Hs~Thc question is often askcd-..Why is it
that DR.. J. G. Young is so successful. while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
da Y The answer must he or should be, plainly
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 unprec prac-
ticc that he is perfect master Of his profession
and can insure all relief from their trouble: 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 physi-
clans. both of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference 20 any other Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system, and will always warrant Il perfect cure

From the Times and Transcript.
There are thousands in this State suffering for
want of scientific medical Treatment. and they
fear to apply to physician because they have
been deceived, or their friends have been, by
some Of the charlatans who inlest the community
and who publish themselves as good physicians

recommend Dr.. J. G. Young as a physician in
whom al can place confidence He is man of
iI /
honorable man, and one who can sympathse with
persons in aflcton. His standing as physi Ian
and gentleman are both guaranteed the first by
his medical works, which are an honor to their
anhor. and the extensive and hghly uccessful
course OF practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circle of ac-
quantances. We say to all afflicted, call on him.

From the BcstJn Medical Journal
Although we are opposed to the system of adj

DR.. Franklin recommends a young man
in the choice of wife, to select her from a
bunch, giving as reason, that when there
are many daughters they improve each OH
er, and from emulation acquire more accom-
plishments, and know more and do more
than single child spoiled by maternal fond
ness. This is a comfort to people blessed
with large families.
