Some patients suffering from nervou* affections rare nafraidr fromsheer bashfulness and modesty to personally consult a medical man— other patfenta T have not the self-possession and [coolness wheh r in the consulting room, ; td accurately 1 describe their symptoms— theirTiabits of life, aid the nature of the disease they suffer from" Let such persona (he orshe) sit quieflf down In the. privacy of their own apart* ments, and with calm minds deabribe clearly each sympton of their case. ' A oleai statement thus written, r and flald 'before me, Is fa preferable In nervous diseases to a pers r nal consultation. Where, hoirfl ever, ad°seaseis of a peculiar and excep tional: chiaracter, a personal corisultatlcj may become necessary ; but my success n correapondence-is'so geeat, that of the thousands upon thousands whom I have treated by letter during the last 32 yean, not a single mistake has ever occarred, no acase has ever been made public— ln faotthe very simplicity of rmy system of respondent prevents publlbity. (; At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy des tection.

How many questions arise where the family physician is unable to unravel the case, and where often the patient llngerl on, not daring to tell his family medical adviser. the nature of his complaint, until consumption wasting, or mental diseases set in, and the sufferer gets beyond the curable stage, and is left a hopeleti wreck "■' - - - A letter written In the privacy of the room, and dropped In the post box reaohes mequletly; the anawerlsreturnedasquletly and unostentatiously,- and the patient without stepping from his ohamber, 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 ; act, 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 wH 4 be returnee There are thousands of oases In dally life where a consultation with one at a distance, will remove by a single letter, a great fear, a great care, and It often solve" what appears as an Impenetrable mystery'i Many a sad heart has been made Joyfoi on receipt of an explanatory letter from me. To tnose who are about to marry, would say consult me before doing so, and thus prevent many after troubles, and rej move 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 enoloalng one pound, have the benefit of my ex perience in the same manner, as If I lived in your own town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy.— Yours, truly, LOUIS L.
