A great discrepancy seems to exist as to the
democratic majority in Pennsylvania. The fol
lowing is the most reliable.
Philadelphia, Oct. 17th.—The following re
turns of votes in the city, show 36,038 for Bcott,
democrat, for Canal Commissioner; and 32,604,
for C. Gocranc, fusion candidate.
The following arc the official democratic ma
jorities :
Philadelphia county, 3,334; Chester county,
450; Northampton county, 2,320. The entire
returns, we received this morning, increase the
democratic majority in the State, to 6,648.
The Philadelphia Pennst/lvanian, of Thursday
morning, gives returns and estimates from all
the counties of the State, and places the proba
the result as follows :
Democratic majority, in democratic Coun
ties, 34,751. Fusion majorities, in the Fusion
Counties, 30,495; and Democratic majority,
over all, 4,256.
Ohio.—(Congress.)—lst District, G. 11. Pen
dleton, dem.; 2d District, W. S. Grocsbeck,
dem.; 3d District. L, D. Campbell, rep.; 4th

District, Benjamin Letter, rep.; 19th District,
Edward Wade, rep.; 20th District, Joseph R.
Giddings, rep.; 21st District, J. A, Bingham,
rop.
Colcmbcs. —Oct. 16th.—Messrs. Groesbeck.
Pendleton, Miller, Cox, Cockerel, and Hall, the
democratic candidates for Congress in the Ist,
2d, 9th, 10th, 12th, and 16th Districts are elected
and dispatches indicate the success of Messrs.
Pendleton and Lawrence, dem., in the sth and
19th Districts. The Medill and Burns' Districts,
are not in as yet.
Cincinnati. —Oct. 16th.—The Gazelle, says,
that the Republican majority in Ohio is 30,000,
and that the American vote is less than 20,000.
Indiana.— lndianopolis, Friday, Oct. 17th. —
The election of the Hon. A. P. Willard, dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, is conceded.
The Republicans have a majority in the j
State Senate and the Democrats in the
House. The Dem’s, elected 5 congress
men, and the Rep’s. 3 certain. Three
Districts are still doubtful. The Hart
ford Fiincs had a special dispatch from
Indianapolis on Wednesday, saying, that 8
Democratic Congressmen were elected in
Indiana. This would bo a gain of 6.
Later.—Special despatches to the Bos
ton Post, dated Philadelphia Oct. 17th,
3P M. says: Majority certainly not less
than 5,000, probably 7,900. 15 Congress
men elected. Democratic majority in the
legislature decisive, and this against all
the factions. The greatness of the battle
field of Pennsylvania, and the splendor of
the Democratic triumph can hardly be ex
aggerated. We have nothing to qualify
in our comments, and nothing to utter ex
cept only, the majority. This, is hardly
ascertained; we have a majority in the’
House of Representatives, 13 Members of
Congress, and a majority in the popular
vote.
Great and even fearful as was the ex
citement, the election passed in a peaceful
and quiet manner, and all the parties
looked to the ballot box as the great arbi
ter. In commenting on this fact, the
Pennsylvanian says ; We doubt much if
the same number of votes, amid so much
intense feeling, have ever been polled
anywhere, with so few exhibitions of angry
contentious, or disorderly conduct.
Kansas. — General Whitfield bad been
elected Delegate to Congress from Kansas
Territoxy, by the Pro-slavery party. His
election was unanimous. By a preamble
and resolutions, which were adopted by the
citizens of Florence, it appears the Free
State party regarded the election law as
invalid, and of no effect; and they conse
quently refused to vote.
Democratic Victories. —The result
of the elections held thus far in the seve
ral States, for the next Congressmen, show
a gain of forty-two members in ten States,
for the Democracy. If the elections yet
to be held result as in 1854, when the op
position carried everything their own way,
the House will stand in the Thirty-fifth
Congress, 121 Democrats to 113 Opposi
tion. The prospect is that the Democrats
will secure a working majority over all oth
ers.
South Carolina. —The following Con
gressmen were elected on Monday and
Tuesday : Ist District, J. McQueen, dem.
2nd District, W. Torcher Miles, dem.;
3d District, L. M. Keitt, dem.; 4th Dis
trict, P. S. Brooks, dem.; sth District,
J. L. Orr, dem.; 6th District, W. W.
Boyce, dem.
Still Later — Florida. —This State
has elected a Democratic Governor and
Congressmen by about 500 majority.
Savannah, Oct. 14.—The whole Mu
nicipal ticket has been elected. The May
or’s majority over the American candidate
was 137.
New Jersy. —-Newark. Nexcarlc
Charter Election. —The vote on Tuesday,
was as follows: Moses Bigelow, Dem.
3,495, Parkhurst, K. N. 2,256; Howell,
Rep. 2,157. Plurality for Bigelow, 159.
The new Members of the Common Council
stand 10 Dem., 2 K. N. and 1 Rep. inclu
ding the hold-over Members.
The Council will stand Dem. 13, K. N.
7, and Rep. 2.
Miscellaneous. —The Know Nothings
and Republicans, have made a Fusion
Electorial Ticket in Pennsylvania.
The Know Nothings have refused to
fuse with the Republicans, in the electo
rial ticket in Indiana.
Marine Disaster. —On Tuesday night,
in Chesapeake Bay, the Steamer Mon
mouth ran into the Brig Windward, bound
from Baltimore to New Orleans. The Brig
escaped with slight injury; but the Mon
mouth, sprang a leak, and in a short time
sank. Nine persons, principally belonging
to the crew, were lost; fifteen others
escaped on a raft, and were subsequently
picked up.
Providence, R. I. Oct. 19th. —Ex-
Governor Sprague, the most extensive
manufacturer in the city, died this after
noon. He was at the head of the Fillmore
Electoral Ticket in this State.
Vigilance Committee. —C. P Duane,
has instituted a suit against W. T. Cole
man, for his banishment by the Vigi
lance Committee. Coleman has been held
to bail in 675,000. His co-defendants,
James Dow and Geo. Bell, have not been
found, and were supposed to have secreted
themselves on the Illinois, which sailed to
day. Deputy Sheriff Cromby, went down
in the Illinois, as far as Sandy Hook,
hopcing the fugitives would make their
appearance before she got to sea but
nothing was seen of them.
Daniel Sickles acts as the plaintiff’s At
torney. Dows was subsequently arrested.
Another suit has been commenced against
the same party, by William Mulligan.—
Coleman and Dows are out on 625,000
bail. Damages claimed, 6100,000.
FROM EUROPE!
New York, Oct. 20th. — By the arrival
of the Persia at this port on Wednesday,
we have one week’s later intelligence from
Europe. Its details are interesting. A
Russian circular dispatch, in which refer
ence is made to the affairs of Naples, had
been read to the French Minister of For
eign Affairs. The fact caused some sen
sation, coupled with the rumor that Rus
sia was about to send a fleet to the Bay of
Naples. The latter may or *may not be
well founded, but as this question will be
submitted, with other complications, to the
consideration of the Congress which is
about to re-assemble for the organization
of the government of the Danubian Prin
cipalities, we hardly think that Russia
has decided on such a step.
Negotiations for the settlement of the
Neufchatel difficulty will also be opened at
the Paris Congress. It is stated that Eng
land has addressed rather a peremptory
note to the Russian Government in rela
tion to the Isle of Serpents and that con
siderable agitation had been created there.
From Spain there is no news ofinterest,
some of the English vessels of war destined
for the demonstration against Naples had
arrived at the port of rendezvous.
Austria was making strenuous efforts to
to induce England and France to wait the
result of Baron Hubner’s mission.
The London and Paris money markets
were greatly agitated by rumors that the
bank of France was about to suspend spe
cie payments.
The British coast has been visited by
terrific gales, inflicting a large amount of
damage on shipping.
Bundle’s Plan for Separating
Gold. —The London Mining Journal
gives an account of Mr. Bundle’s method
of separating gold from mercury, -when the
latter by assay is found too rich. The
mercury after being strained, is assayed;
granulated zinc, previously cleaned with
dilute sulphuric acid, is then added to it.
As soon as the zinc is completely amalga
mated the mercury is well stirred and re
strained; a solid amalgam is obtained, con
taining, practically speaking, the whole of
the gold and the greater part of the zinc
which has been added. The proportion
of zinc necessary is about one third of the
weight of gold to be extracted; with less
the whole of the gold is not obtained. If
more than an equivalent be employed, the
marcury retains a considerable quantity of
zinc; the difficulty of refining gold is also
increased. W hen the object is to extract
all the gold, it is advisable to use a small
excess of zinc.
Eliciting an Idea. —Two Dutchmen
living opposite each other, who had been
for many years in the habit of smoking by
their door-sides in silence, at length broke
forth in the following dialogue: “What
sort of wedder you think it will be to-day,
neighbor?” “Well, I don’t know; what
sort of wedder do you tink it will be?”—
The first, somewhat nettled, “I tink it
will be wedder as you tink it will be.”—
The other, acquiescingly, “well, I tink so
too.”
The Next Speakership. —The name
of Gen. J. M. Estelle, of Marin county, is
currently spoken of in our streets as a can
didate for the Speakership of the next
Assembly.
The Old 9IIU.
Beneath a hill, beside a wood,
Remote from haunts of men,
In modest guise the old mill stood,
Down in a willow glen ;
A narrow path led to the door,
And then turned back again.
1 knew it in my early days,
For it was nigh my home;
It was the scene of boyish plays,
For hither I would come
In idle hours released from school,
And free about it roam.
Its glassy pond was my delight,
While yet a truant boy ;
I never wearied at the sight,
Its pleasures could not cloy,
For every season in its change
Brought with it some new joy.
In early spring, with pole in hand,
And line with barbed hook.
Upon its margin I would stand,
And deep into it look ;
Oh, I had been a learned man
If thus I’d conned my book.
I’ve had few prizes for my share,
Since manhood I’ve attained,
And those I find with constant care
Have still to be maintained ;
But the first fish I drew to land
Was pleasure all unfeigned.
Far in its waters I would glide
When summer suns were high,
Or on its polished surface slide
When winter swept the sky—
Those days are past;—yet oft I think
How happy then was I.
The miller’s white-washed cottage too
That stood behind the mill ;
The barn, the shed of greyish blue,
I think I see them still;
A little garden smiled in front,
’Twas watered by a rill.
The miller was a sturdy man,
And jovial too was he,
And while amidst his flour and bran
Would sing a merry glee,
Or with the farmers pass a joke,
For “many a joke had he.’’
The miller's wife, the miller’s child,
They made his heart so light;
She was a matron kind and mild,
And she a maiden bright;
I loved to see them walk to church,
It was a pleasant sight.
Those times again may never be !
The miller he is dead,
And where the old mill stood, you see
A factory instead;
A thousand spindles now fly x’ound,
Where only one wheel sped.
The pleasant wood that grew around,
And each sequestered spot,
Have since been levelled with the ground,
To make a village lot ;
And where to find my early haunts
I now have quite forgot.
I do not care these scenes to view,
Or gaze this landscape o’er,
For it does quiet thoughts renew
Where quiet reigns no more ;
I see a thriving village rise,
. And yet my heart is sore. [c. F. L, f.]
Beautiful. —We have mentioned the
discontinuance of the “Empire County
Aryan.'’ From the valedictory of the ed
itors, we extract the following elegant par
agraph ;
“Coloma is a pleasant place to live in;
beautiful and picturesque in itself and sce
nery surrounding, and boasting a popula
tion of brave and generous men and women
as ever breathed God’s mountain air; and
now that business pursuits constrain us to
seek a new field of usefulness, we feel like
one who quits the scenes and associations
of youth, to go out into the cold world,
looking in new lands for fortune, and
for smiles in strange faces. But it must
be so, and we shake off for the time these
unpleasant reflections, and go forth to do
and bear what the fates have in store for
us. We leave Colma as we have left a
hundred places before—with a brass rule
in our pocket and light heart in our vest —
bearing away little of malice or lucre, but
priding in the good will of those among
whom we have been sojourning. Long
years from now, if life be spared, we shall
still turn back to memory’s page, where
are written the bright lines of to-day’s ex
perience ; and, as we now quit it with regret,
we shall ever return with pleasure to Colo
ma —feeling in the heart’s quickened throb,
as we look down the hills which stand sen
tinel around the golden valley, that merry
tingle of the jubilant blood which thrills
the soul as we draw near home.”
An Austrian Know-Nothing Rebu
ked. —A characteristic anecdote of the
Austrian Emperor is related in Berlin.—
At the recent meeting betwean the Empe
ror and the King of Prussia at Toplitz, the
latter presented to the Austrian monarch,
among other eminent personages, Alex
ander von Humboldt, whereupon Francis
Joseph, in a drawling tone, inquired of
his “royal cousin,” “Who is this Hum
boldt?” The Prussian King, incensed at
this specimen of Hapsburgh imbecility, re
plied, emphasizing the words, “He is the
greatest man since the flood.”
Sheep. —The Sonora Democrat of last
Saturday says: Mr. Whaler, passed Gallo
way’s Ranch on Tuesday with 4,000 sheep.
He left Santa Fe, in New Mexico, on the
25th of June. The Indians attacked his
train on the Humboldt and robbed him of
all his pack animals, fifteen in number.—
As the mules were packed at the time, the
Indians made a clean sweep of all the bag
gage belonging to the train. A carpet
bag containing 0300 in money was on one of
the mules, and of course fell into the hands
of the thieves. Mr. Whayler started with
5,000 sheep but lost 1,000.
Yreka. —At Yreka times are dull, and
financial matters tight. The inhabitants
of the town have been amusing themselves
recently, by listening to the recital of deeds
of daring by the officers and soldiers who
participated in the recent Indian war.—
The great subject matter for enquiry is,
where are the privates of the grand army.
All who have returned are either Majors
or Colonels, and no common soldiers are to
be seen. It appears, up there, like the
days of ’49, when every man was possessed
of a military or medical title.
STANISLAUS MILLS.
HAVING leased the above property, we are
prepared to PAY CASH for any amount
of Wheat upon delivery.
Fanners will bear in mind that these Mills
are situated at the foot of the mountains, in
the mining region, and the prices we pay for
Grain will always remunerate them for freight
ing their produce to us.
We would call particular attention to the
immense
FIRE-PROOF BRICK STORE-HOUSE,
connected with these Mills, capable of holding
TWO THOUSAND TONS of Wheat, where
Farmers wishing to remove their grain past all
bad roads in winter, can store Free of Charge.
To those Farmers who wish to dispose of
their produce after manufacturing, we would
state that we will furnish the storage FREE
for their Flour, Bran, Ac., in fire-proof houses
in
SONORA, COLUMBIA, JAMESTOWN,
CHINESE CAMP, MURPHY'S
or SAN ANDREAS,
at either point they may prefer, where they can
safely leave their Goods, and await bad roads
and high prices for Flour, and where, at any
time they choose, they can make sales, for
CASH, and not be compelled to submit to a
Pedlar's Fate, of selling at any prices that may
be offered to the wagoner.
Farmers selling grain to us can, if they de
sire, always have loads of freight furnished
them to the mountains, at the going rates.
Customers can have their produce delivered
to any point they may designate, from Mokel
umne Hill to Kern River, as we have a large
train of Pack Mules for this purpose.
Thus Farmers can store their grain in their
store house, proceed to the mountains and con
tract to deliver their Flour at any point in the
Southern Mines, and obtain the highest prices.
We wash smutty wheat by machinery, at a
trifling expense, and manufacture it into the
best of Flour.
SEED WHEAT thoroughly cleansed free of
charge; barley, oats and chess taken out.
Wheat and barley mixed, will be taken and
separated perfectly.
The highest prices in cash will always be
paid for Wheat.
Lumber will be given in exchange for grain
at Stockton prices.
No wheat containing small stones or gravel,
or clods of earth, will be received for grinding
into Flour under any circumstances.
No lot of wheat of any description will be
received for flouring, unless it can be manu
factured into superfine Flour.
Customers bringing grain to the Mills will be
kept over night without charge.
No smoking or camp fires will be allowed
about the premises.
No business of any nature will be attended
to on Sunday.
Under no pretext whatever, will children be
allowed about the Mills, unless accompanied by
their parents.
THE REPUTATION of the Stanislaus Mills
is established beyond doubt, as being the best
in the country; the proof of which may be
found in the fact that it sells in the raining
towns one dollar per barrel higher than any
other brand ever ottered in the market.
CHARGES.—Grinding Wheat, £ cent lb;
sacking Flour, 50 cents "Jjl bbl.; grinding Bar
lev, cent lb.
Below will be found the opinion of well
known merchants and bakers concerning the
Stanislaus Mills Flour:
We have always made it a point in our busi
ness to secure for our customers the best of
Flour, to be found in the State, and have used
Horner’s Golden Gate, Stockton City Mills, San
Joaquin Pilot, Santa Clara, Alviso, and numer
ous other brands, and for the past five months
have used exclusively the Stanislaus Mills Flour,
and without hesitation pronounce it far superior
to any we have ever used, and fully equal, to
give it age, to the celebrated brand's of Rich
mond, Haxall and Gallcgo.
McKENTY k CHURCH,
KNAPP & CO.
Columbia, Feb. I, 185 G.
Messrs. Locke & Co.— Gentlemen' :—Having
heard the Stanislaus Mills Flour so highly spo
ken of, I was induced to try it in my Bakery,
having obtained a parcel from Messrs. Hcstres
& Co., of this place, I gave it a trial, and to my
great surprise 1 found it equal in every respect,
except age, to the Haxall and Gallego, and if
you will let it remain in the store four months
after grinding, I will use it altogether if you
will furnish me at the same price I can obtain
Haxall and Gallego.
A. GALL, Massachusetts Bakery.
Stockton, Feb. 12, 1856.
Messrs. Locke & Co.— Gentlemen: —l have
used the Stanislaus Mills Flour in my Bakery,
and find it superior to any California Flour I
have ever used, and I am of opinion that if
stored so as to become of proper age, it will
prove fully equal the Haxall and Gallego
brands. J. M. BUFFINGTON.
Messrs. Locke & Co.— Gentlemen: —We
have sold large quantities of the Stanislaus
Mills brand of Flour and take pleasure in stat
ing that it is equal to any manufactured in the
State. Some of our customers, who are
bakers, we supply with it altogether.
TOOMY & O’KEEFE,
San Francisco Stores.
Columbia, Feb. 1, 1856.
This is to certify that I have used in my
trade the Stanislaus Mills Flour, and have no
hesitancy in saying it is equal to any manufac
tured in the State.
J. A. JACKSON.
Columbia, Feb. 4, 1856.
This is to certify that we have sold the Stan
islaus Mills Flour to Miners, Restaurants and
Families, severally, and, in every instance,
have their united testimony to its superior
quality over all other brands of sack Flour.
H. N. BROWN & CO.
Columbia, Feb. 1, 1856.
Springfield, January 1, 1856.
Messrs. Locke & Co.— Gentlemen: —The
Stanislaus Mills brand of Flour is far superior
to any we have ever used, and we recommend
all who want a beautiful white flour, to buy it.
WM. COCHRAN & CO.
Sonora, Feb. 1, 1856.
We have sold over 1,000 barrels of the Stan
islaus Mills Flour and found it the best sack
flour in the State.
STREET BROS.
Sonora, Feb. 1. 1856.
We have used the Stanislaus Mills Flour and
found it equal to any in the State.
E. RICHARDS.
Shaw’s Flat, Feb. 1, 1856.
I have been selling Flour for the past six

Flour the best in the State.

DR. L. J. CZAR KAY’S
Grand Medical and Surgical Institute.
Armory Hall Building, corner of Montgomery
and Sacramento streets, San Francisco.
Established for the permanent cure of all private and
chronic diseases and the suppression of quackery.
DR. L. J CZAPKAY, late in the Hungarian
Revolutionary War, Chief Physician to
the 20th Regimentof Honveds, Chief Surgeon to
the Military Hospital at Pesth, Hungary, and
late lecturer ou diseases of the urinary organs
and diseases of women and children, has open
ed his institute for the cure of all forms of pri
vate diseases, such as syphilis, gonorrhoea,
nocturnal emissions, and all the consequences
of self abuse. In the first stages of syphilitic or
gonorrhoeal diseases, he guarantees a cure
in a few days, without inconvenience to the
patient or hindrance to his business. When a
patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has
developed the symptoms of secondary syphilis,
such ds painful swelling of the groins, or ulcers
in the throat or nose, which, if not checked,
destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to
mortify, separate and come away leaving the
sufferer hideous to behold ; or when splotches
or pimples break out upon the skin, or when
he has painful swellings upon the bones, or
when his constitution is injured so as to
predispose to consumption or constitutional
disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks
no compensation.
In rheumatism, chronic or acute, in dysentery
or diarrhoea, he has safe and effectual reme
dies. For the treatment of the consequences
of self-abuse, such as nocturnal emissions,
nervousness, timidity, headache, pains in the
back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of
appetite, loss of memory, injury to the sight,
restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike to so
ciety, and a feeling of weariness of life, with
the nervous system so excitable that slight
noises shock or startle the patient, making his
existence 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 may be much to their ad
vantage.
Thankfulness is the incentive to Gratitude.
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 ca
ses and the remedial agent; and their state
ments are authentidated by a Notary Public.
The demands of society imperiously command
their publicity, and we commend their perusal
to the attention of all afflicted:
CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned, desirous ofacquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly
afflicted where a permanent relief of their suf
ferings may be obtained, feels it his duty to
thus publicly express his sincere gratitude to
Dr. L. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery
of his health. Borne down by the distressing
symptoms incident to the vicious practices of
uncontrollable passion in youth, depressed in
body and mind, unable to perform even the
most trifling duty imposed upon the daily avo
cations of life, I sought the advice of many phy
sicians, who first regarded my disease of trifling
importance, but, alas! after a few weeks, and
in several instances months, of their treatment,
I found, to ray unutterable horror, that instead
of relief the symptoms became more alarming
in their torture, and being finally told by one
that the disease, being principally confined to
the brain, medicines would be of little conse
quence, I despaired of ever regaining my health,
strength and energy; and as a last resort, and
with but a faint hope, called upon Dr. L. J.
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, pre
scribed 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 his directions and
advice, my head became clear, my ideas col
lected, the constant pain in my back and groins,
the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction
of my whole system on the slightest alarm or
excitement, the misanthropy and evil forebod
ings, the self-distrust and want of confidence in
others, the incapability to study and want of
resolution, the frightful, exciting, and at times
pleasurable dreams at night, followed by invol
untary discharges have ail 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 contem
plated to end by my 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. Czapkay, and recommend
him to all who may stand in need of medical

A CARD.—I the undersigned having been
under the treatment of Dr. L. J. Czapkay,
although unsolicited, feel called upon to give
publicity to the efficacy of his treatment hoping
that by so doing I may be instrumental in pre
venting others from the fearful suffering and
misery which I experienced, and which so often
result from the pernicious practices of pretend
ers. My disease has been that of physical and
mental debility, which follows in consequence
of the indiscretion in youth. The agonies which
I endured are, perhaps unnecessary for me to
detail, they are known to those who have ex
perienced them, suffice it to say, that having
called the services of Dr. L. J. Czapkay in re
quisition, all my expectations which I may have
formed of him were more than realized. I
would therefore recommend Dr. Czapkay to all
who may find themselves affiicted with that
dreadful malady, my object in so doing being
sympathy for suffering humanity, and a heart
felt desire of relieving them.

The treatment pursued by the justly celebrated
Dr. J. C. \oung, incases of seminal weakness
impotency, sterility, nervous debility and pa
ralysis, (the last is the most dangerous, and
when it once occurs, incurable.) is not surpass
ed by any Physican in the country. It is the
same as that followed by him for years, under
the guidance of the world-rcnouned Ricord of
Paris, and Acton of London. Dr. Young’s office
is at the corner of Montgomery and California
Streets, where he can be consulted on that and
all other private diseases, with the utmost con
fidence and secrecy. Dr. Young will warrant
a perfect cure, or make no charge.

IMPORTANT to Miners, Travelers, dbc.
There Is no malady of deeper importance,
either in a 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 object should be to miti
gate, as far as lies in'.his power, the bodily suf
fering. 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 of a private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it, —
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu
tion, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater im
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes 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, wfcose respectability and education
enables him to warrant a safe, speedy and per
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi
ty. DR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers iu the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous Eruptions, Ulcera
tions, Tertiary Syphilis, Syphilis in Children,
Mercurial Syphilitic Affections, Gonorrhoea,
Gleet, Strictures, False Passages, Inflammation
of the Bladder and Prostrate Glands, Excoria
tions, Tumors, Pustules, etc., are as familiar to
him as the most common things of daily obser
vation.
The Doctor effects a cure in recent cases in a
few days, and finds no difficulty in curing those
of long duration, without submitting the pa
tient to such treatment as will draw upon him
the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to neglect
his business, whether within doors or without.
The diet need not be changed, except in cases
of severe inflammation. There are in California,
patients, (amounting to over two thousand in
the past year,) that could furnish proof of this ;
but these are matters that require the nicest
secrecy, which lie always preserves.
All letters inclosing $lO, will he promptly
attended to. Office hours from 9A. M., to 8

Constitutional Debility or Scmincl Weakness.
DR. YOUNG addresses those who have injur
ed themselves by private anti improper indul
gences 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 produc
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back ancl limbs, pain in the head, dimness
of sig|*l, loss of muscular power, palpitation of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability,
derangement of the digestive functions, general
debility, symptoms of consumption, kc.
Mentally —The fearful effects upon the mind
ace more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, self-distrust, love
of solitude, timidity, kc., are most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of
the above symptoms should not foil to call on
Dr. \ oung, 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
maladv.

Volcano, July Ist, 1856.
Dn. Young :— Feeling grateful to you for your
kindness and skill in removing from my body
the effects of a most loathsome disease, under
which I had been laboring for the past five
years, I deem it my duty —not only to you as a
physician, but for the benefit of all persons
who may be laboring under similar afflictions
— thus publicly to express my gratitude. I
had very little confidence left when I first call
ed on you, having .chosen several eminent phy
sicians in this State, all to no purpose. Their
advice and medicines done me no good what
ever. I read your advertisements with feelings
ofmistrust but they described my feelings so
faithfully, that I resolved at once to consult
you, which I did. and only regret that I had
not done so before, as it would have been a
saving to me of hundreds of dollars I how
ever, will not regret the past, but will look joy
fully to the future, knowing that should I or
Z° ] my f « ie ° ds need medical assistance, I
shall always find one in whom I can trust I
am now on my way to the States. I shall re
