ELEcTRopATHY.-The readers OF this article are
particularly requested to read the advertisement
OF the 'Electropathic Institute" Gi5 Washington
street, San Francisco, to be found in another col
umn of this paper. The remarkable cures that
have been effected by DR.. j. II. JosseIyn, the Resi-
dent Ply sician of the Institute during the past six
years, has game for this establishment a reputs-
ton that has never been equalled by anv medical
establishment on this coast In cases of female If
regularities especially, DIR. Josseyn has gained an
envlable reputation and the spacious parors of the
Institute continually occupied by ladies seeking
relief from their troubles.

flcted accompanied with the real or fictitious ad-
dress, sends per Wells. Fargo & Co.. medicines

ry mineral poisons. The remedies used are

not only receiving correct and successful treatment
but upon his discretion and secrecy.

SUCCESS TIE True STANDARD OF MERIT-If there
is any truth in the above s'old adage' then it will
apply to the Eectropathic Institute of San Francis
co. This establishment was opened to the public
about SIX years since, under the mana cement of
DR.. J. H. Josselyn, who has during that time treat
ed upwards of twenty thousand of disease to
successful issue, with the exception of very
small number, who were too far gone, having been
overdosed with poisonous drugs bv some of the nu-
merous quacks with which this State abounds. Du-
ring the above time the Resident Physician, Dr. :
H. JOsseiyn, 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 on
this coast with physical power sufficient for the
dertaking, and yet the Resident Physician is man
to III appearances of very delicate constitution
but his scientific attainme nts such enable
him to determine the nature of the disease with
which the applicant may be afflicted almost in
stantly, and to prescribe such treatment as will
produce speedy and permanent 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 are per-
MAJ emily cured without the of one particle of
medicine of any kind. Persons requiring physic-
iau whom they rely, will do well read tn e
advertisement of the Electropathic Institute else
where in our columns.

y GRAND ScCCEss.-During the past year some
half dozen ''bogus Medical Institutes in San Fran
cisco have "handed IN their checSs.' and closed
their doors: without an exception, the establish
ments alluded to were conducted by individuals
that knew little nothing of the pructce of nedi-
cine, and established for the p,1rDose of fch
ing money from the sick and unfortunate. For
number OF years these fellows succeeded in swind-
ling their victims without let or hindrance tut in
1850 certain well known medical practitioners de-
termined to put stop to the imposition. They &C
cordinel established the ''Eectropath,c nsttilte'
at 6i5 Washington street, and placed it in charge of
DR.. J. Fl. Josselyn, gentleman in every wav 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
respectability of the Institute was so well known
that the sick focked to the office for advice and
treatment in swarIns. 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 so extensive that the Directors
contemplate erecting larger and elegant edi-
hce for their use during the coming summer.

out of ten the medicine given, instead cur
ing the disease, makes the patient worse and does
permanent injury to the system. and oftentimes to
such extent to prevent the possibility of cur
