i Medical. Diseased Nature oftentimes r break forth in strange eruptions. s '— Ace ii . Scene 1. , i; : mO THE PUBLIC Some patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer ness and modesty to personally cens'ult a medical man — other patients have not the self-possession and coolness when in the ■consulting room, to accurately describe thfeir 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 j 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 andexceptional 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 sent to my patients in such a form as to defy de tection. r ' How many thousands have .L-brought joy to? :'. ;; , -How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting me? ... . : . '. y.'.L] ■ How many after marriage have privately consulted me and been blessed, and their married lives made fruitful and happy. ." . r How many wasted ruined youths of both sexes have also been restored to health, and thanked -their manhood, for having consulted me by letter. r How many questions arise where the family physician is unable tq. unravel the case, and where often the patient linger! 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 in the privacy of the room, and dropped in the post box reaches me quietly; the answerisreturhedasquietly and unostentatiously, and they 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, his doubts 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 4 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 1 solve what appears as an impenetrable mystery Many a sad heart has been made joyfru 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 i 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.
