The hospitable mansion of Mrs. K, in the

cautious in believing that they well, for it is a

Caution TO the Public.

Everv intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should
ha ve their efficacy established by well tested expe
rience in the hands Of regularly educated physi-
clan whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill vet the country is flooded with
moor uostrums and cure.alls purporting to be the
best in the world which are not only useless, but
always injurious. The unfortunate should be PAR
TcrIAR In selecting his physician as II Is lament
able vet incontrOveTtihle fact that many sypmhuc
natients are made miserable with ruined constitutions
bv NAL treatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice; for it is point generally conceded
by the best syphiogaphers that the study and man
aaement ofthese complaints should engross the whole
time Of those who would be competent and successful
in their treatment and cure The inexperienced gen
eral practitioner, having neither opportunity nor
time 10 make himself sufficiently acquainted with
their pathology comOny pursues system of treat
ment in most cases making an indiscriminate use OF
that antiquated and dangerous weapon, mercury.
Mo-e caution however. should be used by hesyph-
little patient in consulting nominal physicians OF
the advertising class, nine.tenths OF them are i'm
posters. who assume German, French, or other
Names and without any claims to medical knCwl-

and by means of their lying advertisements and pos

and poison them with mercury. Persons living at a
distance in the country apt to be duped by
the lying notices of quacks than citizens.
In view Of the above facts, DR.. J. q YOUNG
