Se Doesticks on the Boy Question. Children are, I believe, indigenous to the State of Matrimony, which is « domiuion of so great an extent that its products may be said to grow spontaneously over pretty much all the world. There are but two sorts of children under the sun, decent children and mean children. All children are decent by nature, and on) mean by education, When the Lord sends children to a man, he doesn’t intend that man to eorrupt those children into juvenile christians, who are always scoundrels in after life; but he means to have him bring up those children as human sinners until they are old enough to see for themselves what the world is made of, and to shape their course for the Heaven on the other side of it. For there never was a man yet who thoroughly Lelieved ina Heaven, who dida’t try kind of authority for the belief that no man ever tried to get there and failed, Neo man ever got to the door of Paradise that he didn’t find the latch-string on the outside. and a hearty welcome within, The path thither may be narrow, but no sinner ever yet found it elesed against him and marked “No Thoroughfare.”” That man however, who attempts to start his children in the road and tries to flog them through at 2.40 moral speed, without any rest for worldly antics, will find them perpetually making & turns from the main road ont tting wofully tangled upin the brushpe ungodliness which borders on both sides ef it; whereas, if he’d give them a play11 now and thea, with a chance to work off their juvenile steam, and cut up their regular allowance of devilment, they’d sober down into a steady gait after a while and locomote straight along in the right direction. A child is normally in a condition of monkeyshinism, and when it isn’t engaged in some kiud of frelic, it is out of condition, and is either sick or asleep. I object to pious children, for they only illustrate the besotted ignorance and authoritative depravity of their parents. Pity the boy under the age of a dozen peer, who pretends to like antes School, for if he’s a decent boy he doesn’t like it, and despises himself for a liar every time heis dragooned by bis parents into saying that he does, and if he’s a mean boy, he only likes it for the sake of getting the prizes at the end of the year, for learning the greatest number of verses. The boy, who, during a long sermon, makes pictures of elephants and grim school-masters in the prayer book ; or extemporizes out of the foot stool turned bottom up, an imaginary ship with four masts, ene at each corner, and navigates that original craft with his feet all about his end of the pew; or who pinches his sister, and then pretends it wasn’t he, is a human boy anda decent boy; and if, in addition to the aformentioned pranks, I see him throwing sly spit-balls at the sleepy deacon in the next slip, 1 immediately conceive an immense respect for that boy, and want to instruct him in the art of kite-making, and in the art of chestnut-wood whistles. Who doesn’t have a regard for the high sing who puts Robiason Crusoe inside his prayer book, and peruses that interesting narrative instead of seating the responses? Whe thinks that a child of six years old is cable of breaking the Sabbath? Why, nobody Bat a stultified moral ass. The sacred day is not of such fragile material as to be fractured by the efforts of children, and I think it would withstand the shock, eveniftheir father should be morally independent enough to join in their me of hide-and-seek, or impart a little practieal instruction in the apppropriate diversion of leap-frog. When I am informed that a certain man is too pious to let his childron have their romps on Sunday, I look very sharp at that man’s weights and measures, in any week-day dealings with men. All “proper” persons, who never do anything on Sunday but go te meeting and read beoks, are fearfully bored by their starched-up morality, and only get through the day with tolerable pepelranee of propriety, by having a dinner at the end of it, of such super-extra quality that it pea them all day in a state of delightful anticipation. Yeur A. 1. religioniet who is tou good to take a walk in the woods on that day, is sure te surfeit himself at dinner-time, and go to slecp immediately after, in a state unctuous grace, And the child of that pattern-man has not even the satisfaction of stuffing himself as full as his reted parent, being generally admonished, when making a timid request for a second helping of pyitise, not to ‘make a little pig of himself.” And if that tortured child slips into the back yard and fires stones through the neighbors’ cucumber frames, and is caught at it and soundly whipped by his father, who is awakened from his postprandial nap for that purpose, and is therefore ten times more severe than usual, I fully believe that that boy is an injured member of society; and it gratifies me, as a lover of abstract right, to believe that the Christian parent will get that thrashing all back opis with the compoundest kind of interest when he is brought up to the shop where they dispense retributive justice, trained up in this reprehensible manner are always mean boys, and if they don’t make mean men, it is because their Creator endowed them with innate manliness of sufficient vitalit to live, and thrive, in spite of all the moral killing down of their earlier years. Lam not acquainted personally with the Adversary, the monarch of the infernal realm, but from my knowledge of bis ascribed attributes, and gene: ral character for shrewdness and perception of human nature, I have no doubt that he considers himself eventually sure of those men who once were the ‘“medel’”’ boys of the Sunday Schools. But if he sees a boy who has an oceasional school-boy fight, and is 44 to a great variety of harum-scarum mischief, he considers his hold upen that young chap as very insecure, and soon comes to regard him as a personal ene . , mind, I don’t mean to speak disrespectfully of religion, or of holy things, or of auything pertaining thereto; no man living basa eater reverence for these things than I ; what say is, that the whole notion of making conventional Christians of children, is humbug, of the most unmitigated stamp. Decent children, while they are children, are the only perfeet Christians of which mortals can have experience. IfGod hadn’t wanted any children in the world, he wouldn’t have made any, and to attempt to convert his little ones into premature proper men and precocious pattern women is to libet the Supreme Intelligence. The boy, who, for the first time in his life, steals apples commits a larceny, ifthe apples are very good, and a mean man owns them ; but the decent boy will divide the spoil with all hie fellows, and gens pry! get “told of bya mode] scholar, and on being asked about it, will own up, take his thrashing like a man, promise not to do so again, and will keep his . ger } mean boys asa general rule, havn’t ¢ pluck to climb a fence, and are afraid of dogs, butif amean boy did muster up courage to help himself to fruit, he’d lie himself out of the scrape, hide away his apples, and munch them in selfish solitude. But after all, beys and girls are but a degeneration of children; viciousness grows with ttature, and sin comes with years, so I’ll go back te the children, where I started from; in this ye letter I mean ; though if there wasa antain of Youth convenient, and the price for a bath came within the limit of my slender means, possibly I’d take a dip and emerge a bare-footed brat with a dirty face, and a stubbed toe, with a fortune of five marbles and a the obild who saves his money is a most objectionable child, though many are swindled out of their few pennies by their judicious and correct parents, and are induced to put it in money-boxes to give to the heathen, through the medium of some Tract Society or similar detestble against the honest public. Mr. Porter, the iladelphia defaulter, the pious Beere tary of the American Sunday School chilones United States out of $87,000, which they bed contributed fer the heathen, has given . to get there, and we have the tallest . y the world an illustration of what becomes of the money. Bur su e that the heathen got the money, which they don’t, I object to the whole system. In the first place, it perverts the minds ef the children who are coaxed to give the money— when a child, in anxious doubt as to the disposition of a sixpenny donation from some generous friend, is set upon by the parental eolicitations to give it to the “poor heathen,’’ of course that child gives it to the begging demand, but the after reflections on the quantities of lollepops and “taffy” purcbasable with the sixpence, will inevitably engender iu the mind of that child the bitterest hatred of all sorts of heathen including possibly those who take their breakfast at the same table with himself. Children, are in this respect, like men; you can’t drive them into Heaven half so easily as ou might coax them into the other place ; and the attempt to curb the wayward tempers aad moods of a light-hearted child; to make him grave and serious in deportment ; to make him speak by rote, and walk by the dancing master’s rule; to®queeze all the naturalness and gayety out of his little body by making hima mode] child, is about as reasonable as to try to harness a butterfly to a dray and expect to make him earn his living by turnpike traction. If the Cag-Mag Cannibals of the Foo-Foo Islands are only convinced of their gastronomic errors, and convicted of their gustatory sins, by receiving the pennies of my poy then ma: the barbarian Cag-Mags goto their heatheni death-beds without the slightest attention to their bills of fare. A rattle-box is werth more to my child than a million cannibals; adollisof infinitely more importance than all the heathen that ever stewed each other, or anybody else; and if a child of five years was offered a pack of fire-creckers for his immediate delectation, er the certainty of eelestial happiness if he would give them to the Foreign Mission cause, he would of course, if he was a decent child, take the explosives, and trust to luck for his propertion of Paradisaic joys in futuro; he would enjoy his fire-works now, and run the risk of any retributive pyrotechnics on “the otherside of Jordan.” If he wasa mean child he woula make the donation to the ‘Cause’ in order that he might, for the rest of his life, go on swindling mankind with impunity. But I spake just now of my a ow I’ve got no boy, but of course I shal] have a boy sometime. And if I ty that boy was going to be an infant man, I would ask his pardon for the liberty, and pinch his head off before he had lived to the ripe age of an hour and a half. But he won’t, of course he won't; he’d better not ; just let me catch ree putting on any airs, you vagabond, and I’ll give you the soundest flogging you ever bad. He’ll kick when I awiteh him. but I’ll switeh the kick out of him, if he don’t mind his eye. .He’ll break things about the house, and he’ll probably put rats in the soup, and shut up cats in the piano—he’!l tear his clothes sliding dowa hill, and he’!l get through the iee when he goes on skativg parties, and be brought home ina very limp condition, Let me see, shall thrash him for going on the weak ice, when his mother told him not to? Very respectable woman, his mother; very nice woman indeed, very nice woman, but don’t understand boys. Of course. he went in the thin places, and of course he got in; his mother shouldn’t tell him not to go in dangerous places, for of course, if he’s anything of a boy, he’ll go whether he bas been forbidden or not; and if she dido’t forbid him, he’d be spared the disobedience, No, I won’t whip him for that. He’ll come home with black eyes and scratches on his face, from fighting. Well, his mother told him not to fight, but I don't think she ever was a boy—a wholesome fight now and then isa capital thing for him, and by Jove I wen’t stop his fighting, unless he gets to bea bully and pitches into little boys who don’t have a fair chance with him. Come here, you cowardly little wretch, come here, till I belt you; and you, Keziah Jane, you neevdn’t interfere in his behalf, with the plea that ‘“Isay I want him to fight, and thathe thinks he must, and so asa matter of prudence he takes weak antagonists.”’ You needn’t say that it is a proof on his part of premature goo -generalsbip, and that the boy is evidently borato be a great commander, I'll commander him ; come here sir, He'll ran away from school, and go frog hunting; and he’ll throw stones at the pigs, and catch geese with fish-hooks baited with corn— he’ll go in swimming where its over his head, and be fished out in a drowning condition by his companions—he’ll domesticate puppies of all varieties in his bed, when he thinks nobody knows it. Ashe grows older he’ll blow bimself up the usual number of times, and get pepered with shot in fleshy places. He’ll accumuate chickens without the consultation of the owners, and with his fellows have ornithological pic-nics in the woods, He’ll make himself sick eating hard boiled eggs on ‘‘Paas’’ day, which eggs he will procure in the usual way from the neighboring barns; he will pay his necturnal attentions to such melons, peaches and other fruit as may grow in his vicinage and be unguarded by canine sentinels, Ofcourse he’ll do all these, and [ suppose I shall have to thraeh him for his exploite, much against my own sense ef propriety—for really 1 don't object so much to all these things, so long as a bo owns up and tells the truth about it; but I shall have to thrash him in obedience te the old traditions which say that for these and multitudinous other offences shall a boy be belted. I may be able to emancipate myself from these eh in the course of time, if 86, no one will hail my liberation from thraldom with greater joy than myself—exeept perhaps, my bs Don’t you interfere, Mrs. K.J. Doesticke ; you attend to those girls of yours, the eldest of whom willl be sixteen in about twenty yeurs from this present—but don’t bother your head about my beys. And 1 give you my solemn word, Mrs. Doesticks, that I will not have my offspring cerrupted by study, and that if that boy of mine knows ove of his letters before he iseight years old, or can spell his name, or can tell whether or not a centinent is something to eat, or can assert positively that an archipelgo is nota new game; if he presumes to know wherein a multiplication table differs from a sideboard; if he is qualified to give any information on the subject of Trey weight or long measure; or if. at that tender age he has ever learned a Sunday School lesson, or listened to a sermon, you andI will have a serious quarrel, for any such information will have been acquired by stealth, and against my express command to the contrary. But if, at that peried of his life, he swears, or lies, or chews tobacco, you may call me an imposter, and henceforth let me be to thee as a heathen man. And again, if, when that boy is eight igh old, he can’t swim, and ride, and jump his length, and steer a beat; if he can’t play ball, and fly a kite and manage any sort of a game as well as the best of his companions if he isn’t to be trusted alone to goa fishing, and ifhe can’t make a good fight with any youngster of his own age and wetght, you may pick me to death with darning needles.

TOZER’S CARD to the afflicted of California, In approaching any new course of systematic inquiry, there are certain points concerning which the inquirer should always be careful to satisfy himelf He should comprehend distinctly what the subject of inquiry is—Health and Diseases. If we can form and fix in our minds a clear conception of the state of Health, we shall have no difficulty in understanding what was meant by Disease. But beyond, though not above, these objects of investigation of the human body, we have another and stillnoblerend. It is to lay before you in such plain terms that you cannot be mistaken and will know where to apply for relief. T use the word ‘disease’ generally, and before I speak of the signs of particular diseases, it will be proper to take a general view of symptoms, When a person is troubled or afflicted with disease, which causes a weakness of the back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart, irritability, nervousness, dyspepsia, derangement of the digestive functions, general debility, symptoms of consumption, and many others which are better explained than put on paper, and reqane Medical or Surgical attendance, it would be well for hem to inquire ifthere isa physician who is competent to attend them, and who understands the application of medicine, and whose Scientific Attainments in his rofession, and whose age and experience entitle him to your confidence, Considering these things, Dr. Chas. H. Tozer has concluded to inform you that are afflicted, advertisi his place of business, stating that he has been a successf\ practitioner for over twenty-five years, and has Attended and Cured Hun when they have been considered by other physicians and have been pronounced by them past recovery.

Consultations, by letter or otherwise, free. address DR. L. J. CZAPKAY, San Francisco, Cal. 0 THE AFFLICTED.—DR. L. J. CZAPKAY, is daily in the habit of relieving at his Institute those unfortunate enough to be afflicted with all the forms of rivate diseases, such as Syphilis, Gonorrheea, Nocturnal imissions, and all the consequences of Self-abuse. In the first stages ef Syphilitic or Gonorrheeal diseases, he guar. antees a cure in a few days, without inconvenience to the patient or hindrance to his business. When a patient, b; neglect or improper treatment, has developed the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as buboes or painful swellings fa the groins, or ulcers in the throat and nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to mortify, separate and come away, leaving the sufferer an object hideous to behold; or when blotches and pimples break out upon the skin, or when he has painful swellings upon the bones, or when his constitution is injured so as to predis to consumption or other constitutional disease, the tor guarantees a cure or asks no compensation. In VK HEUMATISM, chronic or acute; in DYSENTERY or DIARRHGA, he has safe and effectual remedies. For the treatment of the consequnces of self-abuse, such as nocturnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, headache, pain in the back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of memory, injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike of society, and a feeling of weariness of life ; with the nervous system so excitable that slight noises shock or startle the patient, making his existance miserable. For the above maladies the Doctor will guarantee a cure or ask no compensation, He can be consulted free of charge, and invites all to call, as it will cost them nothing, and be much to their advantage, Office hours from 9a. M. toOP. M. Syphilis and Gonorrheea.—Dr. L. J. Czapkay’s extraordinary success in the treatment of Syphilitic and Gonorrheeal diseases in the primary and other stages, induces him to call public attention to the fact that of the great numbers who have made daily application to him, there is not one who has not been effectually and permanently cured. In recent cases of Syphilis or Gonorrheea, the Dr. guarantees a perfect cure in a few days without hindrance to business, or other inconvenience, The Doctor’s method of treatment of these maladies, combines the improvements made by the medical faculty, with discoveries of his own that are unknown to any one else, and which, when applied, prevent the rage of ovil after consequences. Secondary Syphilis, which is so destructive of health, producing ulcerations of the throat, destroying the soft parts, and leaving the bones exposed, which mortify, separate and come away disfiguring the patients face most horribly, as well as impairing his general health, and predisposing to consumption, the Dr. treats in the most cer tain and efficient manner. Also Buboes, painful swellings = the bones, disfiguring Blotches on the skin, sores, pimples and all other consequences of Syphilitic or Gonorrboeal diseases, he guarantees a cure, or asks no compensation, The Dr. would especially call the attention of those who have failed to obtain relief from others, many of whom he has already cured, and many are still under treatment. The Dr. makes no charge for consultation, and invites all to call at his Institute, and he will give them such satisfaction they can obtain nowhere else. Those at a distance, by writing to the Doctor, can have their cases promptly attended to, Remarkable Instance of Medical Relief. aay” Below we publish the certificates of two of the sufferers from the pangs of disease, who, having recovered their former health, and impelled by gratitude, make known their cases and remedial agent, and their statements are authenticated by a Notary Public. The demands of societf imperiously command their publicity, and we commend their perusal to the attention of all aMicted: [CERTIFICATE. ] The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who may be unfortunate mou to be similarly afflicted, where a rermaent relief of their sufferings may be obtained, feels t his duty to thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude to Dr. L. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery of his health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practice of uncontrolable passion in youth; depressed in body and mind; unable to perform even the most trifling duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life, I sought the advice of many physicians, who at first regarded my disease as of trifling importance—but alas! after a few weeks, ana in several instances months, of their treatment, 1 found to my unutterable horror, that instead of relief, my symptoms became more alarming in their torture; and, being told by one that my disease, being principally confined to the brain, medicines would be of little consequence, I despaired of ever regaining my health, strength, and energy; and, asa last resort, and with but faint hope, called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after oxamining my case, prescribed some medicine which almost instantly relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encouraged by this result, I resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and by a strict obedience to all his directions and advice, 8 heed became clear, my ideas collected, the constant pain in my back ait’ groins, the weakness in my limbs, the nervous reaction of my whole body on the slightest alarm or excitement, the misanthropy and evil forbodings, the self-distrust and want of confidence in others, the inability to study and want of resolution, the frightful, exciting and at times pleasurable dreams at night, followed by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared; and in fact, in two months after having consulted the Doctor, I felt as if inspired by a new life— that life which, but a short time ago, 1 contemplated to end by iny own hand, With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snares of incompetent quacks, I deem it my duty to offer this testimony to the merit and skill of Dr. Czarkay, and recommend him to all who may stand in need of medical advice, being assured by my own experience, that once under his care a radical and permanent cure will be effected.

C AR D.—Prompted by an honest desire of my heart, I wish to lay before the public a case which deserves a bigh commendation, not only as an act of scientitle skill, but that of humanity also. About two years ago I suddenly, and from causes unknown to me, was seized with a fit of EPILEPSY, which, owing to my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon a thorough medical treatiment, and the discouragement which I met with on attempting it, soon became such (as I was then led to believe) as to defy the skill of any physician. I was frequently while in the pursuit of my calling, thrown down to the ground, without the slightest warning; and although insensible to the agonies, I yet despised the miseries of my life, and soon learned to look upon those who would render assistance, or shelter me trom danger, as enemies who sought to prolong the existence of my miseries. Vhile in this state, and having previous to my affliction tasted the sweets of life, I once more was induced to attempt Pema tase of a physician, and, by recommendation, called upon Dr. L. J. Ozapxay. I told him my cireumstances, and of my inability to reward him for his services; regardless of which, however, he at once undertook my case, and with the blessing of God, I was once more restored to perfect health. Unable to reward him for the boon which I enjoy at present, and yet conscious of my indebtedness, I consider it due to myself and to all afflicted, to make the case public, in order that those in need of medical advice may find a physician in whom every confidence can be bn Meyer Yastonsxy.

The indulgence in secret practices is the most certain, though not always the most immediate and direct avenue to destruction. Physicians of allages have been most unanimously of opinion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakons the system more than the abstraction of forty ounces of blood, One of the first writers on medical jurisprudence state that three fourths of the insane owe their malady to such abuse, How important then, it is—for every one, having the least cause to suspect any trouble in that way, to attend to it immediately; even one single occurrence should be sufficient to cause doubt, and much more so if the person had ever indu' in the soul-killing habit. The treatment used by the justly celebrated DR. J. C.

J.C, YOUNG’S Private Medical Office—To the Afflicted—In this age of proprogress when science is almost miraculous, everything in common place is looked upon as not worth notice. In view of this fact, Dr. Young, (corner of Montgomery and California streets, up stairs,) has concluded to leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians, (that of waiting for the public to fnd you alone,) and publish to the world as much as may be, his knowledge of the healing art, to let those are in need of assistance know where they can find relief without belng imposed upon, In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say, that for the past ten yesrs he has pursued the practice of medicine in one of the largest cities in the United States, with the highest success, and that his standing as a physician is without reproach, having at one time been a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania on venreal diseases. Upon these considerations, Dr® Young has confidence in introducing himself to the publie, knowing that they will sustain well earned merit. The mown are a few of the many testimonials which haveappeared in the public journals within the last few years: (From the Boston Medical Journal.] Although we are opposed to the system of advertising, for good and sufficient reasons, still we deem it but justice to say that Dr, Young is one of the most industrious and indefatiguable votaries of medical science in the United States.

[From the Whig and -Advertiser.} All afflicted with private complaints should if possible, consult Dr, Young, whose medical education is not surpassed by any Physician in the Country. In his skill, honor and integrity, all may rely with safety, while most of the medical practitioners in this city are without honesty or respectability, their pretensions being grounded in ignorauce and assumption, Important to Miners, Travelers, &c. here is vo malady of deeper importance, either ina medical or moral polut of view, to which the human family is more liable, than that arising from: impure connections, As a medical man it is the duty of every physician to look at disease as it affects health and life, and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Human nature at best is but frail, all are liable to misfortune. Of all the ills that affect man, none are more terrible than those ofa private nature. Dreadful as it isin the — who contracts it, frightful as areats ravages upon 1is constitution, ending frequently in destruction anda loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater importance when it is transmitted to to innocent offspring. Such being the case, how necessary it becomes that every one having the least reason to fear that every one having the least reason to fear that they have contracted the disease, should attend to it at once by consulting some physician whose respectability and education enables him to warrant a safe, speedy, and permanent cure. In accordance with this necessity, DR.

MPORTANT TO FEMALES.—WHEN A female is in trouble or affiicted with disease, and requires medical or surgical aid, the inquiry should be where is there a physician who is fully competent to administer relief, one whose knowledge of the female system is perfect, and who thoroughly understands the application of medicine to disease, and whose scientific attainments in surgery have made him pre-eminentin his profession, and whose respectable standing in society, recommends him to the confidence of the community. Unless these, and many more questions can be satisfactorily answered, the afflicted should pause before consulting any one. Considering these things in their true light, the celebrated J. C. YOUNG, corner of Montgomery and California streets, has concluded to advertise his place of business to the public, stating that he has been a professor of obstetrics and female diseases for the last fourteen years, and is fully qualified to administer in all diseases, both medically and surgically, not in a superficial manner, but in as thorough a manner as years of study and practice—both in hospitals and private families, can make : therefore, families can rely upon himasa father. Allin affliction can findin him one who can sympathize with, and befriend them in trouble, one in whose secrecy the utmost confidence can be placed. Come all ye that are afflicted and in trouble, and you will be relieved or cured. Apartments privately ararranged so as to preclude the possibility of exposure. N.

YOUNG addresses those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgences in that secret and solitary habit, which ruins the body and mind, unfitting them for either business or society. The following are some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by the early habit of youth, viz : Weakness of the back and limbs, pain in the head, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability, symptoms of consumption &e. MENTALLY, the fearful effects on the mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil gee aversion of society, selfdistrust, love of solitude, timidity, &c., are some of the evils produced. All persons who are afflicted with any of the above symptoms should not fail to call on Dr. Young and be at once restored to perfect health. Let no false delicacy prevent you, but apply immediately, and save yourself from the dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible malady.— Weakness of the organs immeeiately cured, and full vigor restored, DR. J. C. YOUNG, Corner of California and Montgomery sts. up stairs. AVE CONFIDENCE.—Dr. YOUNG will , guarantee a perfect and permanent cure in the following cases, or charge nothing for his services: Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Strictures of the Uretha, affection of the Prostrate Gland, Weakness of the Genital Organs, Impotency, Steriliy, both in male and female, Spermatoria, or Sen:inal eakness, Nocturnal Emissions, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Fever and Ague, Incipient Consumption, and all irregularities in females; together with all diseases of Women and Children; also Nervousness, Palpitation of the &e., &e. Persons affected with symptoms after treated. should consult Dr. Young at once, as no disease is cured unless the patient feels perfectly well. If there is a particle of disease left in the system, it will break out at some future time, when least expected, or be handed down to the innocent offspring. Persons who have been treated with mercury should be very cautious in believing that they are well, for it is a scientific fact that the mercury will mingle with the venereal, and forma disease a great worse than the original. All those who have reason to think, by bad feelings, that they have thus been treated should consult Dr. Youne, and he willexamime their caces . and tell them at once how they stand, paper printed in Nevada City and County, and state afore. said, fur the period of three successive months.

Se Doesticks on the Boy Question. Children are, I believe, indigenous to the State of Matrimony, which is « domiuion of so great an extent that its products may be said to grow spontaneously over pretty much all the world. There are but two sorts of children under the sun, decent children and mean children. All children are decent by nature, and on) mean by education, When the Lord sends children to a man, he doesn’t intend that man to eorrupt those children into juvenile christians, who are always scoundrels in after life; but he means to have him bring up those children as human sinners until they are old enough to see for themselves what the world is made of, and to shape their course for the Heaven on the other side of it. For there never was a man yet who thoroughly Lelieved ina Heaven, who dida’t try kind of authority for the belief that no man ever tried to get there and failed, Neo man ever got to the door of Paradise that he didn’t find the latch-string on the outside. and a hearty welcome within, The path thither may be narrow, but no sinner ever yet found it elesed against him and marked “No Thoroughfare.”” That man however, who attempts to start his children in the road and tries to flog them through at 2.40 moral speed, without any rest for worldly antics, will find them perpetually making & turns from the main road ont tting wofully tangled upin the brushpe ungodliness which borders on both sides ef it; whereas, if he’d give them a play11 now and thea, with a chance to work off their juvenile steam, and cut up their regular allowance of devilment, they’d sober down into a steady gait after a while and locomote straight along in the right direction. A child is normally in a condition of monkeyshinism, and when it isn’t engaged in some kiud of frelic, it is out of condition, and is either sick or asleep. I object to pious children, for they only illustrate the besotted ignorance and authoritative depravity of their parents. Pity the boy under the age of a dozen peer, who pretends to like antes School, for if he’s a decent boy he doesn’t like it, and despises himself for a liar every time heis dragooned by bis parents into saying that he does, and if he’s a mean boy, he only likes it for the sake of getting the prizes at the end of the year, for learning the greatest number of verses. The boy, who, during a long sermon, makes pictures of elephants and grim school-masters in the prayer book ; or extemporizes out of the foot stool turned bottom up, an imaginary ship with four masts, ene at each corner, and navigates that original craft with his feet all about his end of the pew; or who pinches his sister, and then pretends it wasn’t he, is a human boy anda decent boy; and if, in addition to the aformentioned pranks, I see him throwing sly spit-balls at the sleepy deacon in the next slip, 1 immediately conceive an immense respect for that boy, and want to instruct him in the art of kite-making, and in the art of chestnut-wood whistles. Who doesn’t have a regard for the high sing who puts Robiason Crusoe inside his prayer book, and peruses that interesting narrative instead of seating the responses? Whe thinks that a child of six years old is cable of breaking the Sabbath? Why, nobody Bat a stultified moral ass. The sacred day is not of such fragile material as to be fractured by the efforts of children, and I think it would withstand the shock, eveniftheir father should be morally independent enough to join in their me of hide-and-seek, or impart a little practieal instruction in the apppropriate diversion of leap-frog. When I am informed that a certain man is too pious to let his childron have their romps on Sunday, I look very sharp at that man’s weights and measures, in any week-day dealings with men. All “proper” persons, who never do anything on Sunday but go te meeting and read beoks, are fearfully bored by their starched-up morality, and only get through the day with tolerable pepelranee of propriety, by having a dinner at the end of it, of such super-extra quality that it pea them all day in a state of delightful anticipation. Yeur A. 1. religioniet who is tou good to take a walk in the woods on that day, is sure te surfeit himself at dinner-time, and go to slecp immediately after, in a state unctuous grace, And the child of that pattern-man has not even the satisfaction of stuffing himself as full as his reted parent, being generally admonished, when making a timid request for a second helping of pyitise, not to ‘make a little pig of himself.” And if that tortured child slips into the back yard and fires stones through the neighbors’ cucumber frames, and is caught at it and soundly whipped by his father, who is awakened from his postprandial nap for that purpose, and is therefore ten times more severe than usual, I fully believe that that boy is an injured member of society; and it gratifies me, as a lover of abstract right, to believe that the Christian parent will get that thrashing all back opis with the compoundest kind of interest when he is brought up to the shop where they dispense retributive justice, trained up in this reprehensible manner are always mean boys, and if they don’t make mean men, it is because their Creator endowed them with innate manliness of sufficient vitalit to live, and thrive, in spite of all the moral killing down of their earlier years. Lam not acquainted personally with the Adversary, the monarch of the infernal realm, but from my knowledge of bis ascribed attributes, and gene: ral character for shrewdness and perception of human nature, I have no doubt that he considers himself eventually sure of those men who once were the ‘“medel’”’ boys of the Sunday Schools. But if he sees a boy who has an oceasional school-boy fight, and is 44 to a great variety of harum-scarum mischief, he considers his hold upen that young chap as very insecure, and soon comes to regard him as a personal ene . , mind, I don’t mean to speak disrespectfully of religion, or of holy things, or of auything pertaining thereto; no man living basa eater reverence for these things than I ; what say is, that the whole notion of making conventional Christians of children, is humbug, of the most unmitigated stamp. Decent children, while they are children, are the only perfeet Christians of which mortals can have experience. IfGod hadn’t wanted any children in the world, he wouldn’t have made any, and to attempt to convert his little ones into premature proper men and precocious pattern women is to libet the Supreme Intelligence. The boy, who, for the first time in his life, steals apples commits a larceny, ifthe apples are very good, and a mean man owns them ; but the decent boy will divide the spoil with all hie fellows, and gens pry! get “told of bya mode] scholar, and on being asked about it, will own up, take his thrashing like a man, promise not to do so again, and will keep his . ger } mean boys asa general rule, havn’t ¢ pluck to climb a fence, and are afraid of dogs, butif amean boy did muster up courage to help himself to fruit, he’d lie himself out of the scrape, hide away his apples, and munch them in selfish solitude. But after all, beys and girls are but a degeneration of children; viciousness grows with ttature, and sin comes with years, so I’ll go back te the children, where I started from; in this ye letter I mean ; though if there wasa antain of Youth convenient, and the price for a bath came within the limit of my slender means, possibly I’d take a dip and emerge a bare-footed brat with a dirty face, and a stubbed toe, with a fortune of five marbles and a the obild who saves his money is a most objectionable child, though many are swindled out of their few pennies by their judicious and correct parents, and are induced to put it in money-boxes to give to the heathen, through the medium of some Tract Society or similar detestble against the honest public. Mr. Porter, the iladelphia defaulter, the pious Beere tary of the American Sunday School chilones United States out of $87,000, which they bed contributed fer the heathen, has given . to get there, and we have the tallest . y the world an illustration of what becomes of the money. Bur su e that the heathen got the money, which they don’t, I object to the whole system. In the first place, it perverts the minds ef the children who are coaxed to give the money— when a child, in anxious doubt as to the disposition of a sixpenny donation from some generous friend, is set upon by the parental eolicitations to give it to the “poor heathen,’’ of course that child gives it to the begging demand, but the after reflections on the quantities of lollepops and “taffy” purcbasable with the sixpence, will inevitably engender iu the mind of that child the bitterest hatred of all sorts of heathen including possibly those who take their breakfast at the same table with himself. Children, are in this respect, like men; you can’t drive them into Heaven half so easily as ou might coax them into the other place ; and the attempt to curb the wayward tempers aad moods of a light-hearted child; to make him grave and serious in deportment ; to make him speak by rote, and walk by the dancing master’s rule; to®queeze all the naturalness and gayety out of his little body by making hima mode] child, is about as reasonable as to try to harness a butterfly to a dray and expect to make him earn his living by turnpike traction. If the Cag-Mag Cannibals of the Foo-Foo Islands are only convinced of their gastronomic errors, and convicted of their gustatory sins, by receiving the pennies of my poy then ma: the barbarian Cag-Mags goto their heatheni death-beds without the slightest attention to their bills of fare. A rattle-box is werth more to my child than a million cannibals; adollisof infinitely more importance than all the heathen that ever stewed each other, or anybody else; and if a child of five years was offered a pack of fire-creckers for his immediate delectation, er the certainty of eelestial happiness if he would give them to the Foreign Mission cause, he would of course, if he was a decent child, take the explosives, and trust to luck for his propertion of Paradisaic joys in futuro; he would enjoy his fire-works now, and run the risk of any retributive pyrotechnics on “the otherside of Jordan.” If he wasa mean child he woula make the donation to the ‘Cause’ in order that he might, for the rest of his life, go on swindling mankind with impunity. But I spake just now of my a ow I’ve got no boy, but of course I shal] have a boy sometime. And if I ty that boy was going to be an infant man, I would ask his pardon for the liberty, and pinch his head off before he had lived to the ripe age of an hour and a half. But he won’t, of course he won't; he’d better not ; just let me catch ree putting on any airs, you vagabond, and I’ll give you the soundest flogging you ever bad. He’ll kick when I awiteh him. but I’ll switeh the kick out of him, if he don’t mind his eye. .He’ll break things about the house, and he’ll probably put rats in the soup, and shut up cats in the piano—he’!l tear his clothes sliding dowa hill, and he’!l get through the iee when he goes on skativg parties, and be brought home ina very limp condition, Let me see, shall thrash him for going on the weak ice, when his mother told him not to? Very respectable woman, his mother; very nice woman indeed, very nice woman, but don’t understand boys. Of course. he went in the thin places, and of course he got in; his mother shouldn’t tell him not to go in dangerous places, for of course, if he’s anything of a boy, he’ll go whether he bas been forbidden or not; and if she dido’t forbid him, he’d be spared the disobedience, No, I won’t whip him for that. He’ll come home with black eyes and scratches on his face, from fighting. Well, his mother told him not to fight, but I don't think she ever was a boy—a wholesome fight now and then isa capital thing for him, and by Jove I wen’t stop his fighting, unless he gets to bea bully and pitches into little boys who don’t have a fair chance with him. Come here, you cowardly little wretch, come here, till I belt you; and you, Keziah Jane, you neevdn’t interfere in his behalf, with the plea that ‘“Isay I want him to fight, and thathe thinks he must, and so asa matter of prudence he takes weak antagonists.”’ You needn’t say that it is a proof on his part of premature goo -generalsbip, and that the boy is evidently borato be a great commander, I'll commander him ; come here sir, He'll ran away from school, and go frog hunting; and he’ll throw stones at the pigs, and catch geese with fish-hooks baited with corn— he’ll go in swimming where its over his head, and be fished out in a drowning condition by his companions—he’ll domesticate puppies of all varieties in his bed, when he thinks nobody knows it. Ashe grows older he’ll blow bimself up the usual number of times, and get pepered with shot in fleshy places. He’ll accumuate chickens without the consultation of the owners, and with his fellows have ornithological pic-nics in the woods, He’ll make himself sick eating hard boiled eggs on ‘‘Paas’’ day, which eggs he will procure in the usual way from the neighboring barns; he will pay his necturnal attentions to such melons, peaches and other fruit as may grow in his vicinage and be unguarded by canine sentinels, Ofcourse he’ll do all these, and [ suppose I shall have to thraeh him for his exploite, much against my own sense ef propriety—for really 1 don't object so much to all these things, so long as a bo owns up and tells the truth about it; but I shall have to thrash him in obedience te the old traditions which say that for these and multitudinous other offences shall a boy be belted. I may be able to emancipate myself from these eh in the course of time, if 86, no one will hail my liberation from thraldom with greater joy than myself—exeept perhaps, my bs Don’t you interfere, Mrs. K.J. Doesticke ; you attend to those girls of yours, the eldest of whom willl be sixteen in about twenty yeurs from this present—but don’t bother your head about my beys. And 1 give you my solemn word, Mrs. Doesticks, that I will not have my offspring cerrupted by study, and that if that boy of mine knows ove of his letters before he iseight years old, or can spell his name, or can tell whether or not a centinent is something to eat, or can assert positively that an archipelgo is nota new game; if he presumes to know wherein a multiplication table differs from a sideboard; if he is qualified to give any information on the subject of Trey weight or long measure; or if. at that tender age he has ever learned a Sunday School lesson, or listened to a sermon, you andI will have a serious quarrel, for any such information will have been acquired by stealth, and against my express command to the contrary. But if, at that peried of his life, he swears, or lies, or chews tobacco, you may call me an imposter, and henceforth let me be to thee as a heathen man. And again, if, when that boy is eight igh old, he can’t swim, and ride, and jump his length, and steer a beat; if he can’t play ball, and fly a kite and manage any sort of a game as well as the best of his companions if he isn’t to be trusted alone to goa fishing, and ifhe can’t make a good fight with any youngster of his own age and wetght, you may pick me to death with darning needles.

TOZER’S CARD to the afflicted of California, In approaching any new course of systematic inquiry, there are certain points concerning which the inquirer should always be careful to satisfy himelf He should comprehend distinctly what the subject of inquiry is—Health and Diseases. If we can form and fix in our minds a clear conception of the state of Health, we shall have no difficulty in understanding what was meant by Disease. But beyond, though not above, these objects of investigation of the human body, we have another and stillnoblerend. It is to lay before you in such plain terms that you cannot be mistaken and will know where to apply for relief. T use the word ‘disease’ generally, and before I speak of the signs of particular diseases, it will be proper to take a general view of symptoms, When a person is troubled or afflicted with disease, which causes a weakness of the back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart, irritability, nervousness, dyspepsia, derangement of the digestive functions, general debility, symptoms of consumption, and many others which are better explained than put on paper, and reqane Medical or Surgical attendance, it would be well for hem to inquire ifthere isa physician who is competent to attend them, and who understands the application of medicine, and whose Scientific Attainments in his rofession, and whose age and experience entitle him to your confidence, Considering these things, Dr. Chas. H. Tozer has concluded to inform you that are afflicted, advertisi his place of business, stating that he has been a successf\ practitioner for over twenty-five years, and has Attended and Cured Hun when they have been considered by other physicians and have been pronounced by them past recovery. Therefore you may rely upon him as one in whom secresy and the utmost confidence can be placed. Dr, C. H. T. would invite all that are afflicted to call on him and if he does not administer for them there will be no charge made. Let no false a prevent you, but apply beamed and save yourself from the dreadful consequences which must follow those who neglect to receive attendance, Dr. C. H.

Consultations, by letter or otherwise, free. address DR. L. J. CZAPKAY, San Francisco, Cal. 0 THE AFFLICTED.—DR. L. J. CZAPKAY, is daily in the habit of relieving at his Institute those unfortunate enough to be afflicted with all the forms of rivate diseases, such as Syphilis, Gonorrheea, Nocturnal imissions, and all the consequences of Self-abuse. In the first stages ef Syphilitic or Gonorrheeal diseases, he guar. antees a cure in a few days, without inconvenience to the patient or hindrance to his business. When a patient, b; neglect or improper treatment, has developed the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as buboes or painful swellings fa the groins, or ulcers in the throat and nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to mortify, separate and come away, leaving the sufferer an object hideous to behold; or when blotches and pimples break out upon the skin, or when he has painful swellings upon the bones, or when his constitution is injured so as to predis to consumption or other constitutional disease, the tor guarantees a cure or asks no compensation. In VK HEUMATISM, chronic or acute; in DYSENTERY or DIARRHGA, he has safe and effectual remedies. For the treatment of the consequnces of self-abuse, such as nocturnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, headache, pain in the back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of memory, injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike of society, and a feeling of weariness of life ; with the nervous system so excitable that slight noises shock or startle the patient, making his existance miserable. For the above maladies the Doctor will guarantee a cure or ask no compensation, He can be consulted free of charge, and invites all to call, as it will cost them nothing, and be much to their advantage, Office hours from 9a. M. toOP. M. Syphilis and Gonorrheea.—Dr. L. J. Czapkay’s extraordinary success in the treatment of Syphilitic and Gonorrheeal diseases in the primary and other stages, induces him to call public attention to the fact that of the great numbers who have made daily application to him, there is not one who has not been effectually and permanently cured. In recent cases of Syphilis or Gonorrheea, the Dr. guarantees a perfect cure in a few days without hindrance to business, or other inconvenience, The Doctor’s method of treatment of these maladies, combines the improvements made by the medical faculty, with discoveries of his own that are unknown to any one else, and which, when applied, prevent the rage of ovil after consequences. Secondary Syphilis, which is so destructive of health, producing ulcerations of the throat, destroying the soft parts, and leaving the bones exposed, which mortify, separate and come away disfiguring the patients face most horribly, as well as impairing his general health, and predisposing to consumption, the Dr. treats in the most cer tain and efficient manner. Also Buboes, painful swellings = the bones, disfiguring Blotches on the skin, sores, pimples and all other consequences of Syphilitic or Gonorrboeal diseases, he guarantees a cure, or asks no compensation, The Dr. would especially call the attention of those who have failed to obtain relief from others, many of whom he has already cured, and many are still under treatment. The Dr. makes no charge for consultation, and invites all to call at his Institute, and he will give them such satisfaction they can obtain nowhere else. Those at a distance, by writing to the Doctor, can have their cases promptly

The demands of societf imperiously command their publicity, and we commend their perusal to the attention of all aMicted: [CERTIFICATE. ] The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who may be unfortunate mou to be similarly afflicted, where a rermaent relief of their sufferings may be obtained, feels t his duty to thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude to Dr. L. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery of his health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practice of uncontrolable passion in youth; depressed in body and mind; unable to perform even the most trifling duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life, I sought the advice of many physicians, who at first regarded my disease as of trifling importance—but alas! after a few weeks, ana in several instances months, of their treatment, 1 found to my unutterable horror, that instead of relief, my symptoms became more alarming in their torture; and, being told by one that my disease, being principally confined to the brain, medicines would be of little consequence, I despaired of ever regaining my health, strength, and energy; and, asa last resort, and with but faint hope, called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after oxamining my case, prescribed some medicine which almost instantly relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encouraged by this result, I resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and by a strict obedience to all his directions and advice, 8 heed became clear, my ideas collected, the constant pain in my back ait’ groins, the weakness in my limbs, the nervous reaction of my whole body on the slightest alarm or excitement, the misanthropy and evil forbodings, the self-distrust and want of confidence in others, the inability to study and want of resolution, the frightful, exciting and at times pleasurable dreams at night, followed by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared; and in fact, in two months after having consulted the Doctor, I felt as if inspired by a new life— that life which, but a short time ago, 1 contemplated to end by iny own hand, With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snares of incompetent quacks, I deem it my duty to offer this testimony to the merit and skill of Dr. Czarkay, and recommend him to all who may stand in need of medical advice, being assured by my own experience, that once under his care a radical and permanent cure will be effected.

C AR D.—Prompted by an honest desire of my heart, I wish to lay before the public a case which deserves a bigh commendation, not only as an act of scientitle skill, but that of humanity also. About two years ago I suddenly, and from causes unknown to me, was seized with a fit of EPILEPSY, which, owing to my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon a thorough medical treatiment, and the discouragement which I met with on attempting it, soon became such (as I was then led to believe) as to defy the skill of any physician. I was frequently while in the pursuit of my calling, thrown down to the ground, without the slightest warning; and although insensible to the agonies, I yet despised the miseries of my life, and soon learned to look upon those who would render assistance, or shelter me trom danger, as enemies who sought to prolong the existence of my miseries. Vhile in this state, and having previous to my affliction tasted the sweets of life, I once more was induced to attempt Pema tase of a physician, and, by recommendation, called upon Dr. L. J. Ozapxay. I told him my cireumstances, and of my inability to reward him for his services; regardless of which, however, he at once undertook my case, and with the blessing of God, I was once more restored to perfect health. Unable to reward him for the boon which I enjoy at present, and yet conscious of my indebtedness, I consider it due to myself and to all afflicted, to make the case public, in order that those in need of medical advice may find a physician in whom every confidence can be bn Meyer Yastonsxy.

Shall Nature, swerving from her earliest dictate, Self-preservation, fall by its own act? Forbid it Heaven. The indulgence in secret practices is the most certain, though not always the most immediate and direct avenue to destruction. Physicians of allages have been most unanimously of opinion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakons the system more than the abstraction of forty ounces of blood, One of the first writers on medical jurisprudence state that three fourths of the insane owe their malady to such abuse, How important then, it is—for every one, having the least cause to suspect any trouble in that way, to attend to it immediately; even one single occurrence should be sufficient to cause doubt, and much more so if the person had ever indu' in the soul-killing habit. The treatment used by the justly celebrated DR. J. C. YOUNG, in cases of seminal weakness, impotency, sterility, nervous debility and paralysis, (the last is the most dangerous and when it once occurs, incurable,) is not surpassed by any hysician in the country. It is the same as that follos ed by him for years, under the guidance of the world-renowned Record of Paris, and Acton of London.

J.C, YOUNG’S Private Medical Office—To the Afflicted—In this age of proprogress when science is almost miraculous, everything in common place is looked upon as not worth notice. In view of this fact, Dr. Young, (corner of Montgomery and California streets, up stairs,) has concluded to leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians, (that of waiting for the public to fnd you alone,) and publish to the world as much as may be, his knowledge of the healing art, to let those are in need of assistance know where they can find relief without belng imposed upon, In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say, that for the past ten yesrs he has pursued the practice of medicine in one of the largest cities in the United States, with the highest success, and that his standing as a physician is without reproach, having at one time been a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania on venreal diseases. Upon these considerations, Dr® Young has confidence in introducing himself to the publie, knowing that they will sustain well earned merit. The mown are a few of the many testimonials which haveappeared in the public journals within the last few years: (From the Boston Medical Journal.] Although we are opposed to the system of advertising, for good and sufficient reasons, still we deem it but justice to say that Dr, Young is one of the most industrious and indefatiguable votaries of medical science in the United States.

In his skill, honor and integrity, all may rely with safety, while most of the medical practitioners in this city are without honesty or respectability, their pretensions being grounded in ignorauce and assumption, Important to Miners, Travelers, &c. here is vo malady of deeper importance, either ina medical or moral polut of view, to which the human family is more liable, than that arising from: impure connections, As a medical man it is the duty of every physician to look at disease as it affects health and life, and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Human nature at best is but frail, all are liable to misfortune. Of all the ills that affect man, none are more terrible than those ofa private nature.

MPORTANT TO FEMALES.—WHEN A female is in trouble or affiicted with disease, and requires medical or surgical aid, the inquiry should be where is there a physician who is fully competent to administer relief, one whose knowledge of the female system is perfect, and who thoroughly understands the application of medicine to disease, and whose scientific attainments in surgery have made him pre-eminentin his profession, and whose respectable standing in society, recommends him to the confidence of the community. Unless these, and many more questions can be satisfactorily answered, the afflicted should pause before consulting any one. Considering these things in their true light, the celebrated J. C. YOUNG, corner of Montgomery and California streets, has concluded to advertise his place of business to the public, stating that he has been a professor of obstetrics and female diseases for the last fourteen years, and is fully qualified to administer in all diseases, both medically and surgically, not in a superficial manner, but in as thorough a manner as years of study and practice—both in hospitals and private families, can make : therefore, families can rely upon himasa father.

YOUNG addresses those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgences in that secret and solitary habit, which ruins the body and mind, unfitting them for either business or society. The following are some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by the early habit of youth, viz : Weakness of the back and limbs, pain in the head, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability, symptoms of consumption &e. MENTALLY, the fearful effects on the mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil gee aversion of society, selfdistrust, love of solitude, timidity, &c., are some of the evils produced. All persons who are afflicted with any of the above symptoms should not fail to call on Dr. Young and be at once restored to perfect health. Let no false delicacy prevent you, but apply immediately, and save yourself from the dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible malady.— Weakness of the organs immeeiately cured, and full vigor restored, DR. J. C. YOUNG, Corner of California and Montgomery sts. up stairs. AVE CONFIDENCE.—Dr. YOUNG will , guarantee a perfect and permanent cure in the following cases, or charge nothing for his services: Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Strictures of the Uretha, affection of the Prostrate Gland, Weakness of the Genital Organs, Impotency, Steriliy, both in male and female, Spermatoria, or Sen:inal eakness, Nocturnal Emissions, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Fever and Ague, Incipient Consumption, and all irregularities in females; together with all diseases of Women and Children; also Nervousness, Palpitation of the &e., &e. Persons affected with symptoms after treated. should consult Dr. Young at once, as no disease is cured unless the patient feels perfectly well. If there is a particle of disease left in the system, it will break out at some future time, when least expected, or be handed down to the innocent offspring. Persons who have been treated with mercury should be very cautious in believing that they are well, for it is a scientific fact that the mercury will mingle with the venereal, and forma disease a great worse than the original. All those who have reason to think, by bad feelings, that they have thus been treated should consult Dr. Youne, and he willexamime their caces . and tell them at once how they stand, paper printed in Nevada City and County, and state afore. said, fur the period of three successive months.
