DOCTOR SMITH

JTAS for many years devoted his whole at.
Ill tention to the treatment private com
plants. in all their varied and complicated
forms. His great succcs IS in those long stand
ing and difficult cases, such as were for
merly considered incurable, is sufficient t.
nd him to the public as worthy of the
extensive patronage which he has received.-
Within the last eight years, DR.. 5. has treateo
more than 20, 500 cases of Private Con Piaints
in heir different forms and stages; q practice
which no doubt exceeds that of all the other
physicians now advertising in baltimore, and
not single case is known, where directions
were strictly followed, and medicines taken
reasonable time, without checting q raoicn' ana
permanent cure; therefore, persons hieteu WIN
diseases OF the above nature, "no matter how
dieicult or long standing the case may be,
would do we'll to call on DR.. SMITH, at his
Office, No. IL South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should boar in mind that DR.. s.
who isthe only regular ply sician dvertsing,
has for many years devoted his whole attention
to the tr-atme nj of this class of Diseases.
His me licines are free from Mercury and all
mineral poisons put up in aneat and compact
form, and may be taken in public or private
house, or while travelling, wthoutexposure or
hindrance from business, and except in cases
of violent Inflammation, no change OF diet is
necessary.
Let the un fortunate bear in mind when aa1ic.
tion overtakes them, that 10 time should be LOST
in making mp pplication to competent physician
as they would not only obtain relief from PAIN,
avoid NORTH cation through exposure, and elude
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical a sistant to be moderate in his charges
than he could Justly be, where symptoms have
become con 6rmed or the disease more widely
difdsed. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is suticientto alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotch
es with racking pains, betray to the unhappy
victim tho deadly poison preying upon his vi
tals, then, "and not till then," do many awake
to full sense of their danger.
We are called upon every few days tocure
Chronic Diseases, which were supposed TO have
bcen cured years ago, but instead OF which,
were only check ed, driven into the system by
mercury or copavia andther foreseemsto be well
but n a Ion ger or shorter time, by some slight
cause, break out in its worst and most difhcult
forms, pr oducing ulcers in the throat, nose or
roof ofthe mouth, eruptions Of the skin, pains
or swelling of bones, etc. On account of the
number IF such which have lately come under
nv care, and the immense suffering which ALT
ito neglect or Improper treatment in the INST
st,ges of the disease may cause, DR.. smith
thinks it his duty to advise the unfortunate,
y1rticuIar{y strangers, to be careful that they
are not deceived by fatse advertisements of odst.
ina guncks who make promises which could not
be fulflled eve by the most experienced ply
sicians. By neglect or improper treatment, the
patient is often reduced to state which makes
the case extremely diHicultto cure. Therefore
he should be aware ofthe Importance OF con-
sulting a skillful physician in the carly stage
of the disease.
CONsTITUTIONAL DEBILITY
Young men beware of the perniciOus indul-
genoe and almost fatal injury you inhict upon

morbid influence of the passions.
How many young persons do we daily behold,
whose couutenances and debilitated consttu-
tions depict disease arising from that horrible
and devastating vice. -
1t could be shown how attenuation OF the
frame % alpitation of the heart, arrangement oil
th, nervous sy, item, cough, indigestion ana n
train of symptoms indicative consumption,
are often ascribed to wrong cause when in re-
nlity, they are the consequence OF an aliurin
and p,rnicious practice, alike destructive to the
mini nd body.
You WHO have brought tLis afllic ton upon
yourselves, why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vainly attempt to cure yourselves
. inteai Of IN ,kins immediate application TO a
skilful phyfician, who, in short time, would
restore YOU to perfect health, and save you from
exposure which the fatal consequences rem der it
