readers who may he 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
Ecctropathic Institute, to be found in our adver-
Using columns. Dr. j. Ii. Josselyn 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. Josselyn's ability
that he has been retained in the position so long.
Dr. iosselyn is a regular graduate and is also
considered by competent Judges to be the most
scientific and successful electrician in the United
Stotes he will cure more than half the diseases
that flesh is heir TO without the use Of any medi-
cine whatever, but gives medicines in all cases
where elt is deemed necessary, hut 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 EIec-
tropathlc Institute is located on one of the most
popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms for
the reception of patients are fitted up in style
OF magnlicencc never before attempted by any
medical establishment on this coast, and the In
sttutc is rated in San Francisco as the best in
the city.

determined to leave my business and go to the
Sandwich Islands, having been informed that
could not be cured. Invent to San Francisco. and
while waiting for Il ship called on Dr., Bourne,
who stated that a trip to the Islands would
probably result dsastrously, and was unnecessary
as could be speedily cured at his establishment.

week was so much improved thought could risk
returning home and do my duty as engineer on

Bourne's Injunction, never to take medicines a.

MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty's
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming a sine
qua non to the welfare of our State and health
of our citizens and his rapidly spreading repua-
tion, although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal of SKILL and follows as the natural effect
of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage Of
every available means that promised relief but
without success, until they called upon DR.. Do
herty, who in an Incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is a gen.
tleman who seeks. not byrdefamaion of others,
to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure of his own upon the ruin of another's
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure In no case does the Doctor make q
charge unless he effects a cure This, he is able
to do, because. he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola
tion which appertains to that confidence. Per.
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do we'll to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, as for consultation he asks no
fee; nor does he insist on obedience to his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.
