TO FEMALE INVALIDS.
" No less than 31,000 females have expired from diseases
peculiar to their sex in one year."—See e Registrar- Gene-
ral's Report.
DR. BAYFIELD, R.N., of the tversity of Edinburgh,
and Member of the College of Surgeons, respectfully
announces to invalids, the above startling fact, as officially
stated by the Registrar-General, and informs them, that be
may be daily consulted (either personally or by letter,) as a
Physician-Accoucheur, by patients suffering from those pe-
culiar diseases, which if unattended to, or improperly treated,
quickly bring the malady to a fatal issue, or by undermining
a previously good constitution, cause the unhappy patient to
suffer a lingering existence; whereas by a timelyapplication
to Dr. Bayfield, whose experience in the treatment of female
diseases for the last 16 years, he is warranted in stating,
that
the disease will not only be speedily removed, but
the patient
restored to her pristine state of health.
