HHGRoNETRIc THEORY OF CHoLERA.-A. de Ruo'z,
well known for his important discoveries in the art Of
electrodDg is the author of an interesting series OF
facts communicated to the Cerce de la Press Senti-
fque of Paris, regarding the proportion of moisture
contained in the atmosphere during the prevalence of
cholera By analyzDg the various statistical data col
leced during the French epdemics of 1892 1919, and
1854 NJ de Ruolz has deduced the following facts; In
1892 the epidemic in Paris reached its hight In April
when the hygrometer was lowest; 1t declined to the
utmost in September, when the hygrometer was high
est In ls4e, the bygometrical observations at the
Observatory Of Paris had been unaccountably ne
elected but in 1854 afforded results quite in accord
sasce with those of 1882. Hence NJ. de Ruolz nfers
that there undoubtedly exists pctitiye coincidence
between the intensity Of the epidemic and the hygro-
nerical state of the atmosphere; the former being in
the inverse ratio Of the humi ty Of the air Other car
eumsapees be considers point to the same eoneiu-
sion; thus Lyons city remarkable for its damp at
mospbtre, owing to the two rivers that embrace It, has
never been visited by cholera.

Academy of Sciences the nature of Group and the

the treatment of these affections requires neither gene

After enumerating the various therapeutcal means re-

ares that he much prefers 10 these uncertain alarm

which completely mpreguates the fungus ex"reises i's
action on the surface only and may be absorbed with
out danger. This medisine destroys the parasitic

lss- The question is often asked why is it
that DR.. j. g. Young is SO successful. while 9th
er advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day?' The answer must be or should be, plain
ly 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 his unprecedented prac
tice, that he is perfect master of his professiOn
and can insure all relief from their troubles; and
while others daily 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
has been his increase of business that he has
been obliged to associate with himself two other
physicians. both of extended knowledge and prac-
tice We would advise all afflicted to call upon
him in preference to any other Physician. We
are informed that he treats entirely on the vege
table System. and will always warrant perfect
cure. His Office is at 210 Clay street, opposite
the upper corner of the Plaza.
From the Times and Transcript.
There are thousands in this State suffering for
want of scientific medical treatment, and they
fear to apply to II physician. because they have
been deceived or their friends have been, by
some of the charlatans who inlest The communi
ty, and who publish themselves as good physicians
professors etc. To all such we unhestatingly
recommend Dr.. j. e. Young, asa physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is man OF
eminent and profound study, good surgeon. an
honorable man, and one who can sympathise with
persons in affection. His standing as II 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-
quantances. 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-
cple--nO cure nOpdy.
