A clear statement thus written, and laid before me, is far preferable in 'nervous diseases to a personal consultation.: Where,'how ever, a disease is of a peculiar and excep tional .character, a; personal, consultation may become necessary ; but my success in correspondence is so geeat, that -off the thousands upon thousands whom I have treated by letter duriiig th^last 32 years, not a single mistake-has ever occurred, no acase has ever been ; made public—in fact the very simplicity of my system of tor respondence, prevents publicity. ; At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy detection. . • •., .->•■ . • .•■.:_• (■ How many thousands have I brough joy to? ! j • How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting me?
