"Diseased Nature of tea tin vs hn vi 'tm f<n:t in strange c*upii^«s."—A.Qt iii, Sceuel, TO TliE PUBLIC. SOME patienta sutf eriug from nervous affections arc afraid f mm sheer baahfalnesa and modesty to msesonally consult a medical man — other patients havo not the self-posses-sion and coolness when in the consulting room '■■ to accurately describe their Bymptoma — their habits of life, and the nature of thja disease they suffer from. - Let such person (he or *»he)sit quietly down in the privacy of weir own apartments, and with calni minds describe clearly each. *vmplom of their case, a clear statement thus vntten, and laid before me, is far preferab* WBBVOxra diseases to a personal oonsultotio Where, however, a disease is of a peculia aad exceptional character, a personal consultation may become necessary ; but my sucoest in oonespondenoe is so great, that of the thousands upon thousands whom I have treated by letter during the last 34 years, not a single mistake has ever occurred—not a case has ever been made public— in fact^ the very eimplioity of my system of correspondence prevents publicity '.■■•' At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in suoh a form as to defy detection. • How many thousands have I not brought joytoP How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting me f How many after marriage have privately consulted me and been blessed and their married lives made fruitful and happy. How many wasted ruined youths of both sexes have also been restored to health, and have thanked their manhood for having consuited me by letter. How many questions arise where the family is unable to unravel the case, and .where often the patient lingers on, ' not daring to tell his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, until consumption, wasting, or mental disease set in, and the sufferer gets beyond the curable stage, and is left a hopeless wreck. • . A letter written in the privacy of the room and dropped in the post-box reaohes me quietly ; the answer is returned as quietly and unostentatiously, and the patient, without stepping from his chamber, except to po3t his letter, is by -.re turn of poTdrtorfxdt possession of the nature of his case. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed, and he is comparatively a new man ; in f aot, in many oases, a new being altogether. The only addition to the ordinary written letter is the age, occupation, habits And symptoms, nothing more. The usual consultation fee of £1 (one pound) must be enclosed, otherwise no answer will be returned. There are thousands of oases in daily life where a consultation with one at a distance will remove by a single letter, a great fear, a great care, and it often solves what appears as an impenetrable mystery. Many a sad heart has been matte joyful on receipt of an explanatory letter from me. To those who are about to marry, I would say, consult me before doing so, and thus prevent many after troubles, and remove many unnecessary fears and prejudices; to those, more especially, who have suffered in early years from disease, or have yielded to their passions. To these I say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an«xpert, my time may not be always at your service, you can, by simply enclosing one pound, have the benefit of my experience in the same manner as if I lived in you? town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy. — Yours, truly, .
