Ess- The question is often asked


rss- The question is often asked-"Why is it
that DR.. J. q. Young is so successful. while 9th
cr advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day." The answer must be or should be, plain
" apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession. and attends to it; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to bis unprecedented prac-
tice that he is perfect master of his profession.
and can insure all relief from their troubles; and
while Others are dali y sinking into the Oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered.
his course is onward and upward, placing him at
the head of his arduous profession. SO great

From the Times and Transcript.
There are thousands in this State suffering for

some of the charlatans who iniest The communi-

professors. etc TO all such unhestatingly
recommend DR.. j. G. Young. physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is man OF
eminent and profound study, good surgeon. an
honorable man, and one who can sympathisc with
persons in afction. His standingas physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed-the first. by
his medical works. which are an honor to their
author and the extensive and highly successful
course of practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circles of ac-
quaintances. We say to all afflicted. call on him,
as he will at once state the case to you, and you
may rely upon his judgment. We like his prin-
