dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has game ID for this establishment reputa-
ton that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment on this coast. In cases of female If
Irregularities especially, DR. Josselyn has gained an
euviabe 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

SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above ssod adage,' then it will
apply the Electropathc Institute of San Francis
CO. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since, under the management of
DR.. J. H. Josseyn, who has during that time treat
ed upwards of twenty thousand cases of disease to
a successful issue, with the exception of a very
small number, who were too far gone, having been
overdosed with poisonous drugs by some the nu-
merous quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DR.. 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
this coast with physical power sufficient for the
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is
to all appearances of very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attainme nts such 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 a 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 per
marently nIed 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 columns.
From the Mountain Democrat
READ Tive heartily recommend those of our
readers who may be suffering from disease of long
standing, or from complaints brought on by the
mercury at former period of the r lives to read
the advertisement of the Eectropathic Institute to
be found in our advertising columns. DR.. J. H.
Josselyn, the resident Physician, has occupied that
position for six years. and taking into
the fact that all the Directors of the Institute are
medical men of high standing in the community, it
may be considered as proof of DR.. Josselyns ability
that he has been retained in the position SO long,
DR.. Josselyn is regular graduate and IS also con-
sldcred by COMPETENT judges to he the most scien-
tic 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 where it is deem
ed necessary, but never 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
HE thah any other physician on the Pacific coast
he Electropathic Institute is located on one of the
most popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms
for the reception of patients fitted up in style
of magnitcence never before attempted by any med
cal establishment on this coast, and the Institute
is rated in San Francisco as the best in the city,
From the Contra Costa Gazette. JAN 49, 1861
A GRAND SUCCESs.-During the past year some
half dozen bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have s'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 medi
cine and established for the purpose of flch-
ing money from the sick and unfortunate, For
number of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let or hindrance, but in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termned to put stop to the imposition. They &C
cordingy established the Electropath1c Institute''
at 6l5 Washington street, and placed it in charge of
DR.. J. H. Josselyn gentleman in every way COM
pettnt for the position with instruction to warrant
a perfect cure IN all cases undertaken by him, or
refund the money. They advertise largely and the
responsibility of the Institute was SO well known
that the sick tocked to the office for advice and
treatment in swarms. The effect has begun to be
made manifest. Some six of the medical ssbilking''
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 more elegant ed-
fee for their use during tie coming summer.

The BEST is THE CHEAPEST This 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 rnned by refusing treatment at the
hands of frst-class physicians, simply because a
gang of humbugs styling themselves doctors, and
who almost destitute of common sense, much
of medical knowledge, offer to treat those who
sick for a less sum than regular practitioner.
A man that would allow quack 20 administe r med
icine to him. is than idiot for i'll nine cas-
of tcn the medicine given, instead of cur
ing the disease, makes the patient and does
permanent injury to the system. and oftentimes to
such extent to prevent the possibility of cur
ing the original disease. The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of physician unless
h 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-
vertsed physicians have diploma. DR.. J H. JOS
selyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute is of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
