Thirteen years residence and uninterrupted
practice in my profession in California, has ena-
bled me to thoroughly perfect myself in the
proper treatment and cure of diseases in this
climates the concurrence of all reliable testimo-
ny going to show that practice on the Pacific
requires very material notifications of the old
tstereotyped formulas hitherto pursued in the
Eastern States
/. Like all other sciences the practice of the
Medical profession is progressive in its character
and deem it the proper time that some of the
profession should manifest courage enough to
break through and assault the old barriers and
prejudices of the prescribed laws and rules that
have hitherto fettered the advancement of medi-
cal science, hanging, incubus-like, over its de-
vclopments, and give our patients the unrestrict-
ed benefit of all that is good and useful in all
the PATHYS under the names of HYDRO
PATHY, ALLOPATHY, HOMEOPATHY,
ELECTROPATHY, or any other name. have
given serious attention to all Of them, and find
much that is good in each. With little COM
mon sense combined, I have found most admi-
rable results emanating from my treatment of
disease peculiar in their developments on the
Pacific slope.
1t is not without mature deliberation that I
have taken this step of advertising my
Doctor of ssSpecialites." 1 know full well
that I shall meet with the '.cold shoulder"-per-
haps with the frowns and chagrin, of my old as
sociates in the profession. BE it SO, am salts
fed that am right and take an unprejudiced
and liberal view of the whole matter from this
stand point, and knowing that I am right, I shall
not be easily intimidated from my purpose.
One thing may be assured, I shall do nothing
that is ungentlemanly or unbecoming the pro-
fession. With this statement, l shall leave my
professions in the hands of a discriminating
public.
1t is the first time in my long practice that
have ever advertised my profession through the
medium off circular, and have only consented
to do so now after years of persuasion by nu-
merous friends, and the thorough conviction of
its propriety. Having weighed the subject pro
and con, there is nothing to be discovered but
fair and honorable justification in advertising my
name and business My aim is, and always has
been, to ''guarantee'' nothing but what l think
myself competent to perform and there is no
class of maladies under the head of CHRONIC
or SPECIFIC diseases, as it has presented itself
in california that I have not thoroughly and eff
fectually cured-eyen when there was scarcely
life enough left to build hope upon.
Fg DIR. DEMAREST, as is we'll known,
has always been a friend to suffering humanity
"a fact that hundreds can testify to, who have
known me through thirteen years practice here.
My charges are always exceedingly moderate,
and my treatment has uniformly given satisfac-
llOn. My Is 10 uGNOle Se1l ulo1e eS-
pecially to Office practice and consultations
This is quite enough for one man to do.
With an experience of twenty years practice,
endorsed by large number of patients, COM
nit myself to the public for their approval.
Seek advice in time, and place confidence in
no one unless you have previously made inqui-
ries in regard to his skill and standing in his
profession. All advertising physicians are not
to be trusted; and SO far as am concerned, 1

standing before engaging my services. 1 am
well known in this community, but strangers
throughout the country having been often de-
ceived, it will be difficult matter I know, to
convince them; therefore, I say, convince your
self before you call.
My office is easily yfound-Southeast corner Of
Washington and Sansome streets-nearly oppo-
site the Post Office, over Ullman's Book Store.
Below will be found few of the testimonials
received by DR.. Demarest previous to his leav
ing home for this country in 1849:
New York, Jan. IA, 1848.
This may certify that Dr.J. D. Demarest, by
the assiduitv and attention which he has given
to his studies, and his uniformly good conduct,
jjustifes me in believing that those among whom
he may be placed, can repose confidence in his
professional attainments.
