IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TR AVELERS.

IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TR AVELERS.
TENIlERE is no malady of deeper importance,
IL either in Il 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 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 fraif; all are liable to
misfortune
OF all ills that affect man, none are more ter
rble than those of q private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, frighttul as
are its ravages upon his constitution, ending fire.
auently 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.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Ulcers, Swell
ling of the Grons. Ulcers in the Throat, Secon-
uary SypHtlis. CutaueouS EIuptlohs, OlCeTNtlonS,
Tertiary Syphilis, Syphilis in Children, Mercurial
Syphilitic Affections, GonorrhGa. elect, STRIFE
lures, False Passages Inflammation of the Blad-
der and Pro trate Glands, Excorations. Tuners,
Pustules, ETC., as familiar to him as the most
common things or daily observations.
The doctor effects q cure in recent eases in
few days. and finds no difficulty in curing those
of long duration, without submitting the patient
to such treatment as will neglect his business,
whether in doors or without. The diet need not
be changed, except in cases of severe inf1amma-
ton. There aie in California patients (amount-
ing to over two thousand the past year) that
could furnish proof of this; but these are matters

PRIVATE ME CAL OFFICE.

HUNDREDS of those who have contracted
a Il disease are disappointed of a cure by not
calling on DR.. Young at First. He will forfeit
any sum if lie fails to cure any case that may
come under his care, no matter how long stand
ing or affecting. such as ulcers. tumors nodes,
punches. pimples on the face and body, pains in
the bones and loins, wakefulness, trembling, cop
pcr-colored sores, wasting of the bones, emacia
ton, loss of appetite strength and flesh, sores in
the nose and ears, loss of hair. weak eyes, itching
humors, &c Many persons after being relieved
of ali external appearances of private disease,
suppose themselves cured, but after a few months
find they are troubled with various symptoms
which they never had before, and which ely find
it impossible to relieve. To all who are afflicted
in this way. Dr. Young would particularly rec
ommend trial of his skill. The symptoms with
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 a 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,
without change of diet OF hndrance from busn-
ess or no fee. DIR. J. G. YOUNG.

TO CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS OF

| sumers in Caliternia. to the Label or Brand
upon my hams, which in all cases bears fac
smile of mn signature. and is. in every respect,
the same label | 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 ceN hnoicn and genu-
inc Horace Billings Hams, and my present OBJ
ject is to ask con sumers 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, DC. DC. 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 prepara-
ticn they undergo in curing, by which delicacy
of flavor. preservation of the juices of the meat
and freedom from undue satness are secured.
confidently assure purchasers of my hams, in
California that the cure of 1869, 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,

I'm sitting On the style, Mary,
Sitting on the stilc,
But the bull dog in the front yard
Keeps barking all the while:
Why don't you tell your pa, Mary,
Or, John, if he about,
To ask old Sammy Slocum in,
And make the dog get eout!
~Now I'm sitting on TIE fence, Mary,
Before the kitchen door,
But :hc pesky ugly bull dog
Darks louder than before;
And thought saw shadow, Mary,
A shadow slim and tall,
All arms and legs, like Reuben Brown,
Against the whilewashed wall.
If that is Reuben's shadow. Mary,
If that was Reuben's shade,
Twill bring the 'spepsy back to me,
I'm very much afraid.
Oh, why this cruel treatment.
Why keep me in suspense.
Why don't you make that dog get cout,
And let me off the fence9
I've got a kcow and calf, Mary,
The calf is three weeks old:
a score of pretty sheep. too,
AS ever fed in fold;
And daddy told me yesterday,
When Dapple had colt
He'd let me have it sure
Amt that Reub. Brown dolt?
And mammy's knitting stockings now
To buy a cotton web
One-half the sheets are to be mine,
One-half for sister Deb;
And nanny says whichever one
First brings partner hum,
Shall have the punkin blossom quilt
Say, Mary, won't you come?
Gcowhilikens! you'd ought to ste
The rooster and the hen
That uncle Peleg Shackeliord
Sent me by cousin Ben;
guess he wakes the folks around
When he gins out to crow
If he was here to blow his horn
He'd bring you out, know.
Dut, Mary, if you won't have me,
And will have Mr.. Brown,
guess as how there's other gals.
That's wide awake in town.
But one thing you had ought 10 know
Before turn my back,
That is that Prudence Pattingale
Gin your Reub. Brown The sack!

DEBILITY AND SEMI
NAL WEAKNESS.
DR. YOUNG addresses those who have injured
IL themselves by improper indulgences in that
secret and 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 limIs,
pain in the head, dimness of sight, loss of muscu-
lar power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia,
nervousness, irritability, deMngement 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 IRE 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.
