jy£RS W. R. GEORGE (Late Proprietress of the Dunatan Hotel) Has taken the Corner Shop, next to the Vincent County Hotel, Clyde, as a FANCY REPOSITORY, And by keeping the Best Articles in Stationery, Haberdashery, Toys, And. Sweetmeats of all Kinds, Hopes she will receive the patronage 'o* hw kind triends who haveHor so many years known her. Boobs and Periodicals lent to read on I Reasonable Terms. Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions.”—Act iii, Scene 1. . TO THE PUBLIC.
OME patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to personally consult 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 ot the disease they suffer fora. Let such persons (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of their own apartments, and with calm minds describe clearly each symptom of their case, a clear statement thus written, and laid before me, is far {(referable in nhrvous diseases to a personal consultation Where, however, a disease is ofk peculiar and exceptional character, a personal consultation may become necessary y but' in co respohde'nce is so great, that qf.the thou? sands 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 puldie —in fact, the very simplicity of md system of correspondence prevents publicity. ' At the same time medicines are sent to iny 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 m:i .triage 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 yonths of both sexes have, also been restored to hcat'b, and thanked their manhood, for having consulted me by letter. How many questions arise where the famil v physician is unable to untavel 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 set 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 into the post box reaches me quietly ; the answer is returned as quietly and unostenta* tiously, and the patient, without stepping. frujn 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 man •; in fact, in many c.ises, a new being altogether.
The only addition to the ordinary written letter is the age, occupation, habits and symptoms, nothing more, the usual consultation fee ot L'. (one pound) must he enc used, otherwise no answer will he leturned. There are thousands of eases iu daily life where a consultation with one at a distance, will remove by a single letter, a great fear, a great care, and it often solves what appears as an impenetrable mystery. Many a sad heart has been made joyfut on receipt of an explanatory note from me. To those who are about to marry I would say consult mu i efore doing so, and thus prevent many after troubles, and remove many unnecessary fears and prejudices • to those, more especial!' who have sufficed in early years from disea e, or who have yielded to their passions. To there L say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, ai d as au expert, nr" time may not always be at your service, you can, by simply en c'osing one pound, have the beneiit of my experience in the same manner as if i lived in your own town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy.—Yours, truly, LOUIS L. SMITH.
