ELEcrRoPArHY.-The readers of this article 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.. ]. H. Josselyn, the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has game for this establishment a reputa-
tion that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment on this coast. In cases of female ir-
regularities especially, DR.. Josselyn has gained an
envabe 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 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
ficted, accompanied with the real fictitious ad-
dress, sends per Wells. Fargo & Co., medicines
that he warrants to cure the disease, without the
slightest injury to the system He uses no mercu-
ry or mineral poisons. The remedies used are
known ssElectric,' and most of them are of his
own discovery. Persons placing the mselves under
the treatment of DIR. J. H. Josselyn may rely upon
not only receiving correct and successful treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above sod adage' then it will
apply to the Electrnpathc Institute of San Francis
| CO. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since, under the management Of
DIR. H. Josselyn, who has during that time treat
ed upwards of twenty thousand cases of disease to
successful issue, with the exception of a very
small number, who were too far gone, having be en-
| overlooked with poisonous drugs by some of the nu-
merous quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DR..
H. Josselyn, has received and replied to not less
than SIX thousand five hundred letters, besides
giving his personal attention to all the patients
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 a man
to all api earences of very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attainme nts are such as 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 as will
produce speedy and permanent cure The mode
of treatment at this institute is peculiar poison
Gus drugs whatever given under any circum-
maDently cured without the use of one particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physic-
iau on whom they car rely, will do well to read tn
advertisement of the Eectropathic Institute, else
where in our columns.

CFrom the Contra Costa Gazette JAM Is, 1861
GRAND SUccEss.-During the past year, some
half dozen 'bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have s'handed in their checks" and closed
their doors: Without an exception, the establish
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little or nothing of the pructice of med-
cine and were established for the purpose of lch-
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
1861 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termlned to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordingy established the Electropathic Institute
Dr. J. H. Josselyn, gentleman in every way COM
pet' mt for the position, with instruction to warrant
a perfect cure in all cases undertaken by him, or
refund the money. They advertise largely, and the
respectability of the Institute SO 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 medical stbilking'
establishments have closed their DOORS and several
more will shortly follow. The business of the In
stitute has become extensive tLat the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi-
hce for their use during the coming summer.
From the Yreka Union, Feb. 10. 1866
The BEST Is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply as well to the practice of medicine to the
purchase of merchandise. Thousands 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 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
are sick for less sum than regular practitioner.
A man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, is worse than IDIOT frr in nine cas-
out of ten, the medicine given, instead of cur
ing the disease, makes the patient worse and does
permanent injury to the system. and oftentimes to
such extent to prevent the possibility of cur
ing the original disease The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of ply sician unless
he has strong pronfs that the doctor is a 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 diploma. DR.. ] II. JOS
selyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
sttote is one Of these and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
