ELECTRoPATHY.-The readers of this article are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
of the 'sElectropathc Institute,' 6i5 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 d for this establishment reputa-
ton that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment this coast. In of female ir-
regularties especially, Dr. JOsselyn has gained an
envable reputation, and the spacious parors of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.
DIR. Josselyn pays particular attention to the
treatment of in the interior of the State and
upon receipt of full description of the disease of
which the applicant is unfortunate as to be af-
ficted, accompanied with the real fictitious ad-
dress, sends per Wells, Fargo & Co., medicines
that he warrants to cure the disease, without the
ry mineral poisons. The remedies used are
known ''Electric,' - and most of them of his
own discovery. Persons placing themselves under
the treatment of Dr. j. II. Josselyn may rely upon
only receiving correct and full treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

SUCCESS TIE TRUE STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above cold adage' then it will
apply to the Electropathc Institute of San Francis
This establishment opened to the public
about six years since, under the management of
DR.. J. II. Josselyn, who has during that time treat
ed upwards of twenty thousand cases of disease to
4
small number, who were too far gone, having been
overdos ed 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.
II. 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 1T would be hard to find another
this coast with physical power sufficient for the
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
to all appearances of very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attalnme nts such as 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 given under any circum-
stances, and in numerous instances the sick per
marently cured without the use of particle of
Medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physic-
iau whoIn they rely, will do well to read tn e
advertisement of the Electropathic Institute else
where in our columns.

AGRAND SUCCESS.-During the past year, some
half dozen i'bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have "handcd 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 lch-
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
termlned to put stop to the imposition. They
cordingy established the Electropath1c Institute'
at 6i5 Washington street, and placed it in charge of
Dr. j. H. Josselyn, gentleman in every way
pet: mt for the position, with instruction to warrant
a perfect cure In all cases undertaken by him,
refund the money. They advertise largely, and the
responsibility of the Institute was so well known
that the sick iocked to the office for advice and
treatment in swarms. The effect has begun to be
made manifest. Some six of the medical 'bilking''
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 more elegant edi-
flee for their use during the 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 on this coast
during the past fifteen years. have had their con-
stitutiOns rnined by refusing treatment at the
hands of tirst-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 less sum than regular practitioner.
A man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icne him, is than idiot, for in nine cas-
of ten, the medicine given, instead of cur
ing the disease, makes the patient worse 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 a regular
graduate from 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 a diploma. DR.. J II. JOS
