Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions.”—Act iii 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 /elf possession and coolness whenwy consulting room, toaccufat«vdo*r)h6their symptoms—their haoitsy of/life, and the nature of the disease they suffer f om. Let such persqms (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 nfrvoos 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 oc- ' envied, not a case has ever been made public—in fact,the very simplicity of mv 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 s brought jov to] I How many have been enabled tc enter into the ma-iriage state throughconsulting met How many after marriage have pri vately consulted me and been blessed, and their married lives made fruitful and happy. How many wasted ruined yontbs of both sexes have also been, n stored to health, and thanked their manhood, for having consulted me by letter. ; flow many questions arise where the family physician is unable to uu- i tavel the case, and where often the patient lingers on, hot daring to tell Ins family medical adviser the 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 tba post box reaches me quietly; the answer is leturned as quietly and nnostenta* 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 more. 1 1 Ihe usual consultation fee of LI (one pound) must be enc used, 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, 1 and thus prevent many after troubles, and remove many unnecessary fears and prejudices; to those, more especially who have suffered in early years from 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 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 Last, Melbourne. Consultation Fee, by Letter, LI. Fee for Personal Consultation, LI Is. The latter is inclusive of Mediciue.
