ELECTRoPATHY.-The readers of this article are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
of the ssElectropathic 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. II. Josselyn the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has game for this establishment a reputa-
tion that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment this coast. In of female ir-
regularities especially, DR.. Josseyn has gained
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 cases in the interior of the State and
upon receipt of full description of the disease of
which the applicant is so unfortunate 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
slightest injury to the system He uses mercu-
ry, or mineral poisons. The remedies used are
known as ''Electric,' and most of them of his
own discovery. Persons placing themselves under
the treatment of DR.. J. II. Josselyn may rely upon
not only receiving correct and successful treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above ''old adage,' then it will
apply to the Electropathic Institute of San Francis
This establishment was opened to the public
about SIX years since, under the management of
DR.. J. II. 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 of the nu-
merOus quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DR.. 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 it would be hard to find another on
this coast with physical power sufficient for the un-
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
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
drugs whatever given under any circum-
stances and in numerous instances the sick per
mauently cnred without the use of particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physic-
iau whom they rely, will do well to read tn e
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 use
mercury at some former period of their lives read
the advertisement ofthe Electropahic Institute to
be found in advertising coluEins. DIR. j. ii.
Josselyn, the resident Physician, has occupied that
position for six years. and taking into consideration
the fact that all the Directors of the Institute are
medical men Of high standing in the community, it
may be considered proof of DR.. Josseyn's ability
that he has been retained in the position long,
Dr. Josselyn is regular graduate, and is also con-
sldered by competent Judges to be the most scien-
c and successful electrician the United States
he will cure more than half the diseases that flesh
is heir to without the of any medicine whatev-
or, but gives medicine in all cases where it is deem
ed necessary, but anything but yege
preparations. The doctor has been very successful
in his treatment of diseases incident to females and
enjoys much larger practice in that particular
llne than any other physician on the Pacific coast
The Electropathc Institute is located on one of the
most popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms
for the reception of patients are fitted up in style
of gnihcence never before ATTEMPTED BY any med
ical establishment this coast and the Institute
is rated in San Francisco as the best in the city.
From the Contra Costa Gazette, Jan. l3, 1866
A GRAND SUCCEss.-Durng 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 l.
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little nothing of the pructice of medi-
cine, and were established for the purpose of ilch-
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For a
number of years these fellows succeeded in svind-
ling their victims without let or hindrance but in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termined to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordingly established the Electropath1c Instiute''
at 6i5 Washington street, and placed it in charge of
DIR. J. II. Jossel lyn, gentleman in every way COM
pete for the position, with instruction to warrant
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 hocked 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 elegant edi-
flee for their use during the coming
From the Yreka Union, Feb. 10, 1866.
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-cass physicians, simply because a
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.
A that would allow quack 20 administer med
icne him, is than idiot, for in nine cas-
ing the disease, makes the patient worse and does
permanent injury the system, and oftentimes to
such extent to prevent the possibility of
ing the original disease. The fact is that 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.. II. JOS
selyn, Resident Physician of tire Electropathc In
stitute is of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
