TIE CRors IN NARA VALLEy.-The Napa
Reporter Of Saturday says:
"Ihe recent rains have, as we understand,
done considerable injury to the grain crops.
A great deal of wheat has been beaten
down, and much more placed in danger OF
rust from rapid growth, and wet weather fol
lowed by warm, sunny days. On high
ground the rain has been in some cases bene-
ficial.-We are tod that the hay crop will

From the s. T. Citizen.

eTs- The question is often asked-"Whv is it
that Or. j. G. Young is so successful, while 9th
er advertising Physicians are failing from day to
dav?" 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 are 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 ardu0us 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 2l0 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 a physician. because they have
been deceived or their friends have been, by
some of the charlatans who intest the communi-
ty and who publish themselves as good physicians,
professors etc. To all such unhesitatingly
recommend DR.. j. G. Young asa physician in
whom all can place confidence. He isa man OF
eminent and profound study, good surgeon. an
persons in aliicton His standing as IL physician
and gentleman 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-
quuintances 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-
ciple-n0 cure moray.

CAUTION.

1t has come to my knowledge that parties in
San Francisco have resorted to the base artilice
of attempting to forge my label. with some slight
alterations using the name of "Dclay's" instead
of "DALY'S Aromatic Valley Whis-
k5y.'' and also using the word CUMBERLAND"
instead of ''MOnoNgaheia.1
These Bogus Labels have been put on bottles
of entirely different shape from mine containing
the commonest trash. and packed in cases, inten-
ded to initiate and branded similar to the genuine,
using the name "DELAY's" instead of DaIy's.
Dealers in the interior as well rs consumers
are cautioned not to be imposed upon by this
Bogus article.
Particular attention is called to the shape of
my Bottle. which is unlike any other, and also
the name ''WiII:anh ii. Daily, New
York;, blown in the Bottle.
| have no fears of this or any other spurious
article interfering with the sale of my

tiscd upon honest Merchants and the unsuspect-
ing Consumer without noticing it.
