Medical. Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions."— Act' .iii Scene 1. mo T H E • P U B LIC Some patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashfuf- - ness and modesty to personally 'censult-i medical man— other patients have not.tfie self-possession and coolness when in the consulting room,' to accurately describe their symptoms— their habits of life, and the nature of the disease theysuffer from Let such persons (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of their own apart ments, an d with calm minds describe clearly each sympton of their case. 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 of the thousands upon thousands whom I have treated by letter during the last 32 years, not a single mistake has ever occurred, no' a case has ever been made public— in fact the very simplicity of my system of cor respondence prevents publicity. . ' At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy de tection. . How many thousands havel'b'rought joy to 1 How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting me? . : . . . yV ■ 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 thanked their .manhood^ for having consulted me by letter. How many questions arise where the family physician is unable to unravel the case, and where often the. patient lingerl on, not daring to tell his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, junti, consumption wasting, or mental diseases 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 b'ox^reaches mequietly; the answeris returned as quietly and unostentatiously, and the patient without stepping from his chamber, except to post his letter, is by return of post and in full possession of the nature of his'case. His hopes are raised, bis doubts removed, and he is comparatively a new. man; hi fact, in many, cases, a new, being, alto gether. ■..-•■ The only addition to the ordinary written letter is the age, occupation, habits and symptoms, nothing more. The usual consultation fee of Ll (one pound) must be enclosed, otherwise no answer wiL be returned. There are thousands of cases in daily life where a consultation with one at ai distance, will remove by a single letter, a great fear, a great care, and it often solve' what appears as an impenetrable mystery) Many a sad heart has been made joyfm on receipt of an explanatory letter from me. To those who are about to marry, would say consult me before doing b(s and thus prevent many after troubles, an|fremove many unnecessary fears", and, prei* judices; to those, more especially who\ have Buffered in early years from disease, \ or who have yielded to their passions : to these I say, at once, 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. —Yours, truly, - .;: LOUIS L.
