the bones and loins, wakefulness, trembling, cop
per-colored sores, wasting of the bones, emaca-
ton, loss of appetite. strength and flesh, sores in
the nose and ears, loss of hair. weak eyes, itching

of all external appearances OF private disease,
suppose themselves cured, but after few months

which they never had before and which ey find
it impossible to relieve. To all who are afflicted
in this way, DR.. Young would particularly rec

which you are troubled are caused by tants in
the blood, which sooner or later will destroy
health and happiness. No person who has ever
had an attack of any private complaint, should
fail to consult DR.. Young, and take few bottles
of his invaluable purifying medicine. as they
can rest assured that their blood is in perfectly
pure and healthy condition, and that every trace
of disease is removed from the system.
Recent cases cured in from two to five days,

TO CALIFORNIA; CONSUMERS OF
BILLINGS HAMS.

T DESIRE to call particular attention of con-
i sumers in California. to the Label or Brand
upon my hams, which in all cases bears a fac
smile of my signature. and is, in every respect.
the same label l have used for many years past.
The unrivalle reputation which my hams have
in the California market renders me exceedingly
anxious that no hams packed by other persons
should be mistaken TOR the UeNhno,cm and genu
inc Horace Billings Hams, and my present OBJ
ject is to ask consumers especially to distinguish
my Hams from other hams which learn have
this season been sent to California, upon which
the name of Billings have been placed, with
label resembling mine in style, type, &c. &c. My
Hams are cured under my own personal super
vision, and their admitted excellence is owing to
the great care used and to the peculiar prepare
ton they undergo in curing, by which delicacy
of flavor, preservation of the juices of the meat
and freedom from undue sadness are secured.
confidently assure purchasers of my hams. in
California, that the cure Of 1859, will be
found of the choicest quality and flavor, and fully
equal in all respects to any heretofore packed
by me for that market. HORACE BILLINGS

YNHERE is no malady of deeper Importance,

to which the human family is more liable, than

AS u medical man. it is the duty of every ply
sican 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 8 at best but frail all are liable to
misfortune.
OF all ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those of a 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
one 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
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.
and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other Physician in tie Unit d
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat
them.

careful examination of my case, DR.. Young
pronounced the case durable, and commenced

is that amlnOw perfectly we'll to all appearances,
although not strong as I could wish, yet am

WHAT THEY SAY OF IT-The Carson Val
ley Enterprise thus remarks upon its miner
al lands.
From the Oregon line TO the Color do
river, there ia one vast and continued stretch
of mineral land. At the Black Rock Silver
Mining Company's mines, nearly two hun
bred miles north Of this point, they have
very lately discovered pure silver. In addi-
ton to this, in that section the entire coun-
try is strewn with quartz and copper ore.
From that point the indications of minerals
continue without interruption to Gold Hill
and Virginia City, at which place the first
discoveries were made. Hence the lead, if
we may so call it, continues to Walkers
river. South Of that gold is found, but not
SO profusely dispersed over the country, al
though at some places it is known that very
rich quartz exists; for instance, at the Salt
Springs, about four hundred miles south tf
Genoa, there is quartz vein Of almost fab
uous richness.

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY AND SEMI
NAL WEAKNESS.
DR. YOUNG addresses those who have injured
IL themselves by improper indulgences in that
secret ana solitary habit which ruins the body
and the 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: Weakness of the back and limits,
pain in the head dimness of sight, loss of muscu-
lar power, palpitaton of the heart, dyspepsia
nervousness, irritability, arrangement OF the di-
gestive functions. general debility, symptoms OF
consumption, &c.
MENTALLY The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con-
fusion of IDEAS depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion of society, self-distrust, love
of solitude, ETC.. are most of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on DR..
Young, and be at once restored to perfect health.
Let no false delicacy prevent YOU but apply i'm
mediately, and save yourself from the dreadful
and awful consequence of this terrible malady.
