DOCTOR SMITH

HAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
lltion to the treatment of private complaints,
in all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing and diff
cult cases, such rs were formerly considered in.
durable, is sufficient to commend him to the pub
lie as worthy of the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years,
Dr. S. has treated more than 800 cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages n practice which nu doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not single case il known, where di-
rectons were strictly followed, and medicine tn-
ken mt reasonable time, without .ifecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
hicted with diseases of the above nature, "no
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do well to call on DR.. SMITH
at his office, No. IL, South Frederick Street.

sary.

than he could Justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease more widely
diaused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient TO alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored PlOtches
