• Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions.' — Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. CNOME patients suffering- from nervous affections are K3 afraid from sheer hashfulness 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 hahits of life, and the nature of the disease they suffer 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 nervous diseases to a personal consultation. Where, however, a disease is of a peculiar and except tional character, a personal consultation may become necessary; but my success in correspondence is so great, that of the thousands upon thousands whom I have treated by letter during 1 the last 32 years, not a single mistake has ever occurred— not a case has ever been marie public — in fact, the very simplicity of my I system of correspondence prevents publicity. At tho 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 i me and been blessed and heir married lives made fruitful and hnppy? How many wasted ruinf d youths of both sexes have also been restored to healtn, and thanked their manhood for having consulted me by leter ? How many questions arise where the family physician is ivnablo to unravel the case, and whei'e oiten the patient linp-ers on, not dariDg to tell his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, until consumption, wasting 1 , or mental disease set in, and the sufferer gets beyond the curable stage, and i« left a hopeless wreck V A letter written in the privacy of the room and dropped in the post-box reaches me quietly ; het 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 ot his case. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed, and ho is comparatively a new man I in fact, in many cases, a new being altogether. I The only addition to the ordinary written letter is j 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 cam, and it often solves what appears as an impenetrable mystery. Many a sad 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, aud 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 jiassions. To these I say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an expert, 1113' time may not be always at your service, you can, by simply enclosing one pound, have the benefit of jny experience in the same manner as if I lived in your town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy. -Yours uly, LOUIS L.
