TThas been too frequently the subjeti of just and
general reprobation, that men destitute of tlie ,ernents of
the medical art haVe offered themselves as candidates for
public patronage in the profession Of physic Tor the purpose
of doing justice to the result of our studies and experience, and
to prevent us from being classed among those empirics whose
imprudent pretensi,nrs have, unfortunately for society., btt n
too favOurably received, we beg leave to submit to the liberal
and enlightened a faithful statement of our pursuits and ac-
quirements.' Altet• having' received a regular medical educa-
tion
.as the. piipils of Messrs. Grital,q; and Blizeti, whose
leebires and practice we carefully attended, as professors and
surgeons of the 'London Hospital ; we entered ourselves as
students in that justly celebrated school for medical acquire-
ment, the'Royal College of Edinburgh, and were instructed
in the different tranche.s of anatomy, surgery, the theory and
practice of physic, chemistry, midwifery, botany,. &c. &c.
by these. eminent vroleSsors, Drs. Monro, Gregory, Black,
Hamilton. Duncan and Rutherford.. We trust we shall not
be deemed p?esumptuous• in saying that our proficiency and
acquirements are not inconsiderable, Having for a long series
of years made Venereal Complaints, and the various diseases
of Debility, the•particular objed of our studies and praCtice, •
it will; we • hope,.• be al lowed that we have acquired superior
knowledge of their treatment and Lane. In slight and recent
cases of infection a perfect re-establishment is completed in
the shbrt period of two days ; and in those of the utmost in-
veteracy, where other practitioners haVe failed of success, a
proper perseverance in our plan of, treatment ensures to the
,patient a safe and radical cure.
Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which are the
'elleets of a habit Jong, and. most unhappily pursued by the
-youth of both sexes, mere are none more alarming or more
distressing than those deficiendies -and debilities which fre-
quently prevent or embitter the matrimonial state. To such
persons it must be a consolation to know that they may now,
by'ahew and infallible mode of treatment, be restored to that
greatest of alt human blessings, a strong,-manly,' and vigor-
ous constitution.- In all cases of debility, from whatever
cause arising, as well as in every species of venereal inti
we may be cOnsulted by patients, of either sex with the great-
est secrecy and honour. •• Hours of consultation at home from
ten to three, and from 6in the evening till to at night. •
• Patients in the country are requested to state the particu.
tars Of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c. &c. in-
closing to remittance, for advice and medicines, when the same
will be given; or sent to any part of the kingdom. To ensure
that secrecy' so essential to our undertaking, the postage of
letters may be added to the account for medicines.
