Late accounts state that Juarez, President
of Mexico, had arrived at San Antonio, Tex,
as. This is contradcted by the sympathiseys
of the Liberal cause, at San Francisco, but
the chances are that the news is true. The
adherents of Juarez have recently been falling
away from him. His decree, prolongng
his own official term, has lost him the sup.
port of some of his best friends.
According to late commercial circular,
there have been $50 business failures IN the
Northern States during the pas year, iuvolv-
ing the loss of $1,000 900. This is one OF
the results of an inflated paper currency.
The people living in the mining portion oI
Tulare county, are moving the formation Of
a new county, to be called Kern county.
Late accounts from Japan state that the
port of Ilogo has been opened to
foreign commerce. Great commercial re,
suits are expected to flow from this conces-
sion.

THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST This adage will
apply as well to the practice of Medicine as the
purchase of Merchandise. Thousands on this
coast during the last fifteen years have had their
constitutions ruined by rulusng treatment at the
hands of first class physicians, simply because a
gang of humbugs styling themselves Doctors offer
to treat the sick for a less sum than a regular
practitioner. A man who will allow a quack 10
administer medicine to him is worse than an
IDIOT for in nine cases out of ten the medicines so
administeredl INSTEAD of curing the disease makes
the patient worse end does permanent injury to
the system. often to such an extent as to prevent
the possibility of curing the original disease
The fact is no person should place himself in
charge Of II physician unless he has strong proof
that the Doctor is a regular graduate of some
we'll reputed Medical College. The number Of
medical hum bugs in San Francisco is perfectly
astounding. Not more than three of the adver
tising physicians have diploma. DR.. j. FL. JOS
sclyn, resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute, GAS Washington street, is one of these,
and he is prepared to exhibit his diplomas to
those that may desire to see them, and will also
furnish indsputable liuing evidence OF his ability
as Physician and Surgeon.
Ey IT is AN INDISPUTABLE FACT THAT
more disease and suffering is cntailed upon chill
dren by impure blood in parents than from any
other cause Heads of families owe 1t to their
posterity to see to it that their blood is kept free
from all poisonous matter that would have ten
dency to produce disease, suffering and perhaps
death to their offspring. Adams Blood Purifier,
prepared by Samuel Adams. San Francisco, is
strictly vegetable preparation and is scientifically
prepared from the choicest and most eficacious
blood purifying remedies known to the vegetable
world, and if used according to directions. will
restore the blood to its proper condition in a
short time. For sale at the United States Drug

SPECIAL NOTICES.

MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr VIM. X. Doherty g
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the we flare of our State and health
of our citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputa.
ton 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
tlcman who seeks. not by defamation 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 such
a 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
charge unless he effects cure. This, he is able
to do. because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola-
ton 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.
