Medical. \- Diseased Nature oftentimes bre . forth In strange eruptions."— Actiii a Scene 1. ■ V mO T HE 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 patlenta have not the seLf-posseßslon and coolness when in the consulting room, to accurately desorlbe their symptoms^-thelr habits of life, and the nature of the disease they suffer from Let such persons (he or she) alt quietly down In the privacy of their own apart! ments, and with calm minds describe dearly each sympton of their case. A clear statement thus written, and laid before me, Is fa preferable In nervous diseases to a pers r nal consultation. Where, how!] ever, a disease is of a peculiar and exeep tlonal chlaracter, a personal eonsultatlr may become necessary ; but my success n correspondence 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 occurred, no acase has ever been made public — In fact* the very simplicity of my system of respondence prevents publicity. At the same time medicines are sent to my patlenta In each a form as to defy de] tectlon. How many thousands have I broueh joy to? How many have been enabled to enter 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 Ungert on, not daring to tell his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, nntli consumption wasting, or mental diseases set In, and the anfferer gets beyond tba curable stage, and la left a hopeleti wreck A letter written In the privacy of the room, and dropped in the post box reaches mequletly; theanswerlsreturnedasquletly and unostentatiously, and the patient without stepping from hla chamber, except to post his letter, is by return of post and In fall possession of the nature of his case. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed and he Is comparatively anew man; act, In many oases, a new being alto gether, „•■■••■.•>. . • • . ; The only addition to the ordinaif 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 wllg be returned. ' There are thousands of cases In dally Ufa where a consultation with one at a dia* tance, will remove by a single letter, • great fear, a great care, and It often solve* what appears as an Impenetrable mystery] Many a sad heart has been madejoyfai 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 ie] move many unnecessary fears and prej judlces ; to those, more especially who have suffered In early years from disease, or who have yielded to their pasaiona : to these I say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an expert, my time may hot be always at your service, yon can, by simply enclosing 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.
