
Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false deicacy prevent YOU. but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terri
bic maldy.

into line, and Jackson and Gregg" against
"Shulze and Democracy floated over the ban-
ner OF the invincible hero. The letters which
General jackson wrote Tor Robert Goodoe
Harper wrote for him. recommending Colonel
"m- Drayton, distinguished Federalist of
South Carolina, for Secretary of War, were
published. In these letters, General Jackson
lnveigled strongly against party usage, de-
nounced nominations, said ''now is the time
to crush out the monster, party spirit" and
spoke Andrew jackson in the sincerity of his
heart. And, accordingly, it was clear that
numbers of leading Federalists-such men as
James Buchanan, Roger B. Taney, Garret D.
Wall, Joseph Hemphill Isaac Toucey, George
Winchester, Gen. John Clark, J. Macpherson
Berrien, Judge VIM. Schley, Francis S. Key,
and others, espoused his cause. The FEEDER
alsts largely contributed to swell the old heros
vote.
Mr. Clay's friends in Kentucky, Ohio, Mis-
souri, and the "Great West" rallied for the
Speaker of the House, while Mr.. Adams
friends In New England and elsewhere sus-
tanned Mr.. Monroe's Secretary of State for the
Presidency. The result of the contest showed
that General Jackson's popularity was in the
ascendant and that he had received a large
plurality of the popular as we'll as electoral
votes
Here, permit me to ask, if it was not high
treason for General Jackson, Clay, Adams and
Calhoun and their friends, to "bolt party nom
nations fairly made according to the usages
of the party, why, in the name of all that is
consistent, rational and fair, should men now
be denounced for manifcsting little of the
original Jacksonian spirit of independence
In 1928 there was no nominations made of
national character; but the opposition to the
Administration of Adams and Clay, including
the friends of Jackson, Crawford and Calhoun,
under the appellation of the q Combination"
when Mr. Van Buren announced in the Senate
of the United States, as the administrator de
bonis non of the Crawford party, that the '4Com-
bination was complete" rallied to the over
throw of the Adams dynasty The main charge
against the Administration of Adams and CLAW
was "bargain, intrigue and corruption :" and
upon that key rallied the opposition forces
General Jackson and John c. Calhoun were
taken up as by common consent, and the op-
position, or rather, the Combination" tri-
umphed. In the contest of 1928, from Maine
to Georgia, the whole battery was directed to
prove the charges of "bargain, intrigue and
corruption" General Jackson, in his celebra-
ted letter to Garter Beverly, himself repeated
the charge; the newspapers in his interest fol-
lowed suit, and harped upon no other string;
while Randolph, Judge Wayne, Thos F. Foster,
McDufie, Geo. Kremer, Thos. P. Moore, Chas
A. Wickliffe, Benton, and others, kept up the
party war cry. The result is we'll known to
the country. jackson and Calhoun were
elected President and Vice President, by
large majority. What have to say of party
usage and the machinery by which great men
were made, and others overthrown, from 1928
to the present time, l will reserve for another
number. "TRoUP AND THE TREATY"

There is no malady OF deeper Importance,
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate: as far lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt frail;
all are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
tul as 1t is In the person who contracts it,
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
it becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once, by consult
ing some physician, whose respectability and
education enables him to warrant safe, speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DR.. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination
of venereal, and having paid more attention to
that branch than any other physician in the
United States he feels himself better qualified
to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous, Eruptions, Ulcera-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis in Children, Mercural
Syphilitic Affections, Gonorrhea, Gleet, Strc-
lures, False Passages, Inflammation of the
Bladder and PROSTATE Glands Excorations
Tumors, Pustules, ETC., familiar to him
as the most common things of daily observa-
ton.
/ The Doctor effects n cure in receiving cases
in few days, and finds no difficulty in curing
those of long duration, without submitting the
patient to such treatment as will draw upon
him the slightest suspicion or oblige him to
neglect his business, whether within doors or
without The diet need not be changed, ex-
cept in cases of severe inflammation. There

ARTESIAN WELL AT STOCKTON.-The
California Society of Natural History, at
Stockton, held an interesting meeting, on
the evening of the 4th of March-Dr
R. X. Reid in the chair Many contri-
buttons from different parts of the State,
were received, acknowledged and placed
among the collection. The following in
teresting paper in reference to the arte-
sian well, was received and ordered printed:
From C. D. Gibbes-A description of the
different strata through which the artesian
well at Stockton is sunk to the depth of ,oO2
feet, showing the thickness of each-there be-
ing ninety-si ranging from l to AZ feet
paper was read by G. d. Gibbes, who, in
connection with DR.. Trask, of San Francisco,
had been investigating the properties, volume
and force of the artesian we'll.
The depth of the we'll is ,OO2 feet; the tenn
perature of the water, as it issues from the
surface, is ITO, the atmosphere being 600 Fab.
The water rose eleven feet above the surface
of the plain and nine feet above the established
grade of the city, and it is probable ifthe pipes
were properly connected and made perfectly
tight, that it would rise several feet higher.
On superficial examination, the water was
found to be charged with two gasses, supposed
to be carbonic oxide gas, and carbonic gus
1t will, however, require proper analysis, and
a more extended examination than few hours
to determine the property of the water and
gases.
With properly constructed vessel for Sc
curing the gas as it issues from the pipe and
obtaining pressure, the water may be forced
up high enough to be carried into the second
story of the court house. but it will have to be
determined by experiments. AS consequence
of the presence of carbonic acid gas, the water
must not be conveyed from the main conduit
in lead or copper pipes; if used for drinking or
culinary purposes, great danger would result
to the health and lives of the community
The use of iron, wood or tin pipes will remedy
and avert any danger from a combination of
the gas with these substances.
The quantity of water is about 500, 900 gall
Ions in twenty-four hours.
