DR YOUNG addresses those who have ipiured
~ themselves by improper indulgences in that

pain in the head. dimness Of sight, loss of muscu
lar power, palpitaiion of the heart, dyspepsia
nervousness, irritability, arrangement of the d.
gestive functions. general debility, symptoms Of
consumption DC.
MENTALLY.-The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory con-
fusion Of ideas, depression of spirits. evil fore.
boding. aversion of society sci-distiust. love of
solitude, etc. are most OF the evils produced
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on DR..

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS


The following are selected from q volumnious
accumulation Of testimonials of the press of the
United States, and from eminent Professors of
our institutions where the practice Of medicine
is taught.
From the S. +. Citizen
&s-The question is often asked-"Why is it
that DR.. J. G. Young is so successful while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day?' The answer must be or should be- plainly
apparent to all; it is, that he understand his
profession. and attends to il; and us 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 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
iged to associate himself with two other physi.
Clans both of extended knowledge and practice
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference to any other Physician. We nre in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system. and will always warrant perfect cure,
His Office is 75 Clay street, opposite the upper
corner of the Plaza.
From Pr0fess0r Hitchcock,
| have watched with more than ordinary zeal
the rapid progress of this young man in the in
tricate paths OF our profession. Few, with the
accumulation of years upon their heads have APP
proximated to everything like the stand he has
fairly earned. Were | the father of much
more numerous family than now boast of. |

vice OF q physician be required. to call on DR.. J.

commend my friends to do the same

Although we are opposed to the system of ad-
vertising for good and sufficient reasons. still we
deem it but justice to say that DR.. Young is one
Of the most industrious and ndefatgable votar-
les to the medical science in the United States.
