Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions.”— A.ct iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC,
SOME patients suffering fvomnervous 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 of the disease they suffer from. 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 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 j but my 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 over occurred, not a case has ever been made public—in fact, the very simplicity of my system of correspondence prevents publicity. 1 At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to not defy detection. How many thousands have I brought joy to! How many have been enabled tc enter into the maariage state through consulting me 1 How many after vately consulted m and their marrief and happy, How raanVtvasi both sexes Have al; health, and tha for having cons arriage have pri Id begn blessed, youths of to ed tlreir manhood, ted x/e 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 Hie nature of his complaint, until consumption wasting, or mental diseases sot 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 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* 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 moie. ■ Ihe usual consultation l 'o ol LI (one pound) must he enc’oKocl, otherwise no answer will be leturned. 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 great care, and it solves what appears as an impenetrable mystery. Many a sad heart lias boon made joVfnt on receipt of an explanatory note from mo. To those who are about to many I would say consult mo before doing so, and thus prevent many after troubles, and remove many unnecessary fairs and prejudices j to those, more especially who lane suffered in early years trora dhen e, or who have yielded to their passions. To these I say, at once, consult with me, do hot tarry, delays are dangerous, and as r.u 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 1 lived in your own town, and with the additional advantage of thorough privacy.—Yours, truly, LOUIS L. SMITH. Address Dr L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins Street East, Melbourne. Consultation Fee, by Letter, LI. Fee for Personal Consultation, LI Is. The latter is inclusive of Medicine.
