have been effected by DR.. J. II. Josseyn, the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has game d for this establishment reputa
tion that has never been cqualled by any medica
establishment this coast. In cases of female ir
regularties especially, DR. Josselyn has gained ar
envable reputation, and the spacious parors of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles. ...
DR.. Josselyn pays particular attention to the

SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MERIT.-If there
is any truth in the above 'od adage,' then it will
apply to the Electrnpathc Institute of San Francis
CO. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since, under the management OF
Dr. J. H. 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
overdos ed with poisonous drugs by of 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 on
this coast with physical power sufficient for the
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
to all api earsnces of very decate~constitution,
but his scientific attainme nts such to enable
| him to determine the nature of the disease with
which the applicant may be afflicted, almost i'll
| 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
maEently cured without the use of one particle Of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring aphysic
iau on whom they rely, will do well to read tn
advertisement of the Electropathic Institute else
where in columns.
| From the Mountain Democrat.
READ IT.-We heartily recommend those of our
readers who may be suffering from disease of long
standing, from complaints brough on BY the use
mercury at former period of their lives to read
the advertisement of the Electropathc Institute tC
be found in advertising coluEIns. DIR. J. H
Josselyn, the resident Physician has occupied that
position for six years, and taking into consideration
the fact that all the Directors of the Institute
medical men of high standing in the community, il
may be nsidered proof of DIR. Josselyn's ability
that he has been retained in the position long
Dr. Josselyn is regular graduate, and rs also con
sidered by competent judges to e the most scien
tfc and successful electrician in the United States
he will than half the disea; es that fesf
is heir to without the of any medicine whatev-
but gives medicine in all where it is deem
ed necessary, but anything but vegetable
preparations. The doctor has been very successful
in his treatment of diseases dent to females ant
| enjoys much larger practice in that particular
line thau any other physician on the Pacific coast
he Electropathc Institute is located of the
most popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms
for the reception of patients fitted up in style
| of magnifcence never before attempted by any med
ical establishment this coast, and the Institute
is rated in San Francisco as the best in the city.
TFrom the Contra Costa Gazette, Jan. 49, 1861
! A GRAND SUCCRss.-During the past year, somc
half dozen s'bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
| cisco have sshanded i'll their checks" and CLOSED
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little nothing of the pructice of med
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 hndrance, but il
| 1860 certain well known medical practitioners de
termined to put stop to the imposition. They ac
cordingly established the s'Electropathlc Institute
at 6I5 Washington street, and placed it in charge
| DIR. J. II. Josselyn, gentleman in every way com
pet mt for the position with instruction to warrant
perfect cure in all cases undertaken by him, OF
refund the, money. They advertise largely, and the
| respectabiity of the Institute was well knowr
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 ssbilkng'
establishments have closed their doors, and severa
| more will shortly follow The business of the In
stitute has become extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and more elegant edi
| fee for their use during tue coming summer.
| TFrom the Yreka Union, Feb. 10, 1885,
| THE BEST IS THE CHHAPEsT This aadage will ap
| ply as well to the practice of medicine 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 themselves doctors, and
who are almost destitute of common sense, much
moIe of medical knowledge, offer to treat those who
sick for less sum than regular practitioner
| A man thatwould allow quack 20 administer med
icine to him, is than idiot for, i'll nine
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 tc
such extent to prevent the possibility of cur
ing the original disease The fact is that persoT
should place himself in charge of physician unles:
h c has strong pronfs that the doctor is regular
graduate from some well reputed Medical College
The number of medical humbugs in San Francisco il
perfectly enormous not more than two of the ad
vertsed physicians have diploma. DIR. J H. Jos
selyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
