CERTIFICATE.

Voluntary Certificate from Don Pedro's Bar.
Being DESTROYS of beneGting my fellow man as
much as possible, induces me to come before the
public and certify to the following facts: In Ju-
ly last, called upon DR.. J. G. Young, for med-
cal advice. l was then laboring under dizziness
in my head, very tedious pain in my back and
hips, weakness in my legs and arms, loss of mem
ory, sore eyes, palptation of the heart, extreme
nervousness aad general debility; was SO bad
that was compelled to suspend business. After
a careful examination of my case, Dr. Young
pronounced the case durable, and commenced
taking the medicine he prescribed. and the result
is that am NOW perfectly we'll to all appearances.
although not so strong as could wish, vet am
constantly gaining, and do us good days work
as any of the men in my locality. The reason
for publishing the above is to counteract that
widespread rascally empiricism which is stalking

imported.
REMENBER-That DR.. J. c. Young gives every
attention to diseases peculiar to females.

YNHERE is no malady of deeper Importance,
IL either in a medical or moral point of view,
to which the human family is mora liable, than
that arising from impure connections
AS medical man, it is the duty of every ply
stefan to look at disease as it affects health and
life and his sole object should be to mitigate, as
far as in his power, their bodily suffering. HUI
man nature is at best but fral; all are liable to
misfortune.
Of all ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those of private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, frightful as
are its ravages upon his constitution, ending fire.
quently in destruction and loathsome grave it
becomes of still greater Importance when it is
transmitted to innocent offspring Such being
the case, how important it becomes that every
having the least reason to fear that they have
contracted the disease, should attend to it at
once by consulting some physician, whose respec-
liability and education enables him to warrant a
safe, speedy, and permanent cure. In accordance
with this necessity, DR.. Young feels called upon
to state that by long study and extensive practice,
he has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
branch than any other Physician in the United
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat
them.

Avoiding the Responsibility.

Brother Noel was sorely troubled at the
scandal Brother Crump brought upon him
self by drinking too much, and especially
regretted the injury it brought to society in
Sharon. So one morning he stepped over
to Brother Crump's and found the old man
in doze on the little porch.
"Wont you take dram9" asked Brother
Crump. as soon as he was made aware OF the
presence of his neighbor.
"Why, yes, I'm not agin dram when a
body wants it,"
Brother Crump got his bottle, and the
friends took dram a piece.

Crump, "that spirits is = BLESSING"

When six years old, the soil is cautiously re-
moved for about two feet around the trunk,
so as to examine the root; strong wash of

of the root at the trunk, and for eighteen
inches above it; prior to the application

Some statistics Published by New York
Life Insurance Company reveal the interest
ing fact that the mortality in California is not
more than quarter as great, in proportion
to the population, as i. was before 1853
This is undoubtedly owing to the advancing
