DR.. HoHERTY Dear Sir feel my health so
fully restored that, in common gratitude, believe

your valuable scrvices-particuarly so as your fee
small for the work performed. l arrived in
this city from the East about one year ago, and
was then suffering from old case of elect, com
plicated with structure. Being a stranger in this
city, and believing those doctors who gave such
positive of success were necessarily the
best (some of whom have large number of titles)
placed myself in their charge and continued un-
der their treatment until had lost nearly all hope
and considerable sum of money. wish to say
that you the sixth doctor l have en-
ployed, and the only one who has ever done me
any service. My elect is wholly cured, the stric-
ture is all removed, and my general health is bet
ter than it has been for years. In conclusion 1
would say to the many unfortunates who require
medical advice, if you have any doubt as to whom
you should employ, ask DR.. Doherty for my address
and cell and see me, Il keep store in this city,
My experience may save you many dollars.
would also add that, in the early stage of my dis
ease, used large amount of the preparations

them. am, Doctor, very truly yours, Ill.

Seminal Weakness sworn to Certificate

Seminal WeakneSs.-A sworn to Certificate
of most remarkable cure of Spermatorrhea
A desire to benefit humanity, and feeling of
gratitude to DR.. W. X. D0HERTY, alone induces
me to make this statement. For many years had
been afflicted with that fearful disease known as
Spermatorrhea," " or seminal weakness the result
of self-abuse but till 1855 experienced but little
trouble or Inconvenience; in that year. however
had seminal weakness to fearful extent, which
followed by the most alarming symp-
TOMS as weakness of the back and limbs pain in
the head, dimness of vision, nervousness and gen
eral debility. My mind too, was affected to such
an extent as to seriously impair my memory my
ideas were confused and spirits depressed. | was
averse to society, had evil forebodings and self
distrust, and was entirely untitled for any of the
duties of life. From 1855 to the summer of 1863
| employed the very best medical talent could
fnd and spent several hundred dollars but in no
instance obtained more than temporary relief 1
had about concluded there was no relief for me in
this world, but reading Dr. Dohertys advertisement
l thought should call and see him, as he charged
nothing for consultation. had an interview with
the Doctor at his office, in Sacramento street. and
his fee for treatment was so reasonable, deter
mined to try him, though l did not expect much
benefit from his treatment. On the 5th day of
December last, placed myself under his care; in
one week found myself very much improved; and
now, after five weeks treatment, feel myself tho
roughly cured Of all my troubles and in the enjoy
ment of the best of health. Hoping that my expc-
rience may be of benefit to others similarly afflicted

Caution to the Unfortunate.


Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates dupc
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tinsmiths shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence office keepers &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight eases out of ten
are bogus, there is 10 safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates, pretended patients letters, &c.
DR.. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
Consultation FREE.
