A letter written in the privacy of the room, and droppedinthe post box reaches me quietly ; the answer is returned as quietly and unostentatiously, and the patient without-stepping from his chamber, except to posthis letter, is by return 6£ post put in full possession of the nature of his case. His hopes are raised,, his doubts removed, and he is comparatively anew man; in fact, in many, cases, a new being altogether. ; : : • The only addition to the ordinary written letter is the age, /occupation, habits arid syniptpms,'. nothing rnpre.

Many a sad heart has been macie joyful on receipt of an explanatory letter from 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, joapre especially who have suffered;iri early .years' from disease, or who have yielded to their passions : to these I say,, at. price,. consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an expert, my time may not be always a . your service, you can, by simply enclosing one pound, have the benefit of. my experience in the same manner, as if I lived in your own town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy:-r-Yours. truly, &l.
