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 suffering than this fatal disease.
Any person who has been troubled with venereal
seminal weakness, any other private disease
should watch very closely for this trouble. Its first
symptoms is generally an unpleasant sensation in
the parts. sometimes of tickling nature an uneas-
mess Of the mind, an underlined dread Of something
you know not what and If not attended to the urine
becomes affected and then follow all those dreadful
symptoms which so often result in a miserable and
disgusting death But the suffering, before death
comes to relieve the patient is dreadful; sometimes
punging the sufferer into that living death-lnsan-
ity.
DR.. j. C.. YOung's mode of treatment Is a new dis
covery, made within few years by NJ. Rcord of the
French Venereal Hospital; and is sure. safe and
speedy.
All afflicted should call on Dr. Young at once, and
they will be sure of a permanent cure without an
operation.
P. .S,-Dr. J. C. YouDg's Medical Works give a
more detailed account OF the above awful disease,
DR.. j. G. YOung's Office is at No. 75l Clay street,
opposite the the Portsmouth House, San Francisco,
California.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
In consequence of the wide spread celebrity of Dr.
J. c. Young, certain pretenders have palmed them
selves upon the unsuspecting, being the veritable
Dr.. Young. Persons wishing to avail themselves Of
D. Ys skill should be very careful and call at his Of
hce or send some known friend that will not deceive
them, as tho landlords of some disreputable hotels
have been In the habit of keeping loungers on at
their places, and when requested to call DR.. " 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 be obtained at any other place in
| the country, as he has no agents. Therefore, be
careful and not be deceived by any Of the quAeks
and imposters Of the State.
