the llmb of Il tree. where she remained
until found by her friends, late in the even.
mg When the family became sensible
ot the fact that they were poisoned, they
sent Tor physician who administered to
them the proper treatment, by which it is
hoped they will recover.
The family are said to have lived pre.

at that time, to which this sad occurrence
could be attributed, The remains of the
unfortunate young lady we're buried on

READ IT.-We heartily recommend those of our
readers who may be suffering from disease Of
long standing, or from complaints brought on
from the use of mercury, at some former period
of our lives, to read the advertisement of the
Elcctropathic Institute, to be found in our advcr.
Using columns. Dr. j.. H. Jossclyn. the Resident
Physician, has occupied that position for six
years, and taking into consideration the fact that
all the Directors Of the Institute are all medical
men of high standing in the community, it may
be considered as proof of Dr.. Josseyn's ability
that he has been retained in the position so long,
Dr. Josselyn is a regular graduate and is also
considered by competent Judges to be the most
scientific and successful electrician in the United
States; he will cure more than half the diseases
that flesh is heir to without the use of any medi-
cine whatever, but givos medicines in ali cases
where it is deemed necessary but never uses any
thing but vegetable preparations. The doctor
has been very successful in his treatment of
diseases incident to females, and enjoys much
larger practice in that particular line than any
other physician on the Pacific coast, The Elec-
tropathic Institute is located on one of the most
popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms for
the reception of patients are fiji ed up in style
OF magntccncc never before attempted by any
medical establishment on thi, coast, and the In
stitute is rated ia San Francisco as tho best in
the city.
