Cnntion to the Public.

Every intelligent and thinking person must Know
that remedies handed out for general use should
have their efficacy established 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
moor nostrums and cure.alls purporting to be the
hest 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 vet incontrovertible fact that many syphltic
natieuts are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by ma al-treatment from inexperienced physicians IN
general practice; for it is point generally CONCEDED
bv the best syphilographers that the study ana man
a0ement 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 to make himself sufficiently acquainted with
their pathology comOny pursues one system oi treat
ment in most cases making an indscriminate use OF
that antiouated and dangerous weapon, mercury.
More caution, however. should be used by the syph
little patient in consulting nominal physicians OF
the advertising class, ninetenhs OF them are I'M
posters, who assume German, French, or other
Names and are without any claims to medical knCwl-
edge These knavish rascals niest all large cities,
and by means of their lying advertisements and pos
ters they induce the unwary to enter their refer
Funk "insttutions. ." and numerically fleece them
and poison them with mercury. Persons living ut a
distance in the country more apt to be duped by
the living notices Of quacks than citizens.
In view Of the above facts Dr. }. c. YOUNG
would say that he is the only regularly educated
pbysician in California now advertising. who de-
votes his whole time to the treatment Of yenereal
diseases Office 75l Clay street opposite the Plaza

Persons afflicted with symptoms after being treat
ed should consult DR.. Young at once, as no disease
is cured unless the patient feels perfectly well II
there is 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 we'll for it is a
scientific fact thatt he mercury will mingle with the
venereal and form a disease great deal worse than
the original. All those who have reason tO think,
bv bad feelings, that they have been treated thus,
should consult Or. Young, and he will examine their
cases and tell them at once how they stand.

ABOUT PENS.

Pens of some sort have been in use from
very ancient times, adapted To the materlai
uoon which the written characters were 10
a,e impressed. Upon stone or metallic plates
.0rayers Of steel served for writing, ana
such are referred to by Job in speaking OF
can iron PEN" For the waxen TABLETS OF
the ancients a metallic stylus was employed
one end of which was sbarpened for marking
and the other was hattened for eraslng the
marks and smoothing the wax. 1t was also
4he nractice in the ancient times, as 1t IS
among the Chinese at the present day, TO
raint The letters with a fne hair pencil.
Pens of reed also we're made at very early
neriod for the use of fluid ink upon pa
nvrus. The reed selected for this purpose
is described as small and hard anu aUou'
the size of swans quill. IL was IOunG III
Egypt and Armenia, and CAIRO aho ale9.
andria were famous markets III Whlcn ~
sold. Along the shores of the Persian GuH
reeds are still collected for this purpose
and are distributed throughout various
parts of the Eastern countries, beng Oettef
adapted TO the ink and paper employed 10
those regions than any other kind OF pens'
The introduction of common writing paper
rendered necessary pens OF hnef chaiacter
and caused a demand for goose qulls'
A great trade grew up in these articles,
which even the more recent introduction
of steel and gold pens has not materially
diminished. Poland aud Russia are largely
engaged in it. In single year 81. Peters
burg has furnished England over ~ ,O9O,OOO
of Guills. Within the last fifty years steel
pens of various kinds have been manuiac-
tured in Great Britain, and the number
made annually n Birmingham has been es,
timated at one thousand millions. Several
attempts have been made to establish this
manufacture in the United States, but 1t has
been found almost hopeless to compete with
the manufacturers of Birmingham. The art
of making gold pens has, however. heen car
ried to the highest perfection in New York,
so that the only really excellent pen used
in Europe is obtained in this country. The
machinery used for this purpose was inven-
ted by Mr.. Reudell. and improved by Mr..
Fairchild, and lie curious aud elaborate
more than twenty stiuct operations being
required 10 the production of single pen.
There are seven or eight factories for this
manufacture 10 the city of New York; one
in Brooklyn, N. Y; two in Brooklyn, Ct.;
one In Hadensville, Mass, and two in Gin

The LYONS FAMrLY.-Some interesting

name. who are now in the army. There are
thirty persons bearing his name, Nnd relat-

cut, lawyer by profession, and L'euten-
ant in the Revolutionary war. These are
all in the Connecticut regiments, aud many
of them from the same county. A young
nephew of General Lyon, boy of fifteen
years old, named Arthnr, enlisted IN the
Ninth Connecticut regiment Immediately
after the Generals remains were taken
home and buried in his native town. Ar
thur was at school, which he left the next
day after the burial to join the regiment.
He had no idea of leaving his school to
