CONSULTATION BY LETTER. F e e_« ONE POUND." DR. L. L. SMITH, 192, BOURKE STREET EAST, MELBOURNE THERE are many patients who, although not dissatisfied with their MedicalAtte'ndants,yetaredesirous of submitting their case to onewliom they know must, from his.prominent position, as the leading medical practitioner of Victoria, have had a thorough practical and cosmopolitan experiense with Disease in every variety of form and'eharacter. If it is true that " practice makes perfect," patients can be assured that Dr. L. L. Smith, with the large practice (which no one denies he has possessed for the last ten years in these colonies, and still possesses in an increased degree each succeeding year), must have had firesented to his experience Diseases in its most varied me. Cases that have baffled the skill of the family Physician, and tho most eminent Surgeons of the day, as a last resource are referred to him either by cousulattion, by letter, or brought down to his Hospital to be placed under his immediate treatment. A large branch of his practice is devoted exclusively to Nervous and Syphilitic discasts, and the symptoms of diseases arising therefrom. In these cases he is frequently consulted as a dernier resource, the poor patient often presenting the spectacle of a debilitated emaciated being, tlie result of having placed himself under the treatment of, perhaps, a legally qualified practitioner, and one every way skilful in the general routine of his profession, but who has never made these diseases his peculiar study, or had the opportunities of practice in these branches of his profession The same remarks hold good with respect to" the diseases of females. There are yearly thousands of both married and single ladies falling victims to the want of a just diagnosis of tlieir complaint. The vbseuritv of the disease of the ■uteris is proverbial, and un less a thorough amount of practical skill, both hi the diagnosis as well as also in the treatment, is brought to bear on the disease, the unfortunate patient sucenmbs to it, or the treatment, or drags on a weaiy wretched existence a burden to herself, her husband, and to all her relations and friends. Many thus circumstanced do not from a morbid sense of delicacy consult a medical man; to such, the plan of consultation by letter, adopted by Dr. L. L. Smith, is of great utility Tbere are also many question's in married life that should be answered, such is the cause why married life is a burden and a curse, rather than a round of continual happiness and mutual enjoyment. The harmony of many a family has been brought about by Dr. L. L. Smith, through the elucidation ofsomething that bore the appearance of mystery, but by a consultation, either by letter or personally, has been cleared away. His skill in the treatment of these diseases is fully known. Alone in this colony he has practised, particularly in these diseases, during ten years. At home he was the pupil of Dr. Culverwell, who made these diseases his exclusive practice; and as to his qualifications, he is a Legally Qualified Medical Practitioner and member of the Medical Board of Victoria, and gained the First Physicians' Prize in the knowledge and practice of medicine in the Westminster Hospital, London.
