CORNS AND BUNIONS REMOVED.
DR. BYRON ©. KENNEDY, practical Curroronrsr,
late of Philadelphia, would most respectfully inform the citizens of San Francisco that he has opened his office at No. 12
Montgome’ kde ctl the Lick House, where he is
repare ove all excresences, such as Corns, Bunions,
nverted Nails, Enlarged Joints, Swelled Tusteps, Frosted
Feet, Chilblains, Callosities, and all diseases of the Feet,
without pain or inconvenience to the patient. i
Dr. Kennedy also attends to Ganglion, or Scorbutic Ulcers, and all other’ diseases of the Skin. He may be consulted at his office, No, 12 Montgomery street, opposite the
Lick House, from 9 to 124.™., and 2 to6p.m. Having
devoted six years of study to this important, but too much
neglected, branch of human knowledge, and having studied
anatomy under the mostskiitul and scientific Professors of
Philadelphia, and having made this branch of surgical science my speciality for nine years, enables me to operate skilfolly and successfully. In England, France and Austria the
highest prizes are often awarded to practitioners in this
branch of surgical science, and it occupies with others an
equally lo{ty position in the profession.
Voizin is an illustrious example, a shining light, among
the philosophical stars of Europe, and Dr. Byron CO. Kengedy has fully equsled him in this country, as a proof of which
the Faculty of the University College of Philadelphia, Pa.,
complimented him with testimenials.
Dr. Kennedy has bent his earnest attention to the cure of
these diseases, in which he has become so great an expert
that he is now regarded as the leader in this country, in this
branch of the profession, throughout the United States.
The following letter, which emphatically speaks for itself,
was written by Dr. W. L. Stevens of the University College
of Philadelphia ;
Dr. Byron C. Kxsyexy: Dear Sir—Learning that you are going to take
your departure for California, and wishing to inform the citizens of Philwdelphia and also the people of the State of California the es niv which
we hold you, and knowlng that nothing is more essential to your suec«
than the encouragement which you may receive from the people of Philadelphia, in the midst of which is the playground of your boyhood, and
knowing that you haye devoted yoarsof sindy to this important but too
much ndglected branch of human knowledge; that you have attained to the
highest rank in your profession, siveral of the Faculty and othor prominent
citizens of Philadelphia having submitted to yoar manipulation, we cin recommond you with confidence to the citizens of San Francisco, as ove of the
moat skilful surgeons of the age, aud we hopo your success may be such as
will repay you for your years of study, aud that you may find a broad flola’
for your oxertio sin tho new and growing city of the Pacific.

THE EYES! THE EYES!!! THE EYES!!! ACIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S line to PANAMA
DR. E. H. PARDEE,
Oculist and Aurist to the San Francisco Deaf, Dumb
und Blind Asylum.
After a protracted blindness of more than five years, Dr.
PARDEE hes made himself thoroughly and scientifically
acquainted with all diseases of the Eye, and is now practicing with a success that cannot be surpassed in the United
States; and as proof of this he substantiates by many cases
now in California that have been cured by him, after having
exhausted the skill of the eminent physicians and oculists of
New York city, Boston and Philadelphia.
From an extensive practical knowledge of more than 14
years, Dr. Pardee asserts, and is prepared to prove, that
there has been more blindness from bad and improper treatment than from disease itselt—how can it be otherwise when
we take into consideration the effects of the old hacknied
course of local treatment that patients undergo—Caustic
to-day and Bluestone to-morrow—more painful than death,
and always more tedious than the disease. Patients are
daily presenting themselves with chronic cases, and on inquiring what had been formerly done, the almost invariable
reply is, “ L had my eyes burned with caustic or bluestone ;”
“T was bled and blistered, then cupped two or three times a
week—had a blue pill preseribed for me at night, and salts
in the morning—was ordered in a dark room—to keep my
eyes tightly bandaged—to avoid the open air and exercise,”
with fifty other inconsistencies, the aggregate of which is
sure blindness. Patients should be careful and not place
their eyes at the mercies of a man who does nothing but
burn them daily, not investigating the cireumstances of each
particular case; but ignorantly and blindly adopting and following theories the most erroneous, and destructive to the
eye. How much more rational ané consistent to consult an
experienced Oculist, who thoroughly understands every disease of this tender organ in all its aspects and varieties. Dr.
PARDEE has from sixty to one hundred patierts wader his
daily supervision, and, with but very few cases, they have all
been treated by other physicians hefore applying to him—andy
all to no benefit. ‘hose who are doubtful ave permitted to
callat Dr. Pardee’s office and confer with the many patients
who convene there between the hours of 9 and 12 in the
forenoon. The Dr. has a large and only assortment of Artificial Eyes on this coast, inserted, haying all the moyements
of the real eye, and that they look so life-like that no one can
tell them, when properly inserted, from the realeye. These
eyes are sold reasonable.

cross-eyes— Cataracts”—or removal of the Lena-hy ahsorntion or extraction;—* Plerygium,” or fleshy membranes growing over the eyes. Artificial Pupils, &e.

*®. Important to the Afflicted.—In consequence of the wide spread
and devastating rule of empyricks throughout California, in the treatment
of PRIVATE DISEASES, the Directors have concluded to place before the
public the fuct that the Resident Physician of the Electropathic Tustitute,
645 Washington street, between Montgomery and Kearny streets, is the best
qualified physician in the State to ensure a PERFECT and PERMANENT OURE in
such cases, aud he will always be in attendance to consult privately with all
who may require his services, and will ensure speedy relief. Should this
meet the eye of any ono who may have reason to fear that the disease may
be lurking in their system, they may call upon him without fear of being
discovered; the charges will be moderate and the assistance prompt.
