Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions.”—Act ill , Scene 1. i TO THE PUBLIC. 1 SOME patients suffering from ner- J vous affections are afraid from , sheer bashfulness and modesty to PER- ] bonally consult a medical man—other patients have not the self possession | and coolness when in the consulting room, toaccuratelydescribe their sytnp- . toms—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; hut 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 pc- i curved, not a case has ever been made public—in fact, the very simplicity of 1 my system of correspondence prevents publicity. At the satae time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to a defy detection. 11 How many thousands have I not g brought joy to? p How many have been enabled tc enter into the mouriage state through consulting me 1 How many after marriage have pri vately 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 health, and thanked their manhood, for having consulted me by letter. s How many qnaptions arise where 4 the family phvdmAn isMfoable to un- ? ravel the case, yoften the patient linaft a rng to tell his the nature of his «n|n consumption i wasting, or mmital 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 1 box reaches me quietly; the answer is J returned as quietly and nnostenta* , tiously, and the patient, without step- « ping from his chamber, except to post ‘ his letter, is by return of post put in J full possession of the nature of his case. , His hopes are raised, his doubts re» { moved, and he is comparatively a new 3 man ; in fact, in many cases, a new being altogether. c The only addition to the ordinary f written letter is the age, occupation, * habits and symptoms, nothing more. ® Ihe usual consultation fee of LI (one pound) must be encoaecl, otherwise no answer will be isturned. 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. c and thus prevent many after troubles, j and remove many unnecessary fears and prejudices ; to those, moreespeci- * ally who have suffered in early years 1 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 an ex- j pert, my tin;e 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. 1 Address 'Dr L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins Street East, Melbourne, Consultation Fee, by Letter, LI. Fee for Personal Consultation, LI Is.
