A Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions." — Act iii, ocene 1. TO THE^PUBLIC. SOME patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to personally cousult a medical man — other patients have not the 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 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 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 exceptional 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 the last 32 yearn not a single mistake has ever occurred, notll 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 mamed state through consulting me ? How many after marriage have privately consulted me and been blessed, and their married lvws made fruitful and happy ? How many wasted ruined youths of both sexes have also been restored to health, and thanked their manhood for having consulted me by letter P How many questions arise where the family physician is unable to unravel the case, aDd where often the patient lingers on, not daring to tell bis family medical adviser the na+wre of his complaint, until consumption, wn,»u.ng, or mental diseases sets in, aud the auffarer getß 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 letaer, is by return of post put in full possession of the nature of his case. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed, and he Ji » comparatively a new man — in fact, in many cases, a new beiag altogether. The only addition to tbe 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 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 abont 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, moi c especially who have suffered in early years from disease, or who have yielded to their passions, to theße 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.
