A GRAND SCCCESs.-During the past year, some
half duzen ''bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have "handed in their checks,'' and closed
their doors. Without except n, the establish
ment> alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little nothing of the pructice of medi
cine, and were established for the purpose of ch-
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For
number of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let hindrance, but in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termlned to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordingly established the ElectrOpathlc Institute
at 6I Washington street, and placed it in charge of
Dr. }. IL. Josselyn, gentleman in every way COM
pet mt for the position, with instruction to warrant
perfect cure in all cases undertaken by him, or
re- iund the money. They advertise largely and the
respectability of the Institute was well known
that the sick focked to the office for advice and
treatment in swarms. The effect has begun to be
made manifest Some six of the medic ssbilking''
establishments have closed their doors, and several
more will shortly follow The business of the In
stitute has become extensive tLat the Directors
fee for their use during tie coming summer.

The BEST is THE CHEAPEsT This adage will ap-
ply as well to the practice of medicine the
purchase ofmerchandise. Tho, sands on this coast
during the past fifteen years. have had their con-
stitutions rnined by refusing treatment at the
hands of frst-class physicians, simply because
gang cf humbugs styling thems' Ives doctors. and
wio are almost destitute of common sense, mu h
moIe of medical knowledge offer to treat those who
are sick for less sum than a regular practitioner.
A man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, is worse than idiot +, i'll nine
out of ten, the medicine given instead of
ing the disease, makes tie patient worse and does
permanent injury to the system and oftentimes to
such extent as to prevent the possibility of cur
ing the original disease The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of phy sican unless
b has strong pronfs that the doctor is res ular
graduate from some well reputed Medical College,
The number of medical humbugs in San Francisco is
perfectly enormous ; more than two of the ad-
vertised physicians have diploma. DR.. J II. JOS
