ELRCTRoPATHY.-The readers of this article are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
of the s'Electropathic Institute,r CAS- Washington
street, San Francisco, to be found in another COL
umn Of this paper. The remarkable cures that
have been effected by Or. J. H. Josselyn, the Resi-
dent Physician of the Institute during the past six
years, has game for this establishment rcputa-
tion that has never been equalled by any medical
establishment this coast. In of female ir-
reguarities especially, Dr. Josselyn has gained an
cnvable reputation, and the spacious parors of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.
DR.. 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 as to be af-
ficted, accompanied with the real or fictitious ad-
dress, sends per Wells. Fargo s. Co., medicines
that he warrants to cure the disease, without the
slightest injury to the system He uses no mercu-
~ or mineral poisons. The remedies used are
known 'tElectrc,' - and most of them of his
own discovery. Persons placing themselves under
the treatment of DR.. J. H. Josselyn may rely upon
not only receiving correct and successful treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

SUCCESS THE TRUE STANDARD OF MERir.-If there
is any truth in the above ''od adage, then it will
apply to the Elecropathic Institute of San Francis
co. This establishment was opened to the public
about six years since, under the management Of
Dr. J. H. Josseyn, who has during that time treat
ed upwards of twenty thousand cases of disease to
successful issue, with the exception of very
EuIlotr, VIII were LOO lar gone, ndVlng Dcen
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 man on
this coast with physical power sufficient for the
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
to all appearances of very delicate constitution,
but his scientific attainme nts are such 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 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-
manently cured without the use of one particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physic-
iau on whom they rely, will do well to read tn c
advertisement of the Electropathic Institute else
where in our columns.
From the Mountain Democrat.
READ lT.-We heartily recommend those of our
readers who may be suffering from disease of long
standing, or from complaints broEg ght on by the
mercury at former period of their lives read
the advertisement ofthe Electropathc Institute to
be found in our advertising columns. DR.. 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 bigh standing in the community, it
may be ccnsidered proof of DR.. Josseyns ability
that he has been retained in the position so long,
IL
sidered by COMPETENT judges to lie the most scien-
tc and successful electrician in the United States;
he will cure more than half the disea> that flesh
is heir to without the of any medicine whatev-
er, but gives medicine in all cases where it is deems
ed necessary but never any thing but vegetable
preparations. The doctor has been very successful
in his treatment of diseases incident females and
enjoys a much larger practice in that particular
line thau any other physician on the Pacific coast
he Electropathic Institute is located of the
most popular streets in San Francisco, the rooms
fort fhor of . ,I inn In
of magnifcence never before attempted by any med
ica 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.
GRAND SUCCEss.-During the past year, some
half dozen 'bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have sshanded in their checks,'' and closed
their doors. Without exception, 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 fch-
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For
number of years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let hindrance, ut in
1860 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termined to put stop to the imposition. They ac-
cordingy established the sElectropathlc Insttute'
at 6l5 Washington street. and placed it in charge of
Dr. J. H. Josselyn, gentleman in every way COM
pets 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 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 more elegant edi-
fee for their use during tue coming summer.

THE BEST Is THE CHEAPEST This adage will ap-
ply as 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 rnned 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 treat those who
are sck for less sum than regular practitioner.
man that would allow quack 20 administer med
lcine to him, is worse than idiot, for in 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 to prevent the possibility of
ing the original disease. The fact is that no person
should place himself in charge of physician unless
h 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.. J H. JOS
seyn, Resident Physician of the Electropathic In
stitute is one of these, and is prepared at all times
to exhibit his diplomas.
