ELECTRoPATHY.-The readers of this article are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
of the ''Electropathic Instltue,' 643 Washington
street, San Francisco, to be found in another col

have been effected by DIR. J. H. JoSSeyn. the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past
years, has gained for this establishment a reputa-
ton that has never been cqualled by any medical
establishment this coast. In cases of female If
Irregularities especially, DIR. Josselyn has gained an
envaJle reputation and the spacious parlors of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.

is any truth in the above ''old adage' then it will
apply to the ElectrOpathic Institute of San Francis
co. This es establishment opened to the public
about six years since, under the management of
DIR. 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
overdosed with poisonous drugs by some ofthe
merous quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, DR.. ].
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 amonnt 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 Ill appearances of a very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attalnme nts are 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 are given under any circum-
stances. and in numerous instances the sick per
maternity cared without the use of particle Of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physic-
iau whom they rely, will do well To read tn

| [From the Contra Costa Gazette, Jan. l3. 1861
| A GRAND SUCCESS-During the past year, some
half dozen 'bogus Medical Institutes in Fran
| cisco have ''handed i'll their checks,'' and closed
! their doors. W lthout an exception, the establish
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little or nothing of the pructice of medi
cine and established for the purpose of filch-
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For
number of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let hindrance, but in
1866 certain well known medical practitioners de
termined put a stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordingly established the Electropathc Institute
at 6l5 Washington street, and placed in charge of
| DIR. J. H. Josselyn gentleman in every way COM
petent 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 Aocked to the office for advice and
| treatment in swarms. The effect has begun to be
made manifest. Some six of the medical 'bilking''
|
more will shortly follow. The business of the In
| sttute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi-
! ice for their use during tie coming summer.
From the Yreka Union, Feb 10, 1866.
! THE BEST Is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply as well to the practice of medicine as the
/ purchase of merchandise. Thousands this coast
during the past fifteen years, have had their con-
| situations rnined by refusing treatment at the
hands of first-class physicians, simply because a
| gang of humbugs styling themselves doctors. and
VITO are almost destitute of common sense, much
noJe Of medical knowledge, offer to treat those who
are sick for less sum than regular practitioner.
| A man that would allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, i than idiot for i'll nine
es out 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 an extent as to prevent the possibility of
inc the original disease. The fact is that person
should place himself in charge Of ply stefan unless
II 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 a.; not more than two of the ad-
| vertised physicians have diploma. DR.. J II. JOS
selvn Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
sttute is one of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
