VHNHE ERE is no malady of deeper Importance
l. eitherin q 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
sician 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 aturc IS at best but frai all are liable to
misfortune.
OF all ills that affect man, none are more ter
riblc than those of private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, frightful
are its ravages upon his constitution, ending fire.
quenty 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 to fear that they have
contracted the disease, should attend to it ut
once by consulting some physician, whose respec-
liability and education enables him to warrant a
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 the United
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat
them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Ulcers Swell
ling Of the Groins. Ulcers in the Throat, Secon-
Diary Syphilis, Cufaneous Eruptions, Ulcerations,
Tertiary Syphilis, Syphilis in Children, Mercural
Syphilitie Affections, GonorrhGa. elect, Stric-
lures, False Passages. Inflammation of the Blad-
der and PROSTATE Glands. Excavations. Tumors,
Pustules, etc, are as familiar to him as the most
common things or daily observations.
The doctor effects a cure in recent cases in o
few days and finds no diffculty in curing those
of long duration, without submitting the patient
to such treatment as will neglect his busine ess,
whether in doors or without. The diet need not
be chang ged except in cases of severe nfamma-
ton. There are in California patients (amount-
ing to over two thousand the past year, y that
could furnish proof Of this; but these are matters
which require the incest secrecy, which he always
preserves.

The Curse of Rome.

We publish in another place the curse PRO
nounced upon Victor Emanuel, King of Sar-
dina, by Pope Plus Ninth, for his adhesion
to the policy Of Louis Nopoleon, concerning
the temporalities Of the Holy See. He curses
him in soul and body-curses him from head
to foot-curses his eyes and his ears, his
mouth and his nose, his tongue and his throat,
his heart and his bowels, his hands and his
arms, his legs and his ankles, his stomach
and his brain, and every part and parcel Of
his corporeal frame-curses him when he
eats and when he drinks, when he lies down
and when he rises up when he walks and
when he sits-eurses him in every conceiva-
ble thing that he can do or think or say
hedges him around with curses, so that he
can neither turn o the right nor the left, nor
move forward or backward, advance or re-
treat, without meeting the anathemas of AL
mighty Rome, and feeling the breath of her
burning curse upon his brow.
To those who are brought up in the Cath
Ollie faith this Bull of Excommunication is a
fearful thing. and the language that is used
in the curse alluded to, would be well calcu-
| lated to affect the Imagination Believing
in the power of the Church, if you moved
your tongue to speak you would feel that it
was about to be palsed. If you sat, the
thought would be present that you were
doomed If you rose, it would be with the
same feeling. If you lay down for repose,
the thought that you were aceursed would
murder sleep or grmly haunt your uneasy
slumbers If you walked forth into the sun
shine, to shake the gloom from around you,
the demon thought" would be with you
still, and the sweets of sound and sight pail
upon your senses. You could not move your
You could not raise your hand, without the
fancy that an invisible blight was upon it,
wasting it to bone. You could not think of
a solitary portion of your mortal frame, with
out the inseparable thought that maedc-
ton was upon it. If you appealed to your
loftier part-the regal, self-poising mind
to disenthrall you, 10 You would remember
that the seat and throne of your reason itself
was accursed, and that the swift and subtle
brain refused to do its office, at the bidding
of your will.
Great God to the believer in the power
of the Church of Rome to make good her an
athemas, it seems to us that no conceivable
horror could be greater than curse like
this. Victor Emanuel, however says that he
can stand it.

Honoring our Great Men.

The Inauguration Of the statue of Clay at
Richmond, Virginia, a short time ago, Is de-
seyibed as having been q grand occasion.
Twenty or thirty thousand people were as
sembled, and the display was magnificent
Upon the unyeillns Of the statue, when the
sublime features Of the great orator looked
familarly down upon the assembled multi
tude hundreds, who had known and loved
the mighty statesman and patriot, burst into
tears They remembered how, in the days
Of his glory, he stood with no silent lips be-
fore them and his mute imsge yeas only too
eloquent reminder that the "heaven touched
tongue" was stilled forever.
Preceding this Inauguration was that of the
statue Of the god-ke Webster at Boston, and
preceding that, the Inauguration of the
statues of Warren, of Jackson and Of Wash
ington.
The people have been somewhat late and
tardy in erecting these memorials and per-
petuating in marble and in bronze the fea-
lures aud forms of the demi-gods of their
country But, better late than never, and it
is gratifying to see the awakening spirit of
American pride and patriotism in this re-
spect. Let these memorials and these "coun-
terfeit presentments" accumulate, till the
ewes of our childrens children shall rest upon
some monument of their country's greatness
in whatever quarter of the land they may
chance to look. History will appeal to the
few, but the marble memorials to the many.
Patriotism will be stimulated at the sight.
To know who these honored ones were in
their day and generation, and why the pre-
servation of their form and feature, for future
generations, will be the first inquiry of child
hood and youth, and old age will answer
that they did well for their country and tell
the story Of their deeds and achievements.
Who, in after years, when the present
generation shall have passed away, could
stand beneath the stll but eloquent statue of
Cav and not ask of his deeds in the elder
days Of the Republic, and who could hear of
his sublime achievements for his country,
without a blessing upon his memory? a
land which could produce such men, might
well be considered worth preserving-lnisht
well be defended with blood-might well be
sustained with every sacrifice that it is pos
sible for man or woman to make
