7 ELECTHOFATHf.-1ne feaders OF tins articIe are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
| of the 'Electropathic Institute 645 Washington
street, San Francisco, to be found in another col
| umn of this paper. The remarkable cures that
have been effected by Dr. J. H. Josselyn, the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has gained for this establishment a reputa-
tion that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment on this coast. In of female r-
reguarities especially, DR. Josselyn has gained an
envlabe reputation, and the spacious parlors of the
institute are continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.
| DR.. Josselyn pays particular attention to the
treatment of cases in the interior of the State and
upon receipt of full description of the disease Of
which the applicant is SO unfortunate as to be af-
icted, accompanied with the real or fictitious ad-
| dress, sends per Wells, Fargo 4 Co., medicines
| that he warrants to cure the disease without the
~ or mineral poisons. The remedies used are
known as "Electrc,' % and most of them are of his
own discovery. Persons placing themselves under
tee treatment OF DIR. J. H. Josselyn may rely upon
not only receiving correct and successful treatment
| but upon his discretion and secrecy.

| SUCCESS THK TRUE STANDARD OF MRRIr.-If there
is any truth in the above tsod adage' then it will
apply to the Electropathic Institute of San Francis
| CO. This establishment was opened to the public
| about SIX years since, under the management of
DR.. J. II. Josseyn, who has during that time treat
ed upwards of twenty thousand cases Of disease to
| 4 successful issue, with the exception of a very
small number, who were too far gone having been
merous quacks with which this State abounds Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DIR.
H. Josselyn, has received and replied to not less
| than six thousand five hundred letters, besides
giving his personal attention to all the patients un-
| der treatment at the Institute An amount of
work that it would be hard to find another man on
this coast with physical power sufficient for the
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
to all appearances of very delicate constitution
but his scientific attainme nts such to enable
| him to determine the nature of the disease with
| which the applicant may be afflicted, almost in
| stantly, and to prescribe such treatment will
| produce speedy and permanent cure The mode
of treatment at this institute is peculiar poison
| GUS drugs whatever are given under any circum-
Stances and in numerous instances the sick per
maEently cured without the of particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physic-
iau on whom they rey will do well to read tn e
advertisement Of the Electropathic Institute, else
where in our columns.

Josselyn the resident Physician, has occupied that
position for six years. and taking into consideration
the fact that all the Directors of the Institute

may be considered proof of DR.. Josselyn's ability

sldered by competent judges to be the most scien-
thc and successful electrician in the United States

er but gives medicine in all where it is Deem

GRAND SUCCRss.-During the past year, some
half dozen "bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have 'shanded in their checks" and closed
their doors. Without exception, the establish
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little nothing of the pructice of medi
cine, and established for the purpose of flch
| ing money from the sick and unfortunate, For a
number Of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ing their victims without let hindrance, but in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termined to put stop to the imposition. They
cordingy established the "Electropathlc Institute
at 6i5 Washington street. and placed it in charge of
| DR.. J. II. Josseyn, gentleman in every way
petent for the posiion with instruction to warrant
perfect cure in I'll cases undertaken by him, or
refund the money. They advertise largely, and the
| respectability of the Institute was SO well known
that the sick hocked to the office for advice and
treatment in swarms. The effect has begun to be
| made manifest. Some six of the medical "bilking"
establishments have closed their doors, and several
more will shortly follow. The business of the In
stitute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi
fee for their use during the coming summer.

THE BEST Is THB CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply we'll to the practice of medicine the
purchase of merchandise. Thousands on this coast
during the past fifteen years, have had their
stitutons rnined by refusing treatment at the
hands of irst-class physicians, simply because a
gang Of humbugs styling themselves doctors. and
who are almost destitute of common sense, much
moIe of medical knowledge, offer to treat those who
sick for less sum than regular practitioner.
man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, is than idiot, for in nine
out of ten, the medicine given, instead of
ing the disease, makes the patient worse and does
permanent injury to the system, and oftentimes to
such an extent to prevent the possibility of
ing the original disease The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of physician unless
h he has strong pronfs that the doctor is regular
graduate from some well reputed Medical College.
The number of medical humbugs in San Francisco is
perfectly enormous not more than two of the ad-
vertised physicians have a diploma. DR.. H. JOS
selyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute is of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
