Medical. Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions/' — Aog ii Scene 1. mO THE PUBLIC Some patients suffering from nervpua affections are afraid from sheer bashful ness and modesty to personally consult a medical man — other patients have not the self-poasession 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 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 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 fee*, the very simplicity of my system of cor« respondence prevents publicity, f i At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy de] tection. How many thousands have I' brought joy to? How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state throughconsulting ■ me? ■•. ■■■;■.: How many after marriage have privately consulted me and been blessed; and their married lives made fruitful and How many wasted ruined: youths of both sexes have also been restored to health, and thanked their manhood, foi having consulted me by letter. '■■•_ How, many questions arise where the family physician is unable to 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 mequietly; the answerisreturnedasquietly and unostentatiously, and the patient without stepping from his chamber, except to post hia 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 a new man ; in fact, in many cases, a new beings 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 wwitl t 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 solvewhat 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; prej 'judices ; to those, more especially "who have suffered 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 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.
