Medical. Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions." — Act ii Scene 1. ■ ' mo T ; HE P U B LI C Some patients suffering trom nervous affections are afraid from shW bashful ness and modesty to personally censult a medical man— other patients have not the self-possession and coolnieis 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 sympton of their case. A clear statement thus written, and laid before ..me, 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, who.m I have treated by letter during the last" 32 years, riot a single mistake has eyerioccurred, not a case has ever been made public— in fael, the very simplicity of *my system of correspondence prevents publicity, jAt the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy de tection. .

A letter written in the priyacy of the room, and dropped in the post box reaches me quietly ; the answer is returned as quietly and. unostentatiously, arid , the patient without stepping from his chamber, except to post his letter, ia by return of poßt and in full possession of the nature, of his case.

The usual consultation fee. of LI (one pound) must be enclosed, otherwise no answer wwitl t be returned. . ; There are thousands of cases in "daily life where a consultation with one at a die* tance, will remove by a single letter, a great fear, a great care, and it often solve 1 what appears as an impenetrable mystery) 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 remove many unnecessary fears and pre] judices ; to those, more especially who have suffered in early years from disease, or who have yielded to their passions : tc these I say, at once, consult with me, do 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, LOUIS L.
