DOCTOR SMIT II

HAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
11tion to the treatment of private complaints,
in all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing and dihi'
cult cases, such as 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 29,50D cases Of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages n practice which nu doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now advertising in Bati.

rections were strictly followed, and medicine ia

ficted with diseases of the above nature, "no
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do we'll to call on DR.. SMITH,
at his office, No. II, South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should bear in mind that DR.. S.
who is the only regular physician advertising,
has for many years devoted his whole attention
to the treatment of this class Of Diseases.
His medicines are free from Mercury and all
mineral poisons +; put up in neat and compact
form, and may be taken in public or private
house, or while travelling, without exposure or
bindrance from business, and except in cases OF
violent inflammation, no change of diet is neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when aff1ic-
ton overtakes them, that nc time should be lost
in making application to competent phy.ician,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain.

great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to be moderate in his charges

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

Der of such which have lately come under my
care, and the immense suffering which little
