Diseased Nature oftentimes bre . forth In strange eruptions."— Act ill a Scene 1. " ; mO T fl E P U B L I O. Some patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to 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 suoh persons (he or she) sit quietly down In the privacy of their own apart! ments, and with calm minds describe clearly eaoh Bympton of their case. A cleat statement thus written, and laid before me, Is fa preferable In nervous diseases to a personal consultation. Where, how] ever, a d°sease la of a peculiar and excep tlonal ohlaracter, a personal eonsultatlr may become necessary ; but my suocess n correspondence 1b bo 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, no acaae has ever been made public— in factthe very simplicity of my system of respondence 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 brough joy to t How many have been enabled to entei nto 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 both sexes have also been restored 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 llngeil on, not daring to tell his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint; untlj consumption wasting, or mental diseases set In, and the sufferer gets beyond the curable stage, and Is left a hopeleti wreok A. letter written In the privacy of the room, and dropped In the post box reaches mequletly; theanswerisreturnedasquletly 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 oases, a new being alto gether. ' , ■ . The only addition to the ordinary written letter Is the age, occupation habits and symptoms, nothing more. Tbi usual consultation fee of LI (one pound) must be enclosed, otherwise no answer wU| be returnee. ■, There are thousands of cases 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] Many a sad heart has been made joyfoi on receipt of an explanatory letter from me. To thoße who. are about to many, would say consult me before doing so, atd thus prevent many after troubles, and re] move 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 ex perlence 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, 18«, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE. COHBULTATIOK FEE BY LETTER. £1. Fee for personal Consultation, LI. la. The latter is inclusive of Medicine.
