Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates dupe
the unwary. Some of the sefstyed doctors,
whose names to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers Of San Francisco and other
places. trade men and became too lazy to work
at their trades Some tinsmths, shOemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1853. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
rs advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten
are bogus, there is safety in trusting any OF
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gbbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
