Just above MAGUIRES OPERA HOUSE.
It is seven years. up to February 10th, 1867,
since the Institute was established. The Directors
challenge the world to sht W more successful
triumph. There have been over TWENTY .Flv =
THOUSAND consultations. and nearly NV EN-
THOUSAND contracts made, with only eleven
failures to cure; lin those cases the fee was re-
turned) A large number OF cases prescribed for
which, from the nature OF the disease, could only
be temporarily relieved.
The doctor makes it his study to help suffering
humanity without regard to the amount OF money
the patient may be able to pay. His remedies
are mild and gentle in their action. They are
entirely free from all mineral poisons. or any
substance that can possibly injure the most deli
cate system The Doctors mode Of practice is
the EtORMED or ELECTROPATll1C system,
by which one half ofthe diseases in the catalogue
can be cured without medicines.
IN ALL CASES He WARRANTS A CURE or
asks no paw for his services. 1t has been too
common with persons calling themselves Physi-
clans. to treat their poor victims until their funds
we're exhausted, and then turn them away, halt
cured, to die by the wayside, or become burden
to the punlic while he fingers out life OF suffer
ing and misery.
plants the Doctor would say that he can cure
the worst possible case in very short time, with
out the person afflicted being exposed to their
most intimate friends.
To those whose constitutions have been injured
by youthful excuses, the Doctor offers positive
and speedy return Of health and manly vigor.
To the Rheumatic. almost instantaneous cure.
TO FEMALES,
either sick or in trouble, the Doctor wishes to
say. that he is thoroughly convcrsant with their
delicate and sympathetic systems, the disease and
troubles incident thereto, and can assure them a
perfect cure. or relief, as the case may require.
Ills FEMALE MONTHLY medicines are unsur-
passed by any other known. They are pleasant
10 the taste. and will be warranted safe and sure.
@s-The utmost secrecy observed.
All you that are afflicted, Male and Female, no
matter what the case may be. Twill give you re-
lief or cure or ask nothing for my trouble.
Persons residing at distance whose business or
domestic affairs prevent their visiting The city. or
those who feel deicacy in personal consultation,
can correspond with the Doctor and have advice
or remedies sent, which will be warranted to eff
feet the result required, and the letters will be
destroyed. In writing care should be taken to des-
cribe symptoms correctly State how long the

THE MAN-WoMAN Story The AUTHOR
"SrIcKs TO n."-The La Crosse Democrat Of
January 2Slh says Some of our exchanges
doubt the truth of the strange story We pub
lshed not long since in regard to the WONDER
full change of sex of Mrs. Ellen Powell, OF
Broadhead Wis, from woman to man.
she being few years since a wife, now
husband-ihen a W0nean, now man! We
cannot blame people for being increduous,
but the story is a true one. 1t is too wonder
full for belief-it startles even tie medical
world. We published the article knowing it
sounded too strange to be true--knowiu tn at
it would be deemed hoax, but the story
isa true one, stranger that fiction and
those who deem it otherwise are the only
ones sold. We repeat, on our honor as a
Journalist on the honor of man, the story
is true, the FORMER woman is now man,
the former wife is now husband.
When We published this strange story
some two weeks ago, some of our town read
ers put on sort of semi-comc puzzled
smile, and almost said by their looks:
guess you didn't get that out of the LA
Crosse Democrat. The Democrat exchanges
with the Herald. Well what do you think

CALFoRN1A.-John Paul, an old Califor-
man, moral yes over our State, IN view ol
the result of the recent elections:
California is nothing if not extreme,
She never does things by halves. The, Eur.
eka" of the State arms should be construed
to read. "Whole hog or nothing" She
grows the biggest trees and the smallest
woodpeckers, the greatest oxen and the
smallest OYSTERS the loudest women and
the littlest babies. Of any country on earth
When the weather sets in to be dry, not so
much as drop of dew falls for six months ;
when it takes fancy to rain 1t rains ball a
year thro' without break. Fires are DOT
OF frequent occurrence, but when they come
they burn up whole town. They ei'her have
no law at ALL and miscreants 60 unpublished
or the inhabitants turn out en- masse and
hang everybody. Crops are either SO large
az to as,onish the world, or fail entirely
Mines either pay immense or smash then
owners in correspond ng degree. When
the hat is passed around in church-they DO
have churches there-lhe chances are even
whether the crown be showed in by twenty
dollar gold pieces, or it goes back empty,
Travelling is generally safe, but when they
blow 10 a steamboat it means something
nothing more is heard of the boat or passen-
gers small swinJlers are unknown. When
man goes in to steal he puts his hands on
whole township, and will not compromise
on anything less than church. So in do
meslc matters. Husbands and wives are
either on the most atlectionate and Intimate
terms, or else sleep in separate be3; Women
are either barren altogether, or'e1se throw
trpIets without moments watnlng' /"
short, i, is the darndest country, if may lie
pardoned for the use of o classical New Eng
land phrase, that the sun ever shone on
Every thing exists in the extremes, and those
extremes, never meet.
