IHedical. Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions." — Act ii. Scene 1. mO THE PUBLIC Some patients suffering trom nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashful ness and modesty to personally cansult 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 sympton of their case. A clear statement thus written, and- Jaid before me, is far preferable in negybus diseases to a personal consultation, how ever, a disease is of a peculiarlbnd exceptional' character, a personal consultation may become necessary ; but my success in correspondence is so geeat, that of the thouaanda upon thouaanda 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 dej tection. How many thousands have I brouah joy to ? 6 How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting me? 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 bis family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, unti. consumption wasting, or mental diseases act 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 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 a new man j 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 dis-. tance, will remove by a single letter, a great fear, a great care, and it oftensolve' what appears as an impenetrable myateryj 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 remova 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 : to these I say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerouß, 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. SMITH. Address — Dr. L" L. SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE. Consultation Fee by Lettee, £1. Fee for personal Consultation, LI Is. The latter is inclusive of Medicine.
