A Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth i n strange eruptions."— -Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. SOME patients suffering from nervous affections arc afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to personally cousnlt a mpdical man — other patients, have not the self-possession and coolness when in the consulting room to accurately jdescribe, their symptomß-^.£heir 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, a' clear state* ment thus written, and laid before me, is far.preferable in nervous diseases to a per-i sonal consultation. Where, however, a disease is of a peculiar and exceptional character, a personal consultation may become necessary ; but my succesß in correspondence is so great that of the thousands uppn thousands whom I have treated by letter during the last 32 years not a pingle mistake has ever occurred, npt a case has eyer been made public— in fact, the very simplicity of my system of correspondence prevents pubcity. At the same time' medicines are sent fo my patients in such a -form as to defy detection. How many thousands have I not brought joy to ? , How many have' been enabled t» enter into, the married state through consulting me 1 How many after marriage have privately consulted me and been blessed, and their married lives made fruitful and happy ? How many wasted ruined youths of both sexes have also been restored to health, and ' thanked their manhood for having , con» suited me by letter ? How many questions arise where the'i 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 diseases rets 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 put in full possession of the nature of his ense. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed, and j he is comparatively a new man — in fact, in many cases, a new beiag altogether. j The only addition to the ordinary written letter is the age, occupation, habits and symptoms— nothing more. The usual con- | sultation fee of £1 (one pound) must be enclosed, otherwise no answer will be re- i turned. 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 greet care, 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 i 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 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, have the benefit, 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, SMITH.
