'' Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions.—Act iii, Scene 1. ItfMBilEA SOME patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to s rsonalt.y consult a medical u>an — other patients have not the soil-pos-session and coolness when in the consulting room, to accurately describe their symptoms —their habits of Ii ; *», and the nature of the di ease they suffer f out. Let such persons (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of their own apartments, and with calm minds describe Clear y each symptom of their case, a clear statement thus written and laid before me, is far preferable in neevocs diseases to personal consultation. Where, however, a disease is i>\ a peculiar and exceptional cbarac ter, a personal consu tation may become necessary, but my success in c rrespondenee is so fjreat, that of the thousands upon thousands whom 1 have treated by letter riuriu ■ the list 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 the marriage state thr..ugh consulting me ? 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 bcih sexes h.ive also been re.-tored to health, and than ed 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 his family medical adviser the nature of his complaint, until comsuraption, wasting, or mental disease set in, an<i the sufferer gets beyond the curable and is a left a hopeless wreck. A leter written in the privacy of the room and dropped in the post box reaches me quietly ; the answer is returned as quietly and unc.stentatiously and the patient, without stepping 'rom 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 mac ; in fact, in many a. new being altogether. The only addition to the ordinary letter is the age, occupation, habits and symptoms, nothing more. The usual cohsultation 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, agreat fear, a great care, and it often solves what apoear< as an impenetrable mystery. Many a sad heart has been made joyful on receipt of an explanatory letter from me. To those av'jo are about 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, more especially who have suffered in early years from disease, or who have yielded to their passions. To these 1 say, at 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 e closing one pound, .have the benefit of my experience in the same manner as if I lived in your own town, and with the additional advantage of thorough pri-vacy.--Yours truly, LOUIS L. SMITH. Address: Dr. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins st. East, Melbourne CONSULTATION FEE by LETTER £1 Fee for personal Consultation, £1 Is. The latter is inclusive of medicine. Medicines forwarded, well-packed, to all the Colonies, India, and Europe. 182 COLLINS-STREET, Melbourne.
