age which he has received Within the last
eight years DR.. ). has treated more than TWEEN
ty.niue thousand five hundred cases of Private
complaints in their different forms and stages;
practice which no doubt exceeds that of all
other physicians now advertising in Baltimore,
and not a single case is known, whero dITec-
tons were strictly followed and medicine la
ken a reasonable time, without CticCtiug rad
ical and permanent cure therefore, persons
afflicted with diseases Of the above nature, 'nO
matter how difficult or how long standing the
case may be :" would do well to call on DR.
smith, al his office, 30. | South Frederick st.
The afflicted should bear in mind that Dr. S.
is the only regular physician advertising, who
has for many years dev,t his whole attention
to the treatment OF this class of Diseases
Ills medicines are free from Mercury and all
mineral poisons put up in 4 neat and compact
form, and may be taken in public or private
house, or " lille travelling, without exposure or
hndraucc from business, aud except in cases
Of violent inflammation, no change Of diet is

Chronic Diseases, W hich were supposed to have
been cured years ago: but instead of which,
were only checked, driven into the system by
mercury or cOpayla. therefore seem 10 be well,
but in a longer or shorter time, by some slight
cause, broke out in It's worst and most difficult
forms; producing ulcers III the throat, nose or
roof of the mouth, eruPtionS OF the skin, pains
or swelling Of bone, etc. On account Of the
number Of such cases which have lately come
under my care, and the immense suffering
which little neglect or improper treatment
in the first stages Of the disease may cause, Dir
Smith thinks it his dutV to advise the untortu-
nate ''particulGrly strangers" to be careful that
they be not deceived by false advertisement: Of
Boosting QuGcks, who make promises which
could not be fulfilled, even by the most expe-
rienced physicians. BY neglect or improper
treatment, the patient is often reduced to
state which makes the case extremely difficult
to cure. Therefore, all should be aware of the
importance Of consulting skllul physician
m the early stages of the disease.
CONSTITUTIO.A:4L DEBILITY
Young men beware ofthe pernicious induI-
gence and most fatal injury you in6ct upon
your constitutions by evil examples and the
morbid Influence Of the passions.
How many oIng persons do we daily be-
hold, whose countenances ard debilItated con-
stitutions depict diseases arising from that hor-
Tible devastating vice.
1t could be shown how attenuation of the
frame, palpltation of the heart, arrangement
of The nervous system, cough, Indigestion, and
train of symptoms, indicative Of consump
ton, are often ascribed to wrong causes, when
i'll reality, they are the consequence of an aIlu-
ring and pcrncous practice, alike destructive
t. the mind and body.
~ DR.. SMITH gives his special attention to
the treatment Of this de tructiye malady. Pa
tients can be cured at home by addressing a
letter to DR.. Smith, by describing symptoms
and receive medicine securely packed from OBJ
servation, forwarded by express TO any part Of
the country. Address
