nS- The question is often asked-"Why is it
that Dr. j. c. 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; il is. that be understands his
profession. and attends TO 1T and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends. So close has
been bis application to his unprecedented prac-
tice, that be is perfect master Of bis profession,
and can insure all relief from their trouble; and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they never fitted to be delivered.
his course is onward and upward. placing him ut
the head OF his arduous profession. SO great has
been his increase OF business that he has been
obliged to associate himself with two other phys-
clans both of extended knowledge and practice.
We W ould advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference TO any other Physician. We are i'll
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system. and will always warrant perfect cure.
His office is ISL Clay street. opposite the upper

CERTIFICATE.

Volumtory Certificate from Don Pedro's Bar
Being desirous of beneGting my fellow man as
much as possible, induces me to come before the
public and certify to the following facts: InJul y
last. | called upon DR.. j. c. Young, for medical
advice. was then laborng under dizziness in
my head. a very tedious pain in my back and
hips, weakness in my legs and arms loss of mem
ory, sore eyes, palpitatiOn of the heart, extreme
nervousness and general debility; was so bad
that l was compelled to suspend businesses After
q careful examination of my case, Dr. YOnng pro-
nounced the case durable, and commcnc TAX
ing the medicine he prescribed, and the result is
that am now perfectly we'll to all appearances,
although not so strong us could wish. yet am
constantly gaining, and can do as gool day 9
work as any of the men in my locality. The
reason for publishing the above is to counteract
that widespread rascally impression which is
stalking with such destruction throughout this
otherwise blessed country. b. T. MANNING,
Residence Don Pedro's Bar.

IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TRAVELLERS.


THERE is no malady of deeper Importance,
| either in medical moral point of view,
to which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
As a medical man it is the duty Of every Ply
scian 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 nature is at best but frail but all are liable
to misfortune.
or all ills that affect man, none are more terri
BILE than those of private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, frightful as
are its ravages upon his constitution, ending fire.
quently in destruction and loathsome grave. it
becomes of still greater Importance when it is
transmitted to an innocent offspring Such being
the case, how important it becomes that every one
having the least reason to fear that they have
contracted the disease should attend to it at once
by consulting some physician, whose respectable
ity and education enables him to warrant safe,
speedy. and permanent curei In accordance with
ibis necessity Dr. Young feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive practice,
he has become perfect master Of all those diseases

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst oul
III disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from Its attacks. nor Is there one which it max
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filtl
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above ALL by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
,tituton, descending /" from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation /" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod of Him who says, "
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children.
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies OF life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous i'll their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
climates the human family has its origin directly
III this scrotulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from OF
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofilous:
heir persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.

The most efectual remedy which the medical

bined from the most active remGdals that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
