ELRCrRoPATHY.-The readers of this article are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
of the ''Electropathic Institu'e,' 645 Washington
street, San Francisco, to be found in another col
umn of this paper. The remarkable cures that
have been effected by DIR. J. H. Josselyn the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has gained for this establishment a reputa-
! tion that has never been equaled by any medical
establishment on this coast. In of female ir-
regularties especially, DR.. Josselyn has gained an
envable reputation and the spacious parors of the
Institute are continual, occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.
DR.. Josseyn 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 app icant is unfortunate as to he af-
hicted, accompanied with the real fictitious ad-
| dress, sends per Wells, Fargo Co., medicines
that he warrants to cure the disease, without the
slightest injury to the system II uses no mercu-
| ry or mineral poisons. The remedies used are
known as Electric, :" and most of them of his
own discovery Persons placing the mselves under
tie treatment of DIR. j. H. Jossel yn may rely upon
not only receiving correct and ccessul treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

SUCCESS THE True STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above ''old adage." then it will
apply to the Electrnpathc 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 thousa nd cases of disease to
| a successful issue, with the exception of very
I
overdosed 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.
Ii. 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
dertaklng, and yet the Resident Physician is
to Ill app earances of very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attainme nts such to enable
/ 1atar Oh
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 no poison
| ous drugs whatever are given under any crcum-
stances, and in numerous instances the sick per
mai emily cured without the of particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring aphysic-
iau on whom they rely, will do well to read tn
advertisement of the Electropathic Institute else
where in our columns.

READ lT.-We heartily recommend those of our
readers who may be suffering from disease of long
standing, from complaints brought on by the
mercury at former period of their lives read
the advertisement ofthe Electropathic Institute to
be found in advertising columns. DIR. ]. 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
medical men of high standing in the community, it
may be &C onsidered proof of Dr. Josse yn's ability
that he has been retained in the position SO long,
sldered by COMPETENT Judges to tie the most sclen-
tlc 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 medicine whatev
er but gives medicine in all cases where it is deem
ed necessary, but anything 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
lue THAI any other physician on the Pacific coast
he Electropathic Institute is located of the
most popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms
for the reception of patients fitted up in style
OF magnlhcence never before attempted by any med
lcal establishment this coast and the Institute
is rated in San Francisco as the best in the city.

GRAND sUccEss.-During the past year, some
half dozen 'bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have s'handed in their chechs,'' and closed
their doors. Without 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 hindrance but in
1850 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termned to put stop to the imposition. They &C
cordingy established the .Electropath1c Institute
at 645 Washington street, and placed it in charge of
| DR.. J. II. Josselyn, gentleman in every way COM
pet Mt for the position, with instruction
perfect in all cases undertaken by him, or
re .und the money. They advertise largely and the
| responsibility Of the Institute was well known
| that the sick aocked to the office for advice and
! treatment in swarms. The effect has begun to be
made manifest. Some six of the medic Il .sbilking'
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 elegant edi-
] fee for their use during tae coming summer

THE BEST is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
| ply well to the practice of medicine the
purchase of merchandise. Tho. sands on this coast
during the past fifteen years, have d their con-
stitutlons rnined by refusing treatment at the
hands of frst-class physicians, simply because a
| gang Of humhugs styling thems' Ives doctors. and
wl3o are almost destitute of sense, mu
more of medical knowledge, offer to those who
sick for a less than regular practitioner.
A man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, is worse than an idiot r, i'll nine
out of ten, the medicine so given instead of cur
ing the disease, makes the patient worse and does
permanent injury to the system and oftentimes to
such an extent to prevent the possibility of
ing the original disease. The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of phy sican unless
he has strong pronfs that the doctor is re. ular
graduate from some well reputed Medical College.
| The number of medical humbugs in San Francisc is
perfectly enormous more than two of the ad-
vertlsed physicians have a diploma. DR.. J II. JOS
selyn Resident Ply sician of the Eectropathic In
stitute is one of these, and is prepared at all times
/ to exhibit his diplomas.
