Some patients suffering trom nervous affections are -afraid from sheer bashful ness and modesty Itoj personally consult 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 apartjj 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, howj 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 fad, the very simplicity of my Bystem of correspondence prevents publicity/ At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy de tection. How many thousands have I brough joy to ? 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 his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, nnti. consumption wasting, or mental diseases set in, and the sufferer gets beyond the curable stage, and is left r $ wreck^ ". ;-; /; ■ •! ; / i'\ [ A letter written in the ' privacy 6f the room, and dropped in the post box reaches mequietly; theanswerisreturnedasquietly and unostentatiously, and the patient without stepping from his chamber, except to post Mb letter, is by return of post and in fall possession of the nature of his case. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed, j and he is comparatively a new 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 Ll (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 lsoive % what appears as an unpenetrable mystery] Many a sad heart has been/ made joyfm 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 removo 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 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,.
