A Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks Jorth in strange eruptions." — Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. SOME patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to pebsonalxy consult a medical man — other patients have not tho self-possession and coolness when in the consulting room to accntafoly describe their symptoms — their habits* of life, and the nature of the disease they suffer from. Let such persons (he or she) Bit quietly down in the privai-y of their own oompartmenls, and with calm minds describe dearly each symptom of their case, a clear statement thus written, atfdf laid before me, is far preferable in nervous diseases to a perBonal consultation. Where, however, a disease is of a peculiar rind exceptional character, a personal consfrlteftion may become necessary ; but my success in correspondence is so great that of fc&ef- thousands upon thousands whom I have treated by letter | during the last 32 yeafS not a 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 inedicineß are sent to my patients in such *- form as to defy detection. How many thousands have I not brought joy to ? How many have 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 lives made fruitful 1 and happy ? How many wasted ruined youths of both sexts have also been restored to health, and thanked their manhood 5 for having consulted me by letter P How many questions arise where the family physician is unabltf to unravel the case, and where often $w patient lingers on, not daring to tell his family medical adviser the ns*vre of his complaint, until consumption, was^ag, or mental diseases sets 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 cuse. His hopes are raised, his doubts 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 aud symptoms — nothing more. The usual consultation fee of £1 (one pound) must be enclosed, otherwise no aflSWer 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 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 aro about to marry, I would nay 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 havo yielded to their passions, to those say, at onco, 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, havo the benetit of my experience in the same manner as if 1 lived in your own town, and with tho additional advantage of thorough privacy.— Yours truly, LOUIS L.
