GRAND SCCCEss.-During the past year, some
half dozen 'bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have "handcd in their checks,' and closed
their doors: Without an except n, the establish
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little nothing of the pructce of medi-
cine, and were established for the purpose of fitch
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For a
number of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let or h ndrance tut in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termlned to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordngy established the 'Electropathlc Institute
at 645 Washington street. and placed it in charge of
Dr. j. H. Josselyn, gentleman in every way COM
pet mt for the position, with instruction warrant
perfect cure in all cases undertaken by him, or
refund the money. They advertise largely, and the
responsibility of the Institute 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 medic Il .sbilking''
establishments have closed their DOORS and several
more will shortly follow. The business of the In
stltute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and elegant edi-
nee for their use during tie coming summer.

THE BEST is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply as we'll to the practice of medicine as to the
during the past fifteen years, have ID their con-
situations rnined by refusing treatment at the
hands of frst-class physicians, simply because a
gang of humbugs styling thems Ives doctors. and
ar almost destitute of sense, mu h
moIe of medical ledge, offer treat those who
sick for a less sum than regular practitioner
A man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, is than idiot, r, i'll nine cas-
out of ten the medicine so glyen ad of
ing the disease, makes the patient and does
permanent injury to the system. and oftentimes to
such an extent as to prevent the possibility of
ing the original disease. The fact that person
should place himself in charge of ply stefan unless
has strong pronfs that the doctor is a re. ular
graduate from some well reputed Medical College
The number of medical humbugs in San Francisco is
perfectly enormous n t more than two of the ad-
vertsed physicians have diploma. DR.. J H. JOS
slit is of these, and is prepared all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
