asgs- 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
lv 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 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 vegc
table System. and will always warrant perfect
cure. His Office is at 2o 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 Il physician. because they have
been deceived, or their friends have been, by
some of the charlatans who iniest The communi-
ty, and who publish themselves us good physicians,
professors etc. To all such we unhesitatngly
recommend Dr.. j. c. Young. asa physician in
whom all can place confidence. lie is a man OF
eminent and profound study, a good surgeon. an
honorable man, and one who can sympatbise with
persons in affection. His standing as physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed he 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-
ciple-nO cure mopdy.
