MEDICAL ADVICE.

Dll. FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College
of Surgeons, of the Faculte de Medecine de Paris, and
Honorary Member of the College of Physicians, Washington, may
be consulted daily on all Diseases, Nervous Debility, &c. &c., at
his residence, So. 4, FRANCIS-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE,
LONDON.
Dr. FRANKLIN is one of the very few legally qualified physi-
cians who have directed attention to these diseases; from long
practical observation of the treatment pursued in the most cele-
brated institutions of this country and the continent, has had,
perhaps, unusual opportunities of witnessing the various pecu-
liarities relating to the disorders ; and having for a number of
years devoted his studies almost exclusively to this class of com-
plaints, he is enabled confidently to undertake their removal in as
short a time as is consistent with safety. Dr. F., to distinguish
himself from non-qualified men, refers to his qualifications as
above, and he earnestly cautions the public against a host of
ignorant pretenders and rapacious Jew quacks, who infest the
various seaports, and to make strict inquiry before risking life,
&c., in the hands of the empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver-
pool sent on application.
Persons at a distance will be minute in the detail of their cases;
and, to prevent trouble, no letters from strangers will be replied
to unless they contain Li by Post-office order or otherwise, when
Advice and Medicines will be sent securely packed from observa-
tion or accident.

Post-office Orders to be made payable to JOSEPH FRANKLIN,
M.D. Pamphlet on debility gratis, on receipt of two stamps for
postage.
