ELEcrRoPATHY.-The readers of this article are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
of the "Electropathic Institute,' 645 Washington
umn of this paper. The remarkable cures that
have been effected by DR.. J. H. Josselyn, the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has gained for this establishment reputa-
tion that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment this coast. In cases of female ir-
regularities especially, Dr. Josselyn has gained an
enviable reputation and the spacious parors of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.
DIR. Josselyn pays particular attention to the
treatment of cases in the interior of the State and
upon receipt of full description of the disease of
which the applicant is unfortunate as to be af-
ficted, accompanied with the real or 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 as "Electric, - and most of them are of his
own discovery. Persons placing the mselves under
the treatment of DR.. ]. II. Jossely yn may rely upon
not only receiving correct and su treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MRRIT.-If there
is any truth in the above sold adage," then it will
apply to the Eectrnpathic Institute of Francis
CO. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since, under the management of
DR.. ]. H. Josselyn who has during that time treat
ed upwards of twenty thousand cases of disease to
a successful issue, with the exception of a very
small number, who were too far gone, having be en-
overdose ed with poisonous drugs BY some of the nu-
merous quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician DR.. J..
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 un-
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
to all appearances of very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attainme 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 will
produce speedy and permanent cure The mode
of treatment at this institute is peculiar poison
Gus drugs whatever are given under any circum-
stances and in instauces the sick per-
mauently cured without the use of one particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring aphysic-
iau on whom they can rely, will do well to read tn
advertisement of the Electropathic Institute else
where in our columns.

Josseyn, the resident Physician, has occupied that
position for six years. and taking into consideration
medical men of high standing in the community, it
may be C nsidered proof of DR.. Josseyn's ability

lc and successful electrician in the United States

most popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms
for the reception of patients fitted up in style
OF masnlhcence never before attempted by any med
cal establishment this coast, and the Institute
is rated in San Francisco as the best in the city.
From the Contra Costa Gazette, JAM Is, 1861
GRAND SuCCEss.-During the past year, some
half dozen "bogus Medical 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 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-
ling their victims without let hndrance, but in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termined to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordingly established the Electropath1c Institute''
at 645 Washington street and placed it in charge of
DIR. j. II. Josselyn, gentleman in every way COM
pet mt for the position with instruction to warrant
perfect cure in all cases undertaken by him, or
refund the money. They advertise largely, and the
respectability of the Institute was 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 ssbilking''
establishments have closed their DOORS and several
more will shortly follow The business of the In
stitute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi-
flee for their use during tue coming summer.
From the Yreka Union, Feb. 10, 1856.
THE BEST Is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply we'll to the practice of medicine 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 thems.l Ives 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, fer in nine
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 as to prevent the possibility of
ing the original disease The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of physician unless
b 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.. H. JOS
seyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitnte is of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
