In the mining districts of Mexico, travelers are often entertained with the recital of legends which, although differing in ¢very respect from those wild traditions attached to the ancient feudel decaying castles of Europe, are nevertheless not devoid of interest. It is firmly believed by the Mexican miners that { treasures were hidden during the inv ‘of Cortez, and that the secret of their location, as well as the position of extensive and rich placers, has been handed down from generation to’ generation of the Indian tribes, and that these secrets are known and kept to the present day. The following legend will illustrate these remarks: Long before the Mexican revolution, and whilst the Viceroys of the King of Spain yet satin security on the viceregal throne, there dwelt-in,an Indian village near the Monte Real, a priest whose kindness of heart and strict attention to the duties of his office endeared him to all.ranks and ages of his parishioners, Simle in his habits, and removed by his position ‘om the more onerous conventionalities of society, he passed his daysin tranquility and Ace, Pete was very fond of wating, and the Indians from time to time supplied him with a certain shining dust, which he generally applied to his ink to perform the duty of sand. At length happening to write to an acquaintance in the city of Mexico, his correspondent, in his answer, congratulated the padre on his success, since, as he observed, a man could not but be wealthy who sanded his writing with gold dust, This revelation startled the priest. Every means was employed to induce the Indians to disclose their secret, but all to no effect. One day o deputation of his parishioners waited on the priest padre; said they: ‘*Your children have for some time noticed your extreme restlessness and anxiety—-we love you—we are sorry to see you so suffer in mind and body. Our secrets we cannot reveal to you, but for your sake we are ready tocompromise. Blindfolded we will conduct you to a place where treasures are hidden; you shall be allowed to return with as much as-you can possibly carry, but remember, this is the only time we will break those Cer nitenes ae which only our affection for you indd€ed us to violate for a white man,” The priest consented. Blindfolded and conveyed on the shoulders of Indians, he was carried into a gorge of the mountain, and there ushered intoa cavern. When the bandage was removed from his eyes, he beheld himself surrounded by such countless treasures as at once confounded his senses and dazzled and sickened his imagination, ‘‘Now,'’ said his principal conductof, “load yourself with gold and jewels quickly; we will then re-convey you to our village, and remember that as this is the first, so it will also be the last time we yield to so much weakness.’’ On his return homewards, the Cure contrived to detach the beads from his rosary, and to drop them occasionally in the road. Judge of his chagrin, when, on arriving at his domicile, a young Indian sly gn him nearly his beads, The youth had pieked them up, supposing them to be dropped accidentally, ¢ demon of averice entered into the bosom of the priest. He gave information to the authorities in Mexico—a commission was sent down—art, menace, the denunciations of religion, the cord, the rack, burnings, were resorted to, to induce the people to reveal their seoret, but all to no purpose, The village was depopulated, but the Indians kept their faith, A Fammy Toornprusn.—There was a man at the Mechanic’s Fair last night, says the Bulletin, who undoubtedly deserved the premium for curiosity; he literally reeked with questions, and gave himself no anxiety as to whom they were addressed, If he saw a pound of butter he asked everybody who made Mt; @ portrait, he inquired for whom it was intended, and whether it was considered a good likeness; an engine he wanted to know what were its uses, and if the inventer had as yet produced a patent. Presently, his attention was attracted by a small machine for some porpose or other, but of a very simple construction; by moving a treadle, a circular brush, about three inches in diameter, and half an inch wide, was made rapidly to revelve. Putting it in motion up to extreme of velocity, our here gazed at it, big with curiosity, Then turning to the crowd, he asked if any body could tell him what that was for? “This machine, sir,” said a grave looking old gentleman, standing near, “it is a patent toothbrusb; all you have todo, when you get up in the morning, is to start it by the treadle, w. myone teeth can be most effectually cleaned in half a minute or less, according to the speed with which you operate. In this way, one machine will answer a large family; and four or five will be enough for all the boarders ina large hotel.” Mr. Curiosity returned his thanks for the information, nor did the snicker of the crowd awaken a shade of incredulity, Brive Lirrte Girt.—The other day Ella Seymour, a beautiful little girl, of Downieville, mounted a refractory horse for the pagpore of having her deguerréotype taken on horseback. The animal became restive and started full speed across a dilapidated bridge, scarcely passable for footmen, and everybody thought the child would be killed. But finding t she could not stop the horse, Ella threw her arms around his neck and swung herself from the saddle, ali on her feet in safety, and very little diseoncerted at her narrow escape, Some one caught the horse and Ella re-mounted and had her picture taken. Ella will do to travel the narrow and precipitious trails of Sierra, but we question whether she is permitted to do 50, many years, alone, « ‘ poe ce Which can travel the fastest, heat or cold? ‘old California’? prices 3 Take your places. Subject of to-day’s lesson? Answer—The Young American. Question—Where is this animal found? Answer—In Uppertendom. n—Can it exist in any but its native air Answer—It cannot thrive, except where civilization is overgrown. Question—To what other species is it nearly allied? Answer—The monkey. Question—Which most resembles man? Answer—Some Naturalists place the Young American next to man, but by most it is considered inferior to the monkey. Question—Describe the Young American? Answer—Body andglimbs were slight —head small and very erect, being light—the coat smooth, and glittering in spots with the brilliancy of gold or gems—eyes usually mild and gentle in expression, though when the animal is roused, they are capable of a furious glare, A striking peculiarity is the long fur or hair which with some quite covers the face, with others, all but a narrow space below the eyes. Forehead low—tecth small, sharp and very white F Gueston—Is the Young American dangerous Answer—Sometimes threatening, but seldom dangerous. They retreat at onee when attacked by man, The kind called fortune hunters should, however, be excepted. They are keenscented and cunning, stealthy in pursuit of prey, and cruel to their victims, Question—On whet does the Young American subsist? Answer—On “father’s money’’—a substance well known in U} om. Question—Has the Young American anything like the power of speech? Answer—When irritated it gives utterance to a low sound, like ‘“demd bore,’’ or sometimes “kussed bore,’’ but it is usually quiet. Question—Can this creature be made nseful to man, in any way? Answer—Some attempts to train him for usefulness have been made, but in vain—they have always resulted in the lose of individuality, and have, therefore, been abandoned. Yet it is valued as a pet by ladies, who are often fond of the creature as a companion in their walks, and they even give it a place in their drawing-room —merely a plaything, however, as itis of no use where protection is needed. Still, the Young American fills a place in Uppertendom which no other animal in the knowa world would occupy. ; Question—Then what appears to be the object of its existence, if it cannot be rendered useful? Answer—The object of its existance is yet to be discovered; although, as we are taught that nothing is made in vain, there is doubtless a design in the existence of the Young American. Question—Is the Young American ever confounded with the True American? Answer—Never. The True American is quite a distinct species, and is not found in Uppertendom, Perfect lesson. Knickerbocker. Smarr Practice at Niagara Far.s,— The Niagara Falls Times says that Mr. Webster, of the American hotel, at Niagara city, was formerly a resident of her Britannic Majesty’s province of Canada, but moved suddenly into the United States, leaving his creditors to whistle for $12,000, And that wasn’t all, He was in the habit of visiting Clifton on the Sabbath day, at which time he could not be arrested. Recently, a reward of $2,000was offered to any erson who would place Mr. Webster in the hands of the Canadian authorities. On Sunday last Mr. W. visited Clifton as usual, when a Mr. Peck evinced a great interest in that gentleman’s welfare, by treating him liberally till he became intoxicated, when it was avery easy matter to get up a ‘Me with him, which resulted in a fight and Mr, Webster was arrested for disturbing the peace. Of course the only object of the whole affair was to have him detained until the following morning, when he was again arrested as an absconding debtor. The class may be seated.— De.vusions oF Mapyess,—In the Asylum at Stockton, an Irishman believes himself Daniel O’Connel. Another thinks he is a great English lord, with boundless hereditary possessions and hundreds of dependents, A third believes himself to be Jesus Christ, On other subjects they appear sane enough, and not until the visitor touches the diseased part of the mind, do the eyes and faltering tongue betray the wreck of reason. “Well, Mr, Grizzle,” said his wife, “you needn’t kick round so and wear all the sheets out, if you are dying!” If you want an ignoramus to respect yeu, “(dress to death,” and wear watch seals about the size of a brickbat. a Al ’ LEGAL NOTICES. pT TS — — — ee TATE OF CALIFORNIA, County of NevaDA—ass, In Probate Court—In the matter of the Estate of JOHN RAMUS Deceased, Notice is hereby given to all whom it may concern thata Will purporting to be the last Will and testament of John Ramus deceased, has come into the possession of the Probate Court of the County ¢t >evada and State of California, And also a petition for Letters Testamentary upon the Estate of said deceased, Also Letters of Guardiauship of Mary A.

DR. T’s reputation as a Physician, stands unequaled:— His exclusive attention to DISEASES OF THE GENITO URINARY ORGANS for so many years, renders him perfect master of SYPHILIITIC DISEASES, The laage nnmber of aggravated cases that he has perfectly cured after they have be®™ given up by many others, is the only proof that a physician requires of his ability.

TOZER’S CARD to the afflicted of Cali fornia, 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 stillnobler end. It is to lay before you in such plain terms that you cannot be mistaken and will know where to apply for relief, I 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, sd derangement of the digestive functions, general debility, symptoms of consumption, and many others which are better explained than puton paper, and require Medical or Surgical attendance, it would be well for them to inquire ifthere isa physician who is competent to attend them, and who understands the application of medicine, and whose Scientific Attainments in his profession, 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, advertising his place of business, Salen that he has been a successful practitioner for over twenty-five years, and has Attended and Cured Hundreds, 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 confidenee 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 delicacy prevent you, but apply immediately, and save yourself from the dreadful consequences which must follow those who neglect to receive attendance, Dr. C, H. Tozer’s office is on 6th street, near the Belvidere Hotel; between J and K streets.

Is there an hereafter, And that there is, conscience uninfluenced, ier suffered to speak out, tells every man,) Then it is an awful thing to die, More horrid yet to die by one’s own hand. Self-murderer—name it not ! : 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 all ages have been most unanimously of opinion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens 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 importantant then, it is—for every one, having the least cause to suspect any trouble in that way, toattend to it immediately; even one single occurrence should be suffi. cient to cause doubt, and much more so if the person had ever indulged 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 physician in the country. It is the same as that followed by him for years, under the guidance of the world-renowned Record of Paris, and Acton of London.

In view of this fact, Dr. Young, (corner of gee yc 4 and California sts., up stairs,) has concluded to leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians, (that of waiting for the public to find you alone,) and pnblish to the world as much as may be, his knowledge of the healing art, to let those who are in need of assistance know where they can find relief without fear of being imposed upon. In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say, . that for the past ten years 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 lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania on yeneral diseases, Upon these considerations, Dr. Young has confidence in introducing himself to the public, knowing that they will organs, Also, diseases of the Womb and its appendages, . such as irregularities of the MENSES, when excessive, defective, suppressed or irregular, Prolapsus or falling of the womb, sterility, ovarean dropsy, and other disease the parts.

Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practice of uncontroloble 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 ftrifling importance—but . alas! after a few weeks, and 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, . despaired of ever regaining my health, strength fand energy; and, as a last resort, and . with but a faint hope, called upon Dr, Czapkay, who, af ter examining my case, prescribed some medicine whieh almost instantly relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my head, Encouraged by this result, [ resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and by a strict obedi ence to all his directions and advice, my head became clear, my ideas collected, the constant pain in my back ,and groins, the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of my whole body on the slightest alarm or excitement; the misanthropy and evil forebodings; the self-distrust @nd want of confidence in others; the incapability to study, and want of resolution; the frightful, exciting, and at all 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, I contemplated to end by my own hand, ’ With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snares of incompetent quacks, 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 eure will be effected.

I told him of my circumstances, and of my inability to reward him for his services; . regardless of which, however, he at once undertook my . ease, 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 indebt. edness, I consider due to myself and to all afilicted, to make the case public, in order that those in need of medical advice may find a physician in whom every confidence can be placed MEYER YABLONSKY, {L. 8.] State of California, county of San Francisco, ss.

In the first stages of Syphilitic or Gonorhceal diseases, he . » guarantees a cure in a few days, without inconvenience to . the patient or hindrance to his business. Whena patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has developed the secondary symptoms of Syphillis, such as buboes or painful swellings on 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 splotches 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 pre-dispose to consumption or other constitutional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks n ‘UMATISM, chronic or acute; in DYSENTAR’ DIARRHGA, he has safe and effectual remedies.

Important to Miner's, Travelers, Etec. HERE is no malady of deeper importance, either ina . medical or moral point 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 ob. ject 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 is in the . person who contracts ft, frightful as are its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently in destruction anda loathesome grave, it becomesof still greater importance when it is transmitted to innocent offspring. Such being the case, how necessary ft becomes that every one having the least reason to fear that they have contracted the di sease, should attend to it at once by consniting some physician, whose respectability and education enables him te warrant a sale, speedy, and permanent cure. In accord. ance with this necessity, DR. YOUNG feels called ‘apon to state that, by long study and extensive practice, he has become perfect master of all these diseases which come un. der the the denomination of venereal, and having paid more attention to that one branch than any other physician in United States, he feels himself better qualified to treat them.

In the mining districts of Mexico, travelers are often entertained with the recital of legends which, although differing in ¢very respect from those wild traditions attached to the ancient feudel decaying castles of Europe, are nevertheless not devoid of interest. It is firmly believed by the Mexican miners that { treasures were hidden during the inv ‘of Cortez, and that the secret of their location, as well as the position of extensive and rich placers, has been handed down from generation to’ generation of the Indian tribes, and that these secrets are known and kept to the present day. The following legend will illustrate these remarks: Long before the Mexican revolution, and whilst the Viceroys of the King of Spain yet satin security on the viceregal throne, there dwelt-in,an Indian village near the Monte Real, a priest whose kindness of heart and strict attention to the duties of his office endeared him to all.ranks and ages of his parishioners, Simle in his habits, and removed by his position ‘om the more onerous conventionalities of society, he passed his daysin tranquility and Ace, Pete was very fond of wating, and the Indians from time to time supplied him with a certain shining dust, which he generally applied to his ink to perform the duty of sand. At length happening to write to an acquaintance in the city of Mexico, his correspondent, in his answer, congratulated the padre on his success, since, as he observed, a man could not but be wealthy who sanded his writing with gold dust, This revelation startled the priest. Every means was employed to induce the Indians to disclose their secret, but all to no effect. One day o deputation of his parishioners waited on the priest padre; said they: ‘*Your children have for some time noticed your extreme restlessness and anxiety—-we love you—we are sorry to see you so suffer in mind and body. Our secrets we cannot reveal to you, but for your sake we are ready tocompromise. Blindfolded we will conduct you to a place where treasures are hidden; you shall be allowed to return with as much as-you can possibly carry, but remember, this is the only time we will break those Cer nitenes ae which only our affection for you indd€ed us to violate for a white man,” The priest consented. Blindfolded and conveyed on the shoulders of Indians, he was carried into a gorge of the mountain, and there ushered intoa cavern. When the bandage was removed from his eyes, he beheld himself surrounded by such countless treasures as at once confounded his senses and dazzled and sickened his imagination, ‘‘Now,'’ said his principal conductof, “load yourself with gold and jewels quickly; we will then re-convey you to our village, and remember that as this is the first, so it will also be the last time we yield to so much weakness.’’ On his return homewards, the Cure contrived to detach the beads from his rosary, and to drop them occasionally in the road. Judge of his chagrin, when, on arriving at his domicile, a young Indian sly gn him nearly his beads, The youth had pieked them up, supposing them to be dropped accidentally, ¢ demon of averice entered into the bosom of the priest. He gave information to the authorities in Mexico—a commission was sent down—art, menace, the denunciations of religion, the cord, the rack, burnings, were resorted to, to induce the people to reveal their seoret, but all to no purpose, The village was depopulated, but the Indians kept their faith, A Fammy Toornprusn.—There was a man at the Mechanic’s Fair last night, says the Bulletin, who undoubtedly deserved the premium for curiosity; he literally reeked with questions, and gave himself no anxiety as to whom they were addressed, If he saw a pound of butter he asked everybody who made Mt; @ portrait, he inquired for whom it was intended, and whether it was considered a good likeness; an engine he wanted to know what were its uses, and if the inventer had as yet produced a patent. Presently, his attention was attracted by a small machine for some porpose or other, but of a very simple construction; by moving a treadle, a circular brush, about three inches in diameter, and half an inch wide, was made rapidly to revelve. Putting it in motion up to extreme of velocity, our here gazed at it, big with curiosity, Then turning to the crowd, he asked if any body could tell him what that was for? “This machine, sir,” said a grave looking old gentleman, standing near, “it is a patent toothbrusb; all you have todo, when you get up in the morning, is to start it by the treadle, w. myone teeth can be most effectually cleaned in half a minute or less, according to the speed with which you operate. In this way, one machine will answer a large family; and four or five will be enough for all the boarders ina large hotel.” Mr. Curiosity returned his thanks for the information, nor did the snicker of the crowd awaken a shade of incredulity, Brive Lirrte Girt.—The other day Ella Seymour, a beautiful little girl, of Downieville, mounted a refractory horse for the pagpore of having her deguerréotype taken on horseback.

Subject of to-day’s lesson? Answer—The Young American. Question—Where is this animal found? Answer—In Uppertendom. n—Can it exist in any but its native air Answer—It cannot thrive, except where civilization is overgrown. Question—To what other species is it nearly allied? Answer—The monkey. Question—Which most resembles man? Answer—Some Naturalists place the Young American next to man, but by most it is considered inferior to the monkey. Question—Describe the Young American? Answer—Body andglimbs were slight —head small and very erect, being light—the coat smooth, and glittering in spots with the brilliancy of gold or gems—eyes usually mild and gentle in expression, though when the animal is roused, they are capable of a furious glare, A striking peculiarity is the long fur or hair which with some quite covers the face, with others, all but a narrow space below the eyes. Forehead low—tecth small, sharp and very white F Gueston—Is the Young American dangerous Answer—Sometimes threatening, but seldom dangerous. They retreat at onee when attacked by man, The kind called fortune hunters should, however, be excepted. They are keenscented and cunning, stealthy in pursuit of prey, and cruel to their victims, Question—On whet does the Young American subsist? Answer—On “father’s money’’—a substance well known in U} om. Question—Has the Young American anything like the power of speech? Answer—When irritated it gives utterance to a low sound, like ‘“demd bore,’’ or sometimes “kussed bore,’’ but it is usually quiet. Question—Can this creature be made nseful to man, in any way? Answer—Some attempts to train him for usefulness have been made, but in vain—they have always resulted in the lose of individuality, and have, therefore, been abandoned. Yet it is valued as a pet by ladies, who are often fond of the creature as a companion in their walks, and they even give it a place in their drawing-room —merely a plaything, however, as itis of no use where protection is needed. Still, the Young American fills a place in Uppertendom which no other animal in the knowa world would occupy. ; Question—Then what appears to be the object of its existence, if it cannot be rendered useful? Answer—The object of its existance is yet to be discovered; although, as we are taught that nothing is made in vain, there is doubtless a design in the existence of the Young American. Question—Is the Young American ever confounded with the True American? Answer—Never. The True American is quite a distinct species, and is not found in Uppertendom, Perfect lesson. Knickerbocker. Smarr Practice at Niagara Far.s,— The Niagara Falls Times says that Mr. Webster, of the American hotel, at Niagara city, was formerly a resident of her Britannic Majesty’s province of Canada, but moved suddenly into the United States, leaving his creditors to whistle for $12,000, And that wasn’t all, He was in the habit of visiting Clifton on the Sabbath day, at which time he could not be arrested. Recently, a reward of $2,000was offered to any erson who would place Mr. Webster in the hands of the Canadian authorities. On Sunday last Mr. W. visited Clifton as usual, when a Mr. Peck evinced a great interest in that gentleman’s welfare, by treating him liberally till he became intoxicated, when it was avery easy matter to get up a ‘Me with him, which resulted in a fight and Mr, Webster was arrested for disturbing the peace. Of course the only object of the whole affair was to have him detained until the following morning, when he was again arrested as an absconding debtor.

TOZER’S CARD to the afflicted of Cali fornia, 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 stillnobler end. It is to lay before you in such plain terms that you cannot be mistaken and will know where to apply for relief, I 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, sd derangement of the digestive functions, general debility, symptoms of consumption, and many others which are better explained than puton paper, and require Medical or Surgical attendance, it would be well for them to inquire ifthere isa physician who is competent to attend them, and who understands the application of medicine, and whose Scientific Attainments in his profession, 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, advertising his place of business, Salen that he has been a successful practitioner for over twenty-five years, and has Attended and Cured Hundreds, 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 confidenee 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 delicacy prevent you, but apply immediately, and save yourself from the dreadful consequences which must follow those who neglect to receive attendance, Dr. C, H. Tozer’s office is on 6th street, near the Belvidere Hotel; between J and K streets.

Is there an hereafter, And that there is, conscience uninfluenced, ier suffered to speak out, tells every man,) Then it is an awful thing to die, More horrid yet to die by one’s own hand. Self-murderer—name it not ! : 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 all ages have been most unanimously of opinion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens 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 importantant then, it is—for every one, having the least cause to suspect any trouble in that way, toattend to it immediately; even one single occurrence should be suffi. cient to cause doubt, and much more so if the person had ever indulged 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 physician in the country. It is the same as that followed by him for years, under the guidance of the world-renowned Record of Paris, and Acton of London.

In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say, . that for the past ten years 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 lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania on yeneral diseases, Upon these considerations, Dr. Young has confidence in introducing himself to the public, knowing that they will organs, Also, diseases of the Womb and its appendages, . such as irregularities of the MENSES, when excessive, defective, suppressed or irregular, Prolapsus or falling of the womb, sterility, ovarean dropsy, and other disease the parts.

Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practice of uncontroloble 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 ftrifling importance—but . alas! after a few weeks, and 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, . despaired of ever regaining my health, strength fand energy; and, as a last resort, and . with but a faint hope, called upon Dr, Czapkay, who, af ter examining my case, prescribed some medicine whieh almost instantly relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my head, Encouraged by this result, [ resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and by a strict obedi ence to all his directions and advice, my head became clear, my ideas collected, the constant pain in my back ,and groins, the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of my whole body on the slightest alarm or excitement; the misanthropy and evil forebodings; the self-distrust @nd want of confidence in others; the incapability to study, and want of resolution; the frightful, exciting, and at all 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, I contemplated to end by my own hand, ’ With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snares of incompetent quacks, 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 eure will be effected.

I told him of my circumstances, and of my inability to reward him for his services; . regardless of which, however, he at once undertook my . ease, 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 indebt. edness, I consider due to myself and to all afilicted, to make the case public, in order that those in need of medical advice may find a physician in whom every confidence can be placed MEYER YABLONSKY, {L. 8.] State of California, county of San Francisco, ss.

Important to Miner's, Travelers, Etec. HERE is no malady of deeper importance, either ina . medical or moral point 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 ob. ject 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 is in the . person who contracts ft, frightful as are its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently in destruction anda loathesome grave, it becomesof still greater importance when it is transmitted to innocent offspring. Such being the case, how necessary ft becomes that every one having the least reason to fear that they have contracted the di sease, should attend to it at once by consniting some physician, whose respectability and education enables him te warrant a sale, speedy, and permanent cure. In accord. ance with this necessity, DR. YOUNG feels called ‘apon to state that, by long study and extensive practice, he has become perfect master of all these diseases which come un. der the the denomination of venereal, and having paid more attention to that one branch than any other physician in United States, he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
