Hours : 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eve Ding, 7to 8 p.m. Descbiptive Pamphiets Free. Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions."—Act iii, Scene 1. TO THE PUBLIC. SOME patients suffering from nervous affections are afraid from sheer baehfulnees and modesty to PEBSONAELY 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 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 oaee, a clear statement thus written, and laid before me is, far preferable in- nehvods diseases to a personal congultation. Where, however, a diseaße is of a peculiar and exceptional character, a personal consultation may become necsssary ; 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 Las ever occurred, not a case has ever been made public—in fact the very simplicity of my system of correspondence prerents publicity. At the same time medicines sro 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 to enter into tbe marriage state through consulting toe ? How many after marriage have privately consulted me and been blessed and their married lives made fruitful and happy. How many wasted ruined youths of both sexes have also been restored to health, aud thanked their manhood, for having consulted me by letter. How many queslions arise whpre the family physician iv unable to unravel the case and where often the patient lingers on, not dariDg 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 curiable stage, and is left a hopeless wreck. A letter written in the privacy of the room and dropped in the post box reaches me quietly ; the answer is returned as quietly and unostentatiously, 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 rrised his doubts removed, and he is comparatively a new man j in fact, in many cases, a new being altogether. The oniy additiou to the ordinary written letter is the age occupation, habits and symptoms, nothing more. The usual consultation fee of £1 (one pound) must be enclosed, 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 joyful on receipt of an explanatory lettor 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 j to those, more especially, who ha.vg suffered in early years from disease, or who have yielded to their passiong. To these I gay, at once, consult with me, do not tarry, delays are dangerous, and as an expert, my time may not be always &t your service, you can, hj ismply enclosing one pound, have the benefit of my experience in the same 3aan«eras if I lived in your town, and with the additional c advantage of thgrgugh privaoy.-r-YoHrg, truly LOUIS I.
