" Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions."—-Act. 3, scene 1 TO THE PUBLIC. ■; patients suffering from nervous O affections are "afraid, ; from sheer bashfulni:s3 .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, s y : Let such person (he or sh?) sit quietly down in the privacy ot their. :'o7*n apartment?,. and with calm . mintiß describe clearly each symptom oftheir case A clear, statemant tlms vmtten and laid before me is far preferable in, neryous diseases to a personal consultation \Vhere, h >weyer, t.he disease is of and exceptional character a personal uorsuUation may become necessary; • but my success in correspondence is "so great that of the thousands upon thousands whom I Have treated' by letter during the last 30 years uot a single mistake has ever occurred—nor a cate h..s ever been made public—in fact; 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 detection How many thousands have I not brought 4 joy to? How many have been enabled to, enter into the marriage state through consulting me ? How many, after marriage, have privately eonsulted 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 havins consultod me by letter ? How many questions arise where the family physician is unable to unravel the ease, and where often the patien lingers on, not daring to tell his family medical the nature of his complaint, until consumption, wasting or mental diseases set in and the sufferer gets rbeyond the curable stage and is left a hopeless wreck ? , A letter, written m the privacy of the room and dropped in the post-box, reaches me quietly ; and the answer is returned as quietiy and unostentatiously ; and the patient, without stepping from his chamber excepting to post his letter, is by ret urii of post in full possession of (he nature of.his case. Jlis hopes a-e raised, bis doubts removed and he is comparatively a new being altogether. The ouly addition to the ordinary written letter is the age, occupation, habits and symptoms—nothing more. The usual consultation-fee of £1 (one pound) must be enclosed, otherwise no answer will be returned. There are tfcoaßands of cases occurring daiiy m which a consultation with one at a distance will remove by a single letter a great fear, a great care, and i.ftcn solve what appears as an impenetrable mystery. Many a sad heart has been made joyful on _rtcfiipt.of an explanatory letter from me. . To those who are about to marry I would say: Consult me before doing: so, and thus prevent many after-troubles arid rim ..ve many unnecessary tars and piejudices To those—moru especially those who have suffered in t-arly years irom disease or who have yieided to their passion—to these 1 say : At once consult with me; do not tarry; «elays aredangerous and, as *n expert, my time may not always be at j'o:ir service You can, by simply enclosing one pound, have the benefit of my exp'Hiir.nce in tlie same manner as it I live) in your own town, and with the additional advanlage of thorough privacy —Yours truly, .LOUIS L SMITH Address : Dr Louis L Smith, 2, Collins street East, Melbourne Consultation Fee, by letter, £1 Fee for personal Consullation, £1 Is 'l'he latter is inclusive of Med'.cino Medicines forwarded, well-packed, to the Colonies, India aud Europe The only legally qualified practitioner advertising and repisieied under the medical Board of Victoria, and practising the past thirty five, j ears FLOUR!
