Caution to the Public.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should
have their efficacy estab lished by well tested expe-
rience in the hands of regularly educated physi-
cian whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill yet the country is flooded with
poor nostrums and cure-alls, purpOrting TO be the
best in the world which not only useless, but
always injurious. The unfortunate should be PAR
TIcULAR in selecting his physician, as 1t is lament
able yet ncontrovertible fact that many syphiitic
patients made miserable with ruined constitutions
by NAL treatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice for il is point generally conceded
by the best syphiographers that the study and man
agement ofthese complaints should engross the whole
time Of those who would be competent and successful
in their treatment and The inexperienced gen
eral practitioner, having neither opportunity nor
time 10 make himself sufficiently acquainted with
their pathology eomony pursues one system OF treat
ment in most cases making an indiscrimnate use of
that antauated and dangerous weapon mercury.
More caution however should be used by the syph-
iitic patient in consulting nominal physicians OF
the advertising class ninetenths OF them are i'm
posters, who assume German, French, or other
Names and are without any claims to medical knOwl-
edge These knavsh rascals infest all large cities,
and by means Of their lying advertisements and pos
ters they induce the unwary to enter their Peter
Funk constitutions" and numerically fleece them
and poison them with mercury. Persons living at
distance in the country more apt to be duped by
the lying notices of quacks than citizens.
In view of the above facts, DR.. J. C. YOUNG
would say that he is the only regularly educated
physician in California now advertising, who de-
votes his whole time to the treatment Of venereal
diseases Office, 75l Clay street opposite the Plaza.
Hours from A. NJ, to 3 p. NJ.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-04-03
HAVE CONFIDENCE.

DR.. YOUNG will guarantee n perfect and perna-
nent cure in the following cases he charges moth
ing for his services; Syphilis GonOerrhGa, Structure
of the Urethra, Affection of the PROSTATE Gland,
Weakness Of the Genital Organs, lmpOtency Sterili-
ty, both in the male and female, SPermatOria, or
Seminal Weakness, Noctura Emissions, Rheuma-
tism Dyspepsia, indigestion, Fever and Ague, lncip-
lent Consumption and all Irregularities in Females,
together with all diseases of Women and Children;
also, Nervousness, Palptation of the Heart, etc.
Persons afflicted with symptoms after being treat
ed should consult DR.. Young at once, no disease
is cured unless the patient feels perfectly well. II
there particle of disease left in the system it will
break out some future time when least expected, or
be handed down to an innocent offspring. Persons
who have been treated with mercury should be very
cautious in believing that they are well for II is
scientific fact that he mercury win mingle with the
venerea and form disease a great deal worse than
the original. All those who have reason to think,
by bad feelings, that they have been treated thus
should consult Dr. Young, and he viii examine their
cases and tell them at once how they stand.

I.ord r,vons on the southern states.

Lord Lyons On the Southern States
Lord Lyons, the British Minister at
Washington, 10 a letter Of December Ie'n'
thus expresses bis opinion Of the sontnern
Confederacy
This overweening notion Of their own
Importance may lead TO very serious lncon-
venience. If they should succeed 10 estab.
fishing their independence. Our need OF
heir cotton is quite great enough to render
4 extremely desirable that we should be GU
yood terms with them, aud encourage any
iisnosition which they may show to place
heir commercial relations with US on mu-
iually advantageous footing. We might be
willing to consider that quarrel with them
vould give us no means of ameliorating the
condition of their slaves, while 1t would
ring a great deal of hardship and suffering
mon vast numbers of our own working
,eople. But still it must ever be repugnant
0 our feelings 10 be in intimate relations
nth a confederation formed on the avowed
winciple of perpetuating if not Of extend
ng slavery. :,
Unless The seeding States can be induced
o act with moderation upon the question OF
,lavery they may rouse a feeling Of indig-
nation and horror in Great Britain which
will overpower all consideration Of material
interest. OF this many of their leading
men 10 the present movement do not seem
10 be aware. Some of them even talk
openly of reviving the African slave trade.
An attempt actually to do this would, 1t
may be supposed be at once put down by
the united force OF the Northern States, Of
Great Britain and of civilized Europe. But,
on the other hand, it might be extremely
difficult to bring any of the slavebolding
States to renounce, 10 principle, the right
Of trading in negroes, or induce them TO
enter into any treaty engagement on The
subject. Any such engagement would be
regarded by them as an admission that they
were in The wrong on the question on
which their contest with the North has SO
Inflamed their passions that they have lost
sight of all reason. How could they bind
themselves not to extend to larger numbers
of Africans the blessings Of the institution
of American slavery, which they hold to be
ordained of God for the happiness and inn
provement of the negro race? 1t is to be
lpprehended that we shall have very con-
lderabIe difficulty in placing our relations,
commercial or political, on satisfactory
footing with a people imbued with such
sentiments, immense as is the Importance
TO us of procuring cheap and abundant
supply of their staple commodity.

one of the year, at the age of sixty.seven.
After forty-four years of confinement as a

A coroner's inquest developed the fact,
which most men had probably forgotten,
that in the year 1918 he had attempted to
take the life Of Lord Palmerston, the then
Secretary of War, by firing pistol at him
in the street. He was arrested, and tried
at the Old Bailey on The lst Of May, 1878

insanity, and by the order of the Home
Secretary he was removed to Bethlehem
Hospital. The warder went as usual in the

SAVAGE ExPEDIENT TO OBTAIN WATER
Livingstone, the African traveller describes
10 ingenious method by which the Africans
obtain water in the desert: The women tie
! bunch Of grass to one end Of a reed about
wo feet long. and inset it in hole dug as
5eep as the arm can reach, then ram down
The wet sand firmly around 1t, Applying
the mouth to the free end of the reed, they
form vacuum in tue grass beneath, in which
the water collects, and in short time rises
20 the mouth. II will be seen that this sim.
,le and truly philosophical and efectual
uethod might have been applied in many
ases in different countries where water was
much needed, to the salvation Of life. 1t
Gems wonderful that 1t should have been
low first known in The world, and that it
,hould have been habitually practiced in
Africa. probably for centuries. 1t seems
worthy of being particularly noticed, that
it may no longer be neglected from igno-
rance. 1t may be highly important TO trav-
elers In our deserts and prairies, 10 some
parts of which water is know to exist be-
heath the surface.

This terrible disease is alarmingly on the increase
in this country and should be attended to IN season
for there is no complaint more dangerous and at
tended with more suffering than this fatal disease.
ANY person who has been troubled with venereal
seminal weakness, or any other private disease
should watch very closely for this trouble It's first
symptoms Is generally unpleasant sensation in
the parts. sometimes Of tickling nature, an uneas-
mess Of the mind, an underlined dread Of something

becomes affected, and then follow all those dreadful
symptoms which so often result in miserable and
disgusting death. But the suffering, before death
comes to reheve the patient, is DREADFUL sometimes
plunging the sufferer into that living death-Insan-
ity
Dr. J. c. Young's mode of treatment is a new dis
covery, made within few years by NJ. Ricord Of the
French Venereal Hospital and is sure safe and
speedy.
they will be sure Of permanent cure without an
operation.
p. S.-Dr J. C. Young's Medical Works give
more detailed account of the above awful disease,
DR.. J. c. Youngs Office is at No T51 Clay street,
opposite the the Portsmouth House, San francisco,
California.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
In consequence of the wide spread celebrity of Dr.
j. &. Young, certain pretenders have palmed them
selves upon the unsuspecting as being the vertabe
Dr. Young. Persons wishing to avail themselves of
ID. Is skill should be very careful and call at his of
fee, send some known friend that will not deceive
them, as the landlords Of some disreputabe hotels
have been in the habit of keeping loungers on at
their places, and when requested to call Dr. Y. have
palmed such persons upon the invalid as being Dr.
Young. The Doctor win always be ready to attend
on cases where the patient is not able to call HIS
medicines Dannot he obtained at any other place in
the country, as he has no agents. Therefore be
careful and not be deceived by any OF the quacks
and impOsters of the State.
