Diseased Nature ottentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions.”—Act ill. Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC.
SOME 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, toaccurately describe their symptoms—their habits of life, and the nature of the disease they suffer f om. Let such persons (he or she) sit quietly down in the privacy of their own apartments, fjud with calm minds describe clearly eajh symptom of their case, a oleaOstat/mqnt thus written, and laidlbefo/e mfe. isfitrprefemble in nervous disea®* to consultation. r Where,/however, a disease is of a peculiar and’exceptional character, a personal consultation may become necessary ; butncy success in correspondence is so great, that of the 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 the niaariago state through consulting me 1
Bow many after marriage have pri vateiy consulted me and been blessed, and their married lives made fruitful and happy. How many wasted ruined yon tbs of both sexes have also’ been restored to health, and thanked their manhood, for having consulted ire by letter. How many questions aiise where the family physician is unable to uu-iavt-1 the ca£e, and where often the patient lingers on, not daring to tell his family medical advisor tiie 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 VW-ek. A. letter written in the privacy of the room and dropped into the post box reaches me quietly ; the answer is returned as quietly aud unostenta* tionsly, 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 re-v moved, 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 and symptoms, nothing more. The usual consultation fee ot LI (oue pound) must he enc used, otherwise no answer will be leturued. There are thousands of cases in dally life where a consultation with oue 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 joyfnt on receipt of an explanatory nolo from me.
To those who are about to many I would s.«y consult me before doing so, and thus prevent many after troubles, and remove many unnecessary fears and pi ejudices ] to those, more especially who have suffered in early years from disease, or who have yielded to their passions. To these I say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as au expert, my time may not always be at your service, you can, by simply en 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 privacy.—Yours, truly, LOUIS L.
