CERTIFICATE.

Voluntary Certificate from Don Pedro's Bar
Being DESTROYS of benelting my fellow man as
much possible, induces me to come before the
public and certify 10 the following facts: In Ju
ly last called upon DR.. j. G. Young, for med
cal advice. was then laboring under dizziness
in my head, a 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
careful examination of my case, Dr. Young
pronounced the case durable, and commenced
taking the medicine he prescribed. and the result
is that lnow perfectly well to all appearances,
although not so strong as | could WISH yet am
constantly gaining. and do as good days work
as any of the men in my locality. The reason
for publishing the above is to counterfeit that
widespread rascally empricism which is stalking
with such destruction throughout this otherwise
blessed country.
B. 7. MANNING, Residence Don Pedro's Bar.
REMEMBER-That Dr. j. Young's Office, for
the treatment of Private diseases, is at the cor
ner of Montgomery and California streets.
REMEMBER-That Dr. Young wants no patient
but those fully capable of approaching and dis
tnguishing the services of a regular, thorough

trifling quack.

larbred physician advertising to cure diseases of
imprudence.
REMEMBER-Dr. Young's remedies and treat
ment are entirely unknown to all others, pre-
pared from life spent in the hospitals of Europe.
and the first in this country from pure chemicals
imported.
REMEMBER-That DR.. J. c. Young gives every
attention to diseases peculiar to females.

WOLFE'S
SCIIEIDAM
AROMATIC SCHNAPP'

II BEG TO CALL THE ATTENTION OF THE
n merchants of California and Oregon to
superior article of HOLLAND GIN. manufactur-
ed by myself exclusively, at Schedam, Holland,
and to distinguish it from every other alcoholic
stimulant in the worl u. | gave it the name OF
SCHEIDAM AROMATIC SClINAPPS. 1t is the
pure tincture of the juniper, distilled from the
best barley that can be selected at any cost. IL
is favored and medcated. not by the common
harsh berry, but by the choice botanical variety
Of the Aromatic Italian Juniper Berry, whose
more vinous extract is distilled and rectihed with
its spurious solvent and thus it becomes n con
centrated tincture of exquisite flavor ana aroma,
altogether transcendant in its cordial ana meui-
cinal properties to any Holland Gin in the world.
Since the introduction Of the celebrated Scheld-
am Aromatic Schnapps, the proprietor has sub
mtted it to the whole Medical Faculty OF the
United States. Over three thou and endorse 1t,
over their signatures. to he the purcst alec.
holic stimulant now in use. They also speak OF
the great success they have met with in their
practice in Gravel, Gout, Chronic Rheumatism,
distinctions Of the Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary
Organs. Persons travelling in the Southern and
Western States should always have supply on
hand as preventative against Ague and Fever
and change of water. The physicians in New
Orleans and ST. Louis prescribe it with great con-
iidence in case of Cholera, on account OF the
purity of the article UDOLPHO WOLFE.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
Since the introduction of my Schedam Aroma
tic Schnapps into the United States, a number of
Liquor Mixers in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
| and San Francisco, have been engaged in putting
up mixed and poisonous Gin in cases and jugs. to
be palmed off upon the unwary for my genuine
Schnapps. At first, they boldly connterfeited my
name, but soon stopped them by causing several
of them to be arrested They now conine them
selves to closely initiating the appearance and
shape of my bottles, and the peculiar wrapper
which l have always used viz yellow paper,
printed with red and blue ink and pasteboard
printed caps.
BEWARE OF THESE IMITATION
BOGUS SCHNAPPS.
| IF the Liquor were fit to drink there would be
no need to palm them off by counterfeitng the
peculiar style and appearance of the genuine
Wolfe's Schpapps. Adoid these mixed and doc
tored up limitations, as you would avoid shattered
nerves. ruined stomach, and delrium tremens.-
The pure and genuine Schnapps have my name

A Sudden Sensation.

A Philadelphia paper tells the following
story:
While the fire was burning at Ninth and
Market streets gentleman was passing that
vicinity. He was man of large stature,
great dignity of appearance, and walked with
the air of one who was above all anxietes as
TO the things of this world, being evidently
the possessor of ample wealth. AS he pass
ed up Ninth street, on the other side OF the
way from the fire, he was saluted by two
spendidly attired ladies. Greatly to their
surprise, at the very instant, instead Of a
bland reception Of courtesy, the gentleman
sprang into the air and gave utterance
to yell that would have done no discredit
to most ambitious supe m the tragedy of
"Metamora." AS he alighted on his feet he
struck off his hat and began to tear his hair
in such manner that the la lies shrieked
with mortal fear, evidently experimenting
that their friend had gone insane. A police
man picked up the gentlemans hat, an in
spection of which satisfactorily elucidated
the cause of so violent demonstration. A
led hot cnder, as large as a pigeons egg
thrown from the funnel of one of the steam
engines, had fallen upon the top of his hat,
burned hole through it, fallen in upon the
gentleman's head, and burned its way down
upon the scalp.

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY AND SEMI

DR. YOUNG addresses those who have injured
y 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 linus,
pain in the head, dmness Of sight, loss OF muscu-
lar power, palpitation of the heart dyspepsia
nervousness, irritability, arrangement OF the al,
gestive functions. general debility, symptoms OF
consumption &c
MENTALLY The fearful effects upon the mind
nre more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con-
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits evil fore
bodngs, aversion of society, seli-dstrust love
of solitude. ETC., are most of tle evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted th any OF the
above symptoms should not fail to call on Dr.
Young and be at once restored to perfect health
