Medical. Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions." — Aco iii Scene 1. mo THE PUBLIC Some patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashful - ness and modesty to personally censult a medical man— other patients have not the self-possession and coolness when in the consulting room, to accurately describe their symptoms— their habits of. life, and the nature of the disease they suffer from Let such persons (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of their own apart! ments, and with calm minds describe clearly each symptonof their case. A clear statement thus written, and laid beforeme, is far. preferable in nervous diseases to a personal consultation. Where, however, a disease is of a peculiar and exceptional 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, not a case has ever been made public— in fac<, the very simplicity of my system of correspondence prevents publicity. At the same time medicines are aent to my patients in such a form as to defyidej tection. How many thousands have I brought joy to? How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting 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 Uiigerl on, not daring to tell > his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, unti. consumption wasting, or mental diseases set in, and the sufferer "gets beyond the curable stage, and is left a hopeless wreck A. letter written inthe privacy of the room, and dropped in the post box reaches me quietly; the answer is returned as quietly and unostentatiously, and the patient without stepping from his chamberV except to post his letter, is by return {of post and in full possession of the nature* of his caae. His hopes are raised, his doubfa removed, and he is comparatively anew man; in 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 LI (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 a distance, will remove by a single letter, a great fear, a great care, and it often solve* what appears as an impenetrable mystery j Many a sad heart has been made joyftu on receipt of an explanatory letter from me. To those who are- about to marry, ; would say consult me before doing, so, and thus 'prevent many after troubles, and T6?" move many unnecessary fears and |p*e]£ judices ; to those, more especially -^whY have suffered in early years from disease, or who have yielded to their passions : to these I say, at once, consult with me, dp not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an expert, 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 your own town, and with, the additional advantage of thorough privacy. — Yours, truly, .
