lyn, has received aud replied 10 not less than ak
thousand five hundred letters, besides giving his

A GRAND SUccKss.-During the past year, som.
half dozen "bogns Madical InstituteS' in Sai
Francisco have "handcd in their checks" ant
closed their doors. Without an exception, the e.
adjustments alluded 10 were conducted by indiyid
uals that knew little Or nothing Of the practice O
medicine, and were established for the purpose o
| hlching money from the siak and unfortunate. Fo
n number of years these fellows succeeded in swind
ling their victims without let or hindrance but Il
1860 certain well-known medical practitioners de
termined 10 put a stop 10 the imposition. They nc
cordingly established tho "Elcctr0pathic Institute
at 845 Washington street. and placed il In charg
of DIR. j. ii. Josselyu, a gentleman in every wa
competent for the position, with instructions /
warrant u perfect cure in oil cases undertaken b.
him, or refund the money. They advertise largely
and the responsibility Of the Institute was so wei
known that the sick noeked to the Office for advic
and treatment, in swarms. The effect has begu
10 be made manifest. Some six of tho medica
"bilking" establishments have closed their doors
and several more will shortly follow. The bushes
| of the Institute has become 80 extensive that tn
Directors contemplate erecting n larger and NOR
elegant edidce for their use during the coming sum

The BEST is THE CHEApEsF.-This adagc wi
apply as we'll to the practice of medicines as to th
Ipurchage of merchandise. Thousands on this cons
during tina past fifteen years, have had their cor
/ %stitutions ruined byrefusing treatment 1.-THE hand
of frst-class physicians, simply because a gang
Ihumbugs, styling themselves doctors, and Who al
almost destitute of common sense, much more
medical knowledge, offer to treat those who are sic
!. for a less sum than d regular practitioner. A ma
who would allow q quack to administer mediein
TO him is worse than an idiot for, in nine case
out of ten, the medicine so given, instead of curin
the disease, makes the patient worse and does PEI
manent injury to the system. and oftentimes I
: such an extent rs to prevent the possibility Of cur
: ing the original disease. The fact is, that no pc
son should place himselfi in charge of q physical
unless he has strong proofs that the doctor is
regular graduate from some we'll reputed NEEDLES
College. The number of medical humbugs in Sa
Francisco is perfectly enormous; not more tina
two of the advertised physicians have a diplom,
DR.. J. H. J~osselyn, Resident Physician of tn
one ofthese, and is prepared at all times to exhib
his diploma to those calling upon him.
