apply to the Eectropathic Institute of San Francis
co. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since, under the management of
DR.. J. Ii. Josselyn who has during that time treat
ed upwards OF twenty thousand cases of disease to
a successful issue, with the exception of very
small number, who were too far gone, having been
overdosed with poisonous drugs by some of the nd
me- ols quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DIR. J.
H. Jossclyn, has received and replied not less
than six thousand five hundred letters, besides
giving his personal attention to all tie patients

work that it would be hard to find another man on
this coast with physical power sufficient for the
dertaking, end yet the Resident Physician is a

but his scientific atainEne nts such 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

A GRAND SUCCEss.-During the past year, some
half dozen ''bo3us Medis Institutes in San Fran
| cisco have ''handed in their checks" and closed
their doors. Without an exception, the establish
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little ing of the prucice of medi-
cine, and were established for the p rpose Of lch
| ing money fro the sick and un orturate. For
number of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let hndrance, but in
1850 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termined to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordngly established the 'ElectropathIc Institute'
at 6i5 Washington street, and placed it in charge OF
| DIR. J. II. Josseyn, gentleman in every way COM
pei, mt for the position, with ins ruc.ion to warrant
| perfect in all cases unde taken by him, or
| refund 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 warns. The effect has begun to be
made manifest. Some six of the medical sbilking''
establishments have closed their doors, and several
more will shortly follow. The busi ness of the In
sti,ute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi-
fee for their use during the coming summer,
