* Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions.* — Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. patients suffering from nervous affections are I^7 afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to p kiison ally consult a medical man — other patients have notth-) self-possession and coolness when in the consulting room, to accur ttely descri c their symptoms — iheir habits of life, and the nature of the disease tiiey suffer from. Let such person (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of tbeir own apartments, and with calm minds describe clearly each symptom of their case, a clear statement thus written, and laid before me, is far pre« feruble in nervous diseases to a personal consultation; : Where, however, a disease is of «. pecuiiar- and exceptional character, a personal consultation may become necessary ; bu f my success in correspondence is so great, that of he thousands upon thousands whom. I ha* c treated \,y letter during the last 32 years, not a single mi&ttike has ever occurred— not a case has ever beei. inaoe public — in fact, the very simplicity of my syxtem of correspondence prevents publicity. At the same lime medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy detection. . Bow many thousands have I not "brought joy to ? How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consul' ing me P How many after marriage bave privately consulted, ' me and been blessed and heir married lives made fruitful and h.ippy? How many wasted ruinpd youths of both sexes have also been restored to health, and thanked then, manhood for having consulted me by let f-r ? How many questions arise where the family physician ■ is unable to unravel ihe case, and where often, the patient lingers on, not dari' g to tell his family medical advist-r the nnture of his complaint, until consumption! wasting, or mental disease set in, and the sufferer gets beyond the curable stiige, and i* left a hopeless wreck? A letter written in the pr'vacy of the room and dropped in the post-box reaches me quietly; the M.wer is returned as quietly an 1 unostentatiously, and . tbe patient, without stepping from his chamber, except to post his letter, is by returu of post in full possession i of the nature ot his case. Hin hopes are raised, his - doub.s removed, and he is comparatively a new man . in fact, in many cases, a new being altogether. Ihe only addition to the ordinary written letter. is the a^e, occupation, habits and symptoms, nothing - more. The usual consultation fee of £1 (one pound) ' muvfc be enclosed, otherwise no answer will be returned. There are tbousauds of cases in daily life where a consultation with one at a' distance will remove by a single letter a great fear, a great car<_, and it oftensolves what appears as an impenetrable mystery. Many y a _ad h"arthas been made joyful ou recnipt of an ex- '„ planatory 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 prejudices -, to those, more espscially, who have suf-, fered iv early yc-rs from disease, or have yieldedto - their passions. To tbese I say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays ure dangerous, and as an expert, my time may not be always at yonr service, you can, by simply enclosing one pouu<i, have the benefit of my experience in the same niinuer as ii I lived in your town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy.— Yours ruly, LOuIS L.
