MEDICAL HOUSE,
DOCTOR SMITH

IIAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
ution 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 as were formerly considered in
durable, is sufficient to commend ID him to the pub
lie ns worthy Of the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years,
Dr. 5. ha. treated more than 2y,aOU cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages; n practice which nu doubt exceeds that
of all the physicianE now advertising in Balt-
more, and not IL single case is known, where d.
rections were strictly followed, and medicine To.
ken at reasonable time, without ,fecting q rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons al
ficted with diseases of the above nature, ''no
matter how difficult or long standing the case
NAV be, would do well to call on DR.. SMITH,
at hy office, No. IL. 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
mouse, or while travelling, without exposure or
hindrance from business, and except in cases of
violent Inflammation, no change of diet is neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when nfllic-
ton oyertakes them, that no time should be lost
in making application to n competent ph yiician,
avoid modification through exposure and eludc
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to be moderate in his charges
than he .ould justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease more widely
diiiused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and dscolored Plotches
with racking pains, befray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,
then, "and not till them" do many awake to a
full sense of their danger.
We are called upon every few days to cure
Chronic Diseases. which were supposed to have
been cured years ago, but instead of which, were
only checked, driven into the system by mercm-
~ or sopavia and therefore seems to be well but
in longer or shorter time, by some slight cause,
break out in its worst and most difficult forms,
producing ulcers in the throat, nose or roof of
the mouth, erruptions of the skin, pains or
swelling of bones, etc. On account OF the num-
Der of such which have lately come under my
care, and tho immense suffering which little
ns gleet or improper treatment in the first stages
Of the diserse may caure, DR.. smith thinks it
his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly
.trangsrs, TO be careful that they are not decei-
we'd by 5aiss advertisements Of boating q~acks
who make promises which could not be fulfilled
even by the most experienced physicians. By
neglect or improper treatment, the patient is Of
ten reducad to a state which makes the case ex =
tremelv difficult to cure. Therefore he should
be aware of the importance Of committing skill
f,l nh y,iciau in the eBrlv stage of the disease.
