ELReTEopATbY.-The readers Of this article
particularly requested to read the advertisement
of the ssElectropathic 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. J. H. Josselyn, the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years. has game ID for this establishment reputa-
tion that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment on this coast. In cases of female r
regularities especially, DR. Josselyn has gained
envable reputation, and the spacious parlors of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.
DR.. 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

ficted, accompanied with the real fictitious ad-
dress, sends per Wells, Fargo s. 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 'iElectric,' and most of them OF his
own discovery. Persons placing themselves unde =.

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

SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above 'sold adage," then it will
apply the Electropathic Institute of San Francis
co. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since, under the management Of
Dr. J. H. Josselyn, 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
overdosed with poisonous drugs by some of the nu-
merous quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DIR. 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
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
to all ap 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
| stantly, and to prescribe such treatment as 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 numerous instances the SICK arc per-
mai emily cured without the use of one particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physlc-
iau on whom they rely will do well to read til C

| A 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 flch-
| 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
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
| termined to put stop to the imposition. They
cordingy established the Electropathlc Institute'
at 6i5 Washington street, and placed it in charge of
| Dr. 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,
refund the money. They advertise largely, and the
respectability of the Institute was well known
that the sick hocked to the office for advice and

made manifest. Some six of the medical 'bilking''
establishments have closed their doors, and several
more will shortly follow. The business of the In
sti.ute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi-
fee for their during tue coming summer.

THE BEST is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply well to the practice of medicine the
purchase of merchandise. Thousands on this coast
during the past fifteen years, have had their
stitutions rnined by refusing treatment at the
hands of frst-class physicians, simply because
gang of humbugs styling themselves doctors, and
who almost destitute of common sense, much
moIe of medical knowledge, offer to treat those who
sick for less sum than regular practitioner.
man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, is worse than an idiot, for, III nine
out of ten, the medicine given instead of cur
ing the disease, makes the patient worse and does
ornament 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
h e has strong pronfs that the doctor is 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
selyn Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute is of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas. -.r l.
