' Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth iv strange eruptions/— Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. patients suffering from nervous affections are )>C7 afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to pebsonallt consult a medical man-mother patients have not thu 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 suifer from. Let such person (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of their own apartments, and with calm minds describe clearly each symptom of their case, a clear statement thus written, and laid before me, is far preferable in kehvous diseases to a personal consultation. Where, however, a disease is of a peculiar and exceptional character, a personal consultation may become necessary; but my success in correspondence is so great, that of the thousands upon thousands whom I ha\ c treated by letter during: the last 32 years, not a i single mistake has ever occurred — not a case, has 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 joy to ? How many have been enabled to enter into the marriage state through consulting me ? How many after marriage have privately consulted \ me and been blessed and heir married lives made fruitful and happy ? i How many wasted ruined youths of both sexes have j also been restored to health, and thanked their manhood for having consulted me, by letter? How many questions arise where the family physician is unable to -unravel the case, and where often the patient lingers on, not daring to tell his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, until consumption, wasting, or mental disease 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 post-box reaches me quietly; the answer is returned as quietly and unostentatiously, and the patient, without stepping from his chamber, except . to post his letter, is by return of post in full possession of the nature oi his case. His hopes are raised, his doubrs removed, and he is comparatively a new man in fact, in many cases, a new being altogether. The only 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 thousands of cases in daily life where a consultation with one at a distance will remove by a single letter a great fear, a great care, and it often solves what appears as an impenetrable mystery. Many a sa* heart has been made joyful 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 prejudices ; to those, more especially, who have suffered in early years from disease, or have yielded to their passions. To these I say, at once, consult with me, do not , tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an expert, my time may not be always at your service, you can, by simply enclosing oiie pound, have the benefit of my experience in the same manner as if I lived in your town, and with. the. additional advantage of thorough privacy.— Yours uly, LOUIS L.
