A Diseased Nature oftentimes hreaks forth in strange eruptions." — Act iii, >oene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. SOME patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to personally cousulfc a medical man — other patients have not the self-poßsession 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 privary 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 j 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 tho thousands upon thousands whom I have treated by letter during the last 32 years 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 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 tbe married state through consulting me ? How mgny 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 consulted me by letter P 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 his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, until consumption, was«j.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 case. His hopes are raised, his doubts removed, and he >« comparatively a new man — in fact, in many cases, a new beiag altogether. The uoly 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 ocnsultation 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 <*ay consult me before doing so", and. thug/ prevent many after troubles,' and remove many unnecessary fears and prejudices ; to those, moie especially who have suffered in early years from disease, or who have yielded to their passions, to these say, at once, i 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 expj^lijjee in the same -manner as if 1 lived' in yotte'Own town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy. — .
