DEWEY & CO., Pubiishers, 2 We My SMITH oe0e.0000+We De EWEBo'ttves veyed, Ts DEWEY, m = Oakland Water-Cure. PRIL IsT, 1864, WE OPENED A HYGIENIC BOARDING House and Ladies’ Health Institute In Oakland. The great advantage we have experienced since that time, in the treatment nnd eure of all those diseases peculiar to fe males, as well as those eommon to all, over ihat of San Franelseo, induced us to give up the treatment of gentlemen in the eity. We have aecordingly removed our entire Bathing, Electro-magnetie, aud Gymnastic Apparatus, whieh we tsed espceially In the treatment of males, to our Health Institute across the Bay, and have found, alter a trlal of seven months, that geutlemen as weil as iady patlents recover, at our Fountuin Farm Cure, one-third faster than In the eity of San Franeiseo. ‘Tire climate here is the Invust even and braeing to be Yound in the State. The grounds command a view unsurjlassed in the world. The Instltutlonis furulshed with an xbundanee of pure, soft water, from numerous springs; and we now offer to Ministers, Teachers, Lawyers, Miners, Merchants, Meehanies, Farmers, and all other worthy persons, who desire to try the advantage or the only vatronal system of medieine, the hos pitailties of our Byyienie Home and Cure. Young men who have heeome debilltated or lost their health by exeessIve toii, exposure, or cnervating habits, contracted sie Ignorance of Physical Laws, may with us find more of the elcouragenients they need, and means that will restore them to heaith, than else where in Ga llornia. * We ciaim for Water-Oure and Hygienic Medicatlon superlor advantages over all systems of drug medieatlon In the cure of alldisurders, whether aeule or ehronie; that itis followed hy none of those debilitating diseases, such as Piles, Chronle Dlarrhea, Torpid Liver, Constlpation, intense Nervousness, Neuralgia, etc,, nor those terrible Sceondary Diseases, known as Varleuse Swelling ol the Veins, Necrosis, or Deeaying of the Bones, Uleeratlon of the Limbs, dlereurial Rheumatism, Urethal Strictures, etc., whieh we well know result fiom the iree use of mercury end other metallie drugs, together with stimulants and yegetable poisons given ta ovcrcome acute diseases. The Oakland Water-Cure and Eye Infirmary is by tur the most eoniplete in its facilities for the eure of all diseases commonly treated in ail Eastern Water Cures ot any lke establishinent on thls coast, and the only one In Calltornla eondueted according to the Throry and Praetice of the New York Hydropatbic Coliege. We use all forms of Wann and Goid Wet shect Paeks, the Electro-Cbemical Bath, Steam Baths, Improved sitz Baths, Douch Baths a Patent Spray Bath, and Mavic Buths. The last named was In.titnted by Dr. Smith with speeial reterence to the cure of those diseases pecullar to miners, namely: heumatism, Inflamimatory or Chronie, Stiff Joints, Paralysis, Mercurial, Lead, and Oak Poisonings. It isa sure cure for Agneand Fever. It aids more than any other Bath we have yet used in eradleuting all kinds of drugs and Infeetious poisons, and in the enre of ali disorders indueed by exposure to dampness and watcr, foul air, absence of ilglit and electrlelty, retorting metals, the malaria of rivers and low marshy grounds. Where there wasa fair constltution lett, even when drugs had heen appiied tor months ai d yeara without a cure, we have, in the past seven years, treated successtully the toliowing diseases: Chronic, {ntlam matory and Mereurial Rheumatism: Paraiysis; Lung, Bronchial aud Caturrhal Affections; Diseases of the Heart, Kiducys, Liver; Oyspepsiu, Constlnation, Erysipelus, Serofula, Piics, Inflammation of the Boweis, Chrenle and Acute Diarrhea, and all diseases and weaknesses peeuliar to male and fe: tales, No physlelan In California is so favorably sltunted to lurnish so many home eomiorts and hyzienic conditions that ure indispensable to the speedy reeovery of nervous and ehronie Invalids. We have the only truly heaithful boarding plaee lu the State lor men, woinen and children, with plenty of saddle and earrlage horses tor the use of patients and boarders. To that class ot Diseases and Weaknesses peculiar to females, and the medication that Hydiopathie or Hygienic physictans employ in theircure, do we Invite the +pecial atrention of pitlents and their triends. The case and rapidity with which teinalcs sufferlnug irom general or speeinl debility, reeoycr In the bracing elimate ot the Bay, under Hygienic Medication, together with the universal success that has attcnded the treatment ot females at Dr. Smith's Institutions, (both in Sreramento and San Franclsey) has Induced us to make this class of human afflictions a _speelality of our Institution. We have treated (mosily In the cure), over 3u0 females, several of whom had been ‘bedridden” lor nienths and years, and ail haye been deeldedi; benefited, and with but lew exceptions, returned to thelr homes in from two to six seeks, so far recovered as no lonzer to needa pbysician. We have never yet iearncd of a Binele instanee ot a relapse ino their former condition. There is not one female Invalid In twenty that has been suffering trom nervous debility or discascs pecullar to her sex, that caupot be permanentiy cured by spending trom four to six weeks at our Cure, and at the mere cust of $luu. This staremnent we make in contidcnee, trom an experlence of the last seven years. From the many who huve beew treated at our Cure, we have yet to learn of a single regret troin husband or wife ol the tline or means they have expended in Hygienic Medication, New Yor, Aug. I, 1858.

Smith isa graduate of the New York Hyzieo-Therapentle College, which Colicge has a regular Charter from the Legislature of the Stare of New York, and ig authorized to crant Diplomas, conterring ol its siudents all und the sume privileges aud immunities in relation ta the practice of the Heallnig Art, that are con. ferred by the Diplomas of any Allopathic or other Medical College in tbe country.

Opinions of the Press: THE GOLDEN Era.—We would eall the attention of all newly-arriyed Californiaus to this excellent weekiy cotemporary.

PRIL IsT, 1864, WE OPENED A HYGIENIC BOARDING House and Ladies’ Health Institute In Oakland. The great advantage we have experienced since that time, in the treatment nnd eure of all those diseases peculiar to fe males, as well as those eommon to all, over ihat of San Franelseo, induced us to give up the treatment of gentlemen in the eity. We have aecordingly removed our entire Bathing, Electro-magnetie, aud Gymnastic Apparatus, whieh we tsed espceially In the treatment of males, to our Health Institute across the Bay, and have found, alter a trlal of seven months, that geutlemen as weil as iady patlents recover, at our Fountuin Farm Cure, one-third faster than In the eity of San Franeiseo. ‘Tire climate here is the Invust even and braeing to be Yound in the State. The grounds command a view unsurjlassed in the world. The Instltutlonis furulshed with an xbundanee of pure, soft water, from numerous springs; and we now offer to Ministers, Teachers, Lawyers, Miners, Merchants, Meehanies, Farmers, and all other worthy persons, who desire to try the advantage or the only vatronal system of medieine, the hos pitailties of our Byyienie Home and Cure. Young men who have heeome debilltated or lost their health by exeessIve toii, exposure, or cnervating habits, contracted sie Ignorance of Physical Laws, may with us find more of the elcouragenients they need, and means that will restore them to heaith, than else where in Ga llornia. * We ciaim for Water-Oure and Hygienic Medicatlon superlor advantages over all systems of drug medieatlon In the cure of alldisurders, whether aeule or ehronie; that itis followed hy none of those debilitating diseases, such as Piles, Chronle Dlarrhea, Torpid Liver, Constlpation, intense Nervousness, Neuralgia, etc,, nor those terrible Sceondary Diseases, known as Varleuse Swelling ol the Veins, Necrosis, or Deeaying of the Bones, Uleeratlon of the Limbs, dlereurial Rheumatism, Urethal Strictures, etc., whieh we well know result fiom the iree use of mercury end other metallie drugs, together with stimulants and yegetable poisons given ta ovcrcome acute diseases. The Oakland Water-Cure and Eye Infirmary is by tur the most eoniplete in its facilities for the eure of all diseases commonly treated in ail Eastern Water Cures ot any lke establishinent on thls coast, and the only one In Calltornla eondueted according to the Throry and Praetice of the New York Hydropatbic Coliege. We use all forms of Wann and Goid Wet shect Paeks, the Electro-Cbemical Bath, Steam Baths, Improved sitz Baths, Douch Baths a Patent Spray Bath, and Mavic Buths. The last named was In.titnted by Dr. Smith with speeial reterence to the cure of those diseases pecullar to miners, namely: heumatism, Inflamimatory or Chronie, Stiff Joints, Paralysis, Mercurial, Lead, and Oak Poisonings. It isa sure cure for Agneand Fever. It aids more than any other Bath we have yet used in eradleuting all kinds of drugs and Infeetious poisons, and in the enre of ali disorders indueed by exposure to dampness and watcr, foul air, absence of ilglit and electrlelty, retorting metals, the malaria of rivers and low marshy grounds. Where there wasa fair constltution lett, even when drugs had heen appiied tor months ai d yeara without a cure, we have, in the past seven years, treated successtully the toliowing diseases: Chronic, {ntlam matory and Mereurial Rheumatism: Paraiysis; Lung, Bronchial aud Caturrhal Affections; Diseases of the Heart, Kiducys, Liver; Oyspepsiu, Constlnation, Erysipelus, Serofula, Piics, Inflammation of the Boweis, Chrenle and Acute Diarrhea, and all diseases and weaknesses peeuliar to male and fe: tales, No physlelan In California is so favorably sltunted to lurnish so many home eomiorts and hyzienic conditions that ure indispensable to the speedy reeovery of nervous and ehronie Invalids. We have the only truly heaithful boarding plaee lu the State lor men, woinen and children, with plenty of saddle and earrlage horses tor the use of patients and boarders. To that class ot Diseases and Weaknesses peculiar to females, and the medication that Hydiopathie or Hygienic physictans employ in theircure, do we Invite the +pecial atrention of pitlents and their triends. The case and rapidity with which teinalcs sufferlnug irom general or speeinl debility, reeoycr In the bracing elimate ot the Bay, under Hygienic Medication, together with the universal success that has attcnded the treatment ot females at Dr. Smith's Institutions, (both in Sreramento and San Franclsey) has Induced us to make this class of human afflictions a _speelality of our Institution. We have treated (mosily In the cure), over 3u0 females, several of whom had been ‘bedridden” lor nienths and years, and ail haye been deeldedi; benefited, and with but lew exceptions, returned to thelr homes in from two to six seeks, so far recovered as no lonzer to needa pbysician. We have never yet iearncd of a Binele instanee ot a relapse ino their former condition. There is not one female Invalid In twenty that has been suffering trom nervous debility or discascs pecullar to her sex, that caupot be permanentiy cured by spending trom four to six weeks at our Cure, and at the mere cust of $luu. This staremnent we make in contidcnee, trom an experlence of the last seven years. From the many who huve beew treated at our Cure, we have yet to learn of a single regret troin husband or wife ol the tline or means they have expended in Hygienic Medication, New Yor, Aug. I, 1858.
