Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions.”—Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. SOME patients suffering fromnervous 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 f> om. 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; 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 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 tc enter into the nnariage State through consulting me ? How many after marriage have pri vafcely consulted me and been blessed, and their married lives made fruitful and happy. How many wastedfyjipedjmnths of both sexes have alae Wn y&fcored to health, and for having conji6\tpaj/e/tiyrfetter. How many quepoons arise where the family physipfan is unable to unravel the case, and where often the patrent lingers on, not daring to tell Iris 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 iir 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 bis 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 more. Ihe usual consultatiou fee ot Lt (one pound) must be encosed, 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, 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 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 trom disea-e, or who have yielded to their passions. To these I say, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an 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. SMITH.
