CERTIFICATE.

Voluntary Certificate from Don Pedro's Bar.
Being DESTROYS of benefiting 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 / 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
DRY, sore eyes, palpitaton of the heart extreme
nervousness aad general debility; l 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 amInow perfectly we'll to all appearances
although not so strong as l 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 empiricism which is stalking
with such destruction throughout this otherwise
blessed country.

OYsrERs--Regarding oysters. these de-
lightful bivalves enter SO largely into the
comforts and happiness Of life, that word
in their praise may not be amiss, No enter
tainment is complete without oysters. Men
bet oysters; women dote upon oysters; child
rem cry for oysters. Before the softening
influence of oysters, human austerity bends,
and kindness irradiates features before dark
with clouds. Their odor is as grateful to
the nostris as the odor of virtue is to the
inward sense; we inhale the steamy and
savory effluence from the kitchen as har-
binger of pleasant tastes fancy burns in
anticipation Of fancy roasts, or INDUCES in
stupendous imaginings Of stews, and poesy
winds its thell-an oyster shell-iu sounding

He is one of the old style of patriots-a
modern Cincnnatus. He, whose right arm
has lost its strength in her service, deserves

the war with Mexico received two ball
wounds in that service: the muscles of his
once powerful right arm were cut away to
the bone, half way from the elbow to the
shoulder, by an ounce ball, at the battle of
Buena Vista. From the effects of this, his
arm has never recovered. The ball entered

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY AND SEMI
NAL WEAKNESS.
DR. YOUNG addresses those who have injured
~ 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 limbs
pain in the head, dmness of sight, loss of muscu-
lar power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia
nervousness, irritabilty, arrangement of the di.
gestive functions, general debility, symptoms OF
consumption, &c.
MENTALLY-Th 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.

CURE FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.-Some few
years ago, Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky,
published letter stating that rum taken in
sufficient quantities to produce stupor, was a
sure preventative of that most horrible dis
ease, hydrophobia. He had tried it and
seen it tried, and knew it would cure it.
And again, he published in the New York
papers another letter reiterating in
emphatic terms the former statement adding
that no less than fourteen cases had come
under his personal observation, every one Of
which had been cured by the use Of rum, as
above state |, on each recurrence Of the ter
yible symptoms. One of these fourteen was
his own boy. Eastern paper.

WOLFE'S
SCHEIDAM AROMATIC SCH,

II BEG TO CALL THE ATTENTION OF THE
Il merchants of California and Oregon to a
superior article of HOLLAND GIN, manufactur-
ed by myself exclusively, at Scheidam, Holland,
and to distinguish it from every other alcoholic
stimulant in the world, I gave it the name Of
SCHEIDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS. 1t is the
pure tincture of the juniper, distilled from the
best barley that can be selected at any cost 1t
is favored and medicated, 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 rectiiied with
its spurious solvent, and thus it becomes con
centrated tincture Of exquisite flavor and aroma,
altogether transcendant in its cordial and med-
cinal properties to any Holland Gin in the world.
Since the introduction of the celebrated Scheid-
am Aromatic Schnapps, the proprietor has SUB ~,
mitted it to the whole Medical Faculty OF the
United States. Over three thou and endorse 1t,
over their own signatures, to be the purest nlco-
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 Urniary
Organs Persons travelling in the Southern and
Western States should always have q 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-
| fidcnce in case of Cholera. on account OF the
purity of the article. UDOLPHo WOLfE'
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
| Since the introduction of my Scheidam Aroma
| tic Schnapps into the United States, 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 pamed off upon the unwary for my genuine
Schnspps At first, they boldly counterfeited my
name, but | soon stopped them by causing several
of them to be arrested They now confine them
selves to closely initiating the appearance and
shape of my bottles, and the peculiar wrapper
which I 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 counterfeiting the
peculiar style and appearance of the genuine
Wolfe's Schuapps. Adoid these mixed and doc
tored up limitations, rs you would avoid shattered
nerves. ruined stomach, and deirium tremens.-
The pure aud genuine Schnapps have my name
on the bottle, cork, and a facsimile OF sigma
ture on the label For sale by all the Wholesale
Druggists and respectable Liquor Dealers in the
United States. UDOLPHO MoLfE' ~

The word Scheidam Schnapps belongs exclu-
sively to my article-all Others are counterfeit,
