SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above ''oll adage," then it will
apply the EectrGpathic Institute of San Francis
co. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since. under the manag ement of
DR.. J. II. 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
oyerdosed with poisonous drugs by some of the nu-
merous quacks with which this State abonnds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DR.. J..
Il. Josselyn has received and replied to not less
than six thousand FIVE hundred letters, besides
giyI"g his personal attention to all the patients

work that it would be hard to find another man on
this coast with physical power sufficient for the un-
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man

which the applicant may be afflicted almost in

GRAND SUCCEss.-During the past year, some
hall dozen ''bOgus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have ''han,ed 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 ch-
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For a
number Of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ing their victims without let ndrance, tut in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termlned to put stop to the imposition They
cordIn@y established the '.EectropathIc Insttute'
at 6l5 Washington street. and placed it in charge of
DR.. J. II. Josselyn, gentleman in every way
pet ut for the position, with instruction to warrant
perfect cur" in all cases undertaken by him,
refund the money. They advertise largely, and the
resPectablllty of the Institute well known
that the sick focked to the office for advice and
treatment in swarns. 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
stitute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi-
hce for their use during tt.e coming summer.

THE BEST Is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply as well to the practice of medicine al 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 frst-class physicians, simply because
gang Of humbugs styling thems, Ives doctors, and
WHO almost destitute of common sense much
of medical know ledge, offer to treat those who
sick for less sum than regular practitioner.
A man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, il than idiot, r III nine cas-
out of ten the medicine given, instead of cur
ing the disease, m tkes the patient and does
permanent injury TO the system and oftentimes to
such extent to prevent the possibility of cur
ing the gnal disease. The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of ply sician unless
h has strong pIoDfs that the doctor is a REGULAR
graduate from well reputed Medical College
The number OF medical humbugs in San Francisco is
perfectly enormous MT more than two of the ad-
vertised physicians have diploma. DR.. II. JOS
seyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute is of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
