; '.'* Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions."—Act 3, scene 1 TO THE PUBLIC. 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-rroom, to accurately: describe their symptoms, their habits of life and the nature of the disease they suffer from. , - Let such person" (he or ehe) sit quieily down in the privacy ot their own apart- ,' rnents, and with calm minda describe clearly each 6ymptom of their case A clear statement.thus written and laid before, me is far preferable in nervous diseases to a personal consultation Wherei ;'■ however, the disease is of a peculiar and exceptional character a personal uonsultation- 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 not a single mistake has ever occurred—nor a case has ever been made public—in fact, the very simplicity of my system of correspondence prevents pubjlicity _ _ | "' At the same time, medicines are sent to ( my patients in such a form as to defy .detection How many thousands have I I not brought joy to ? How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting me ? How many, after marriage, have privately eonsuited me and been blessed and their married lives made fruitful and happy? How many wasted v ruined youths of both sexes have also been restored to health and thanked their manhood for havintr consultod me by letter ? Howmany questions arise where the family physician is unable to unravel the case, and where often the patien lingers on, ndt 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 hopeless wreck ? A letter, written in the privacy of the room and dropped in the po3t-box, reaches me quietly ; and the answer is relumed asquietiy and unostentatiously ; and the patient, without stepping from his chamber • excepting to post his letter, is by return ot • -postin full possession of the nature of his case.- His hopes a'e raised, his doubts removed and he i 3 comparatively a new being altogether. The. only addition to the ordinary written letter is the age, occupation habits and symptoms—nothing more. Theusual consultation-fee of. £l. (one pound) must beenclosedjOtlierwise no answer will be returned. ' There are thousands of cases occurring daiiy. m which a consultation with one at a distance will remove by. a single letter a greatfear, a great tare, and uft-?n solve "what appears as an impenetrable mystery Many a sad heart has been made joy Jul on receipt 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 and remove many unnecessary fears and judices, To i hose—more especially those who have suffered in early years from disease or who have yielded to their passion—to these I say: At onre consult with me; do not tarry; delays aredangerous and, as nn.expert, my time may not always be at your service Tou 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, LOUIS L SMITH Address : Dr Louis L Smith, 2, Collins street East, Melbourne Consultation Fee, by letter, £1 Fee for personal Consultation, £1 Is Ihe latter is inclusive of Medicine Medicines forwarded, well-packed, to the Colonies, India and Europe, The only legally qualified practitioner advertising and registered under the medical Board of Victoria, and practising the past thirty five jears FLOUR!
