The history of ihe “Greek Fire” is interesting on several ,accounts. The fire was invented in the seventh century, while the human mind was lapsing into barbarism, It saved the Eastera Empire repeatedly from destruction, by burning ships and driving back armies from before theapital. Amidot a hundred revolutiona it remained a close eecret io possession of the Government at Constantinople, for four bundred years, after which a kaowledge of its preparation passed over to the Mabommedans of Asia, who used it with powerful effect upon ‘the Western nations during the Crusade, Finally the iavention was lost, aud so continwed for several huudred years; and whether the parties now institutiag ihe experiment have reproduced the gevuine article, or only a good imitation of it, is simply a.matter of conjecture. We are indebted to Gibbon for our information concerning this destructive agent. About the year 670 the Saracens sat down before Constantinople their large naval expedition, having foand the Hellespont unguarded. The city appeared as if it would fall an easy prey. Buta whole summer spent in besieging it, only resulted in disaster to those fanatical children of the desert, A disgraceful peace, to which the Caliph assented in his dotage, was followed by 4 renewal of the war by bis successor, A seco expedition, comprising, it is said, eighteen hundred vessels, with one bundred aud twenty thousand meu, appeared before the place. Again the Grecian fire vessels were launched against them; aud with such terrible effect was this fire used, that the immense fleet was nearly annihilated, Nor were the land forces more successful when brought to face the supposed supernatural agent. After desperate exertions, prolouged to a period of thirteen months, the army reccived orders to retire; and Constantino ple was saved froin the sign of the crescent, up to the middle of the fifteenth century. Callinicus, a native of Heliopolis, in Syria ot Egypt, is alledged to be the discoverer of this great secret, He deserted from the service of the Caliph to that of the Emperor, probably from religious motives, The historian of the Decline and Fail suppores that naptha, or liquid bitumen, was the priocipal ingredient of the Greek fire. In places this resinous substance is found to epring from the earth, and catch fire on exposure to the atmosphere. With it were mingled some other substances, probably sulpbur and pitch or rosin, The compound produced a thick smoke and loud explosion accompanied by a fierce and obstinate flame which burned in every direction, Sand, vinegar and urine were the only known remedies against its ravages, ‘It was poured from ramparts in large bodies, or launched in red hot balls of stone or iron, or darted in arrows, or javalins, twisted round with flax and tow, which had deeply imbibed the inflammable oil. Sometimes it was deposited in fire ships, the victims and instruments of a more ample revenge, and wes most commonly blown thro’ long tubes of copper, which were planted on the prow ofa galley. and fareifully shaped into the moutus of savage monsters, that seemed to Mas astream of liqnid and consuming re, “Tt came flying through the air,’? says Joinville, “like a winged, long-tailed dragon, about the thickness of a bogshead, with the report of thunder and the velocity of lightning; and the darkness of nignt was dispelled by this deadly illumination,” hat a composition of this sort should be kepta yrofound secret for ages, is surprising —yet there can be no reasonable doubt regarding it. The Emperors would often euccor other nations with galleys and weapons prepared with it; but the mystery of its manufacture they would never impart, Asking aesistance from foreigners, they were inexorable in preserving a monopoly of the art. Sometimes they would instruct Embassadors to pretend that it had been miraculously made known to the great Constantine, and the boon would be withdrawn if communicated to others. By some means it was preserved to the end of the eleventh century, when at length it was discovered or stolen by the Mahommedans, But it continued in use up tc the invention of guapowder. Considering that the Arabians had made extensive researches in alchemy at an early date in the history of their empire, it seems the more strange that the constita-; ents of the famous Greek fire should have so long baffled every attempt to their discovery. Hit to Coyrrinutors.—Do not despise apy honest propitation, bowever smal:, in dealing with your editor. Look to the physical aspect of your manuscript, and prepare your page so neatly that it shall allure instead of repel. Use good pens, black ink, nice white paper and plenty of it.

More caution, however, should be used by thesyph ilitic patient, in cousulting nominal physicians of . the advertising elass, as nine-tenths of them are imposters, who assume German, Freveh, or other names, and are without any claims to medical knuwledge. These knavish rascals infest all large cities, and, by means of their lying advertisements and posters, they induce the unwary to enter their Peter Funk “institutions,’? and unmereifully fleece them and poison them with mercury, Persons living at a distance in the country are more apt to be duped by the lying notices of quacks than citizens. In view of the above facts, Dr. J.C, YOUNG would say that he is the only regularly educated physician in Catifornia now advertising. who devotes his whole time to the treatment of venereal diseases, Office, 761 Clay street. opposite the Plaza, Hours from 9 A.

All those who have reason to think, by bad feelings, that they have been treated thus, shduld consult Dr. Young, and he will examine their TAKE COURAGE—NEVER DESPAIR. Ne.son Creek, Sept. 30, 1861. Dr. J.C, Youxe,—You will remember what a poor wretched creature I was when . last saw you, and the result has astonished me as well as my friends.

This terrible disease is alarmingly on the increase in this country, and should be attended to in season for there is no complaint more dangerous, and attended with more suffering than this fatal disease, been troubled with venereal, seminal weakness, or any other private disease, should watch very closely for this trouble, Its first symptoms is generally an unpleasant sensation in All orders must be . the parts, sometimes of a tickling nature, an uneasiness of the mind, an undefined dread of something you know not what, and if not attended to the urine mes affected, and then follow all those dreadful symptoms which soroften result in a miserable and disgusting death. But the suffering, before death comes to relieve the patient, is dreadful; sometimes lunging the sufferer into that living death—Insanty. Dr, J, C. Young’s mode of treatment is a new discovery, made within a few years by M. Ricord of the . phase ng Venereal Hospital; and is sure. safe and speedy. All afflicted should call on Dr. Young at once, and . they will be sure of a permanent cure without an operation. P.8.—Dr. J.C, Young's Medical Works give a more detailed account of the above awful disease, Dr. J. C. Young’s Office is at No, 751 Clay street, opposite the the Portsmouth House, San Francisco, California. DO NOT BE DECEIVED. In consequence of the wide spread celebrity of Dr. J.C. Young, certain pretenders have palmed themselves upon the unsuspecting, as being the veritable Dr. Young. Persons wishing to avail themselves of D. Y’s skill should be very careful and call at his of. fice, or send some known triend that will not deceive . them, as the landlords of some disreputable hotels have been in the habit of keeping loungers on at their places, and when requested tocall Dr, Y., have _— such persons upon the invalid as being Dr. oung. The Dector will always be ready to attend on cases where the patient is not able to call.

Callinicus, a native of Heliopolis, in Syria ot Egypt, is alledged to be the discoverer of this great secret, He deserted from the service of the Caliph to that of the Emperor, probably from religious motives, The historian of the Decline and Fail suppores that naptha, or liquid bitumen, was the priocipal ingredient of the Greek fire. In places this resinous substance is found to epring from the earth, and catch fire on exposure to the atmosphere. With it were mingled some other substances, probably sulpbur and pitch or rosin, The compound produced a thick smoke and loud explosion accompanied by a fierce and obstinate flame which burned in every direction, Sand, vinegar and urine were the only known remedies against its ravages, ‘It was poured from ramparts in large bodies, or launched in red hot balls of stone or iron, or darted in arrows, or javalins, twisted round with flax and tow, which had deeply imbibed the inflammable oil. Sometimes it was deposited in fire ships, the victims and instruments of a more ample revenge, and wes most commonly blown thro’ long tubes of copper, which were planted on the prow ofa galley. and fareifully shaped into the moutus of savage monsters, that seemed to Mas astream of liqnid and consuming re, “Tt came flying through the air,’? says Joinville, “like a winged, long-tailed dragon, about the thickness of a bogshead, with the report of thunder and the velocity of lightning; and the darkness of nignt was dispelled by this deadly illumination,” hat a composition of this sort should be kepta yrofound secret for ages, is surprising —yet there can be no reasonable doubt regarding it. The Emperors would often euccor other nations with galleys and weapons prepared with it; but the mystery of its manufacture they would never impart, Asking aesistance from foreigners, they were inexorable in preserving a monopoly of the art. Sometimes they would instruct Embassadors to pretend that it had been miraculously made known to the great Constantine, and the boon would be withdrawn if communicated to others. By some means it was preserved to the end of the eleventh century, when at length it was discovered or stolen by the Mahommedans, But it continued in use up tc the invention of guapowder. Considering that the Arabians had made extensive researches in alchemy at an early date in the history of their empire, it seems the more strange that the constita-; ents of the famous Greek fire should have so long baffled every attempt to their discovery.

More caution, however, should be used by thesyph ilitic patient, in cousulting nominal physicians of . the advertising elass, as nine-tenths of them are imposters, who assume German, Freveh, or other names, and are without any claims to medical knuwledge. These knavish rascals infest all large cities, and, by means of their lying advertisements and posters, they induce the unwary to enter their Peter Funk “institutions,’? and unmereifully fleece them and poison them with mercury, Persons living at a distance in the country are more apt to be duped by the lying notices of quacks than citizens.

This terrible disease is alarmingly on the increase in this country, and should be attended to in season for there is no complaint more dangerous, and attended with more suffering than this fatal disease, been troubled with venereal, seminal weakness, or any other private disease, should watch very closely for this trouble, Its first symptoms is generally an unpleasant sensation in All orders must be . the parts, sometimes of a tickling nature, an uneasiness of the mind, an undefined dread of something you know not what, and if not attended to the urine mes affected, and then follow all those dreadful symptoms which soroften result in a miserable and disgusting death. But the suffering, before death comes to relieve the patient, is dreadful; sometimes lunging the sufferer into that living death—Insanty. Dr, J, C. Young’s mode of treatment is a new discovery, made within a few years by M. Ricord of the . phase ng Venereal Hospital; and is sure. safe and speedy. All afflicted should call on Dr. Young at once, and . they will be sure of a permanent cure without an operation.

Young’s Office is at No, 751 Clay street, opposite the the Portsmouth House, San Francisco, California. DO NOT BE DECEIVED. In consequence of the wide spread celebrity of Dr. J.C. Young, certain pretenders have palmed themselves upon the unsuspecting, as being the veritable Dr. Young. Persons wishing to avail themselves of D. Y’s skill should be very careful and call at his of. fice, or send some known triend that will not deceive . them, as the landlords of some disreputable hotels have been in the habit of keeping loungers on at their places, and when requested tocall Dr, Y., have _— such persons upon the invalid as being Dr. oung.
