Diseased Nature oftentimes break forth in strange eruptions,”—Act iii Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC, . SOME patients suffering fromner. vous affections are afraid from sheer bashfulness and modesty to personally consult a medical roan — other patients have not the self possession and coolness when in the consulting room, to accurately descri lie their symptoms—their habits of life, and the nature of the disease they suffer Lorn. 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 i 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 y ears,not a single mistake has ever occuvred, not a case has ever been made public—in fact, the very simplicity of rav system of correspondence prevents publicity. At the same time medicines are sent to my patients in such a form as to defy detection. /Jt / How many tliousyfd^linot brought joy to ? /“j How many \\yrf> Sm-y analded tc enter into the rduiriage/ftate through consulting me ? / How many after marriage have pri vately consulted me and been blessed, and their married lives made fruitful and happy. How many wasted ruined yonthsof both sexes have also been restored to health, and thanked their manhood, for having consulted me by letter. flow many questions arise where the family physician is unable to un* i avid the case, and where often the patient lingers on, not daring to tell his 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 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. 1 1 The only addition to the ordinary < written letter is the age, occupation, ;' habits and symptoms, nothing more. 1 Hie usual consultation fee ot Li (one ’ pound) must be enc osed, 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 tioubles, and remove many unnecessary fears and prejudices ; to those, more especi- * hlly who have suffered in early years 1 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, ray 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 witn the additional advantage of thorough privacy.—Yours, truly, LOUIS L. SMITH. 1 Address 1 f D R L. L. SMITH, j. 182 Collins Street East | Melbourne. Consultation Fee, by Letter, LI.
