particularly requested to read the advertisement
| of the ''Elec:ropathic Institute" 645 Washington
street, San Francisco, to be found in another col
umn Of this paper; The remarkable cures that
have been effected by DR.. ]. H. JOsselyn the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has gained for this establishment a reputa-
ton that has never been equaled by any medical
establishment on this coast. In cases of female ir-
reguiarities especially, DR.. Josseyn has gained al
enyiatle reputation, and the spacious parors Of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
! relief from their troubles.
/ Dr. Josseivn pays particular attention to the
treatment o cases in the interior Of the State, and
upon receipt OF full description Of the disease of
which the app icant IS unfortunate to be af-
icted, accompanied with the real fictitious adj
dress, sends per Wells, Fargo 4 Co., medicines
that he warrants to cure the disease, without the
! slightest INJURY to the system lie uses no mcrcU-

not only receiving correct and successful treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

| SUCCESS THE True STANDARD OF MEHIT.-If there
is any truth in the above sold adage'' then it will
apply TO the Electropathic Institute Of San Francis
co. This establishment opened to the public
about six years since, under the management of
Dr. J. Il. Jossclyn, 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
| oyerdosed with poisonous drugs by some the nu-
/ merous Cuacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician. DR.. J.
/ Il. JOssclyn, has received and replied 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 I'M
dertaking, and Yet the Resident Physician is a man
/ to all appearances of very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attainme nts such to enable
/ him TO determine the nature of the disease with
which the applicant may be afflicted, almost in
stantiy, and to prescribe such treatment will
produce a speedy and permanent cure The mode
of treatment at this institute is peculiar, poison
Gus drugs whatever given under any circum-
stances, and III numerous instances the sick per
manently cured without the use of one particle Of
medicine Of any kind. Persons requiring aphysic-
iau on whom they rely, will do well to read the
advertisement Of the ElectropathiC Institute, else
where in our columns.

GRAND SUCCESS.-During the past year, some
half dozen ''hogus Medical Institutes in san Fran
cisco have ''handed in their checks,'' and closed
their doors. Without exception, the establish
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little nothing of the pructice of medi-
cine, and established for the purpose of flch-
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For a
number of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let or hindrance but in
1850 certain well known medical practitioners de
termined to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordlnSiy established the ''Electropahlc Institute'
6i5 Washington street. and placed it in charge of
Dr.. J. II. Josselyn. gentleman in every way com
petent for the position, with nstruction 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 hocked to the office for advice and
treatment in swarms. The effect has begun to be
made manifest Some six of the medical sEbilking''
establishments have closed their DOORS and several
mora 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 tie coming summer.
From the Yreka Union, Feb 10, 1866.
THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST adage will ap-
ply well TO the practice of medicine as to the
purchase OF merchandise. Thousands 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 humLugS styling themselves doctors, and
who are almost destitute of sense, much
noIe of medical knowledge, offer treat those who
sick for a less sum than a regular practitioner.
4 man that would allow a quack 20 administer med
icne to him, is than idiot, fer. in nine cas-
of ten, the medicine given, instead of
ing the disease, makes the patient and does
permanent injury to the system, and oftentimes to
such extent to prevent the possibility of
ing the original disease. The fact is that person
should place himselfin charge Of ply stefan unless
h 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.. II. JOS
selyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute is of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
