A- Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions."— Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. SOME patients suffering from nervon3 affections are afraid from sheer bashful - ness and modesty to fbbsokallt consult a medical man— other patients hare not the self-possession and coolness when in the consulting rooai to accurately describe their symptoms— their habits of life, and the nature of the disease they suffer from. Let such persons (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of their own compartments, and with calm minds describe clearly each symptom of their case, » clear statement thus written, and laid before me, ia fur preferable in hbrtous 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 I thousands whom I have treated by letter during the last 32 years not a single mistake has ever occurred, not a case haß ever been made public — in fact, the very simplicity of my system of correspondence prevents pubic ity. At the Bame 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 hare been enabled to enter into the married state through consulting me ? How many after marriage have privately consulted me and been blessed, and their married livrs made fruitful and happy ? How many wasted ruined youths of both sexi s have 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 bis family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, until consumption, wasting, or mental diseases «etin, 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 unost' neat inusly, and the patient, without stepping from his chamber, except to post his letter, is by return of post put in full possession of the nature of his case. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed, and he is comparatively a new roan — in fact, in many cases, a new bemg 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 wi'h one at a distance will remove, by a single letter, a great fear, a greet care, and it often solves what appears as an impenetrable mys cry. 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 ■ay consult me before doing so, and thus prevent many after troubles, and remove many unnecessary fears and prejudice-; to those, more especially who have suffered in early years from disease, or who 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 one pound, hare the benefii of my experience in the same manner as if 1 lived in your own town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy. — Yours truly, LOUIS L.
