ALL those who are suffering from despondency, melancholia, loss of spirits, and pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, and who are gradually getting weaker and weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with. In all &uch cases Mr L. L. SMITH feels it incumbent on himself to inform such unfortunate patients, that he has devoted his lifetime, to the study of these complaints, having been a pupil and assistant of the late Dr Culverwell, of London, who made these diseases his special practice. • In all those diseases relating and pertaining : to Married Life, and which make marriage a curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L. SMITH can be consulted with the greatest certainty of success, and with the additional feeling that no chance can possibly occur of their secret ever being divulged. : - . In cases of. extreme Nervous Debility, where the patient feels that he. is exhausted and physically prostrated, and incapable of exertion without great fatigue, then and there the person so situated should at once consult Mr L. L. Smith before disease of a more serious character sets. in; the above arises frequently from the enervating influence of hot climates, but frequently from other causes of a more serious nature. Palpitations of the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed,, is another phase of disease which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause i those who suffer from the abovo have not — ; ; " Mix'd reason with pleasure, And wisdom with mirth." But have, on the contrary, been guilty of a secret vice, which has, as it were, eaten into their very vitals. Many "old young men" consult me, who, though young in years, have, thfongh the vice above alluded to, and from their having been quacked by the unqualified and unskilful medical man, at last given up all hope and, succumbed, and are aged in their very youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties which they were sent on this earth to perform. " Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time." Mr L; L. SMITH wishes to impress on those who are laboring under diseases which cannot be 'treated by' the- general medical ' attendant, from insufficient knowledge and practice, that as an expert in these, diseases, he has the right to warn the public at large against the number of blatant charlatons and quacks who not only extort the money out of the pockets of the. patients, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate i sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present* themselves to him from all; the. different colonies, who are thoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket,, and they then lament, when, too late, the horrible deception which has been ■practised on them. . ;>■.. -•-...;-■ JNot onlydo men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they advertise for. sale, and swindle the public, by selling bottles of muck", under the nameof . " DrJßicord's Essence of Life," "Balm of Syriacum," and a mass of other quackeries, whose sole proviuce is to extract money; out of thiS pqekets of their deluded victims.', ........ ', . i . i .' : ..'; . ;,'.-- Will the public never understand, that the only guarantee they can have that they will be honestly and skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to whom they apply for advice ira lsgally-tiualified niedieai matt whb^ bas devoted his time to tn'e branch of practice for .which the patient is seeking aid ? Secondly, that his long residence in the place, ■ and, his position, is at least a guarantee of the estimation in which he is neld by liis fellow-citizens. ;' Dr. L. L. SMITH can; be consulted by letter ;,feej £1; ; ; ; - v By the above means any male or female patientrcanj by describing their symptoms, avoid the, in many cases, unpleasantness' of a | personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito, Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to all parts of the colonies, with plain letters of instruction as to 'diet, &c. .'
