DOCTOR SMITH

AAtion to the treatment of private complaints
in all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing and diff
p cult cases, such as were formerly considered in
curable, 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.. 8. has treated more than 29,500 cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages a practice which no doubt exceeds that
OF all the physicians now advertising in Balti
more, and not single case is known, where di-
rsctions were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without effecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
ficted with diseases of the above nature, emo
matter how difficult 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 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, n change of diet is neces-
sary.
.. Let the unfortunate bear in mind when ai1iic-
tion overtakes them, that time should be lost
in making application to a competent phy,cian,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to be moderate in his charges
than he could justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease more widely
difused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the bodest
heart. When liberation and discoored Plotches
with racking pains, betray 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 mercI-
ry or copavia and therefore seems to be we'll but
in longer or shorter time, by some slight cause,
break out in its worst and most difficult forms,
producing ulcers in the throat, or roof of
tho mouth, erruptions of the skin, pains or
swelling of bones, etc. On account OF the num-
Der of suc1 which have lately como under my
care and the immense suffering which little
neglect or improper treatment in the first stages
OF the diserse may cause, DR.. Smith thinks it
his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly
STRANGERS, to be careful that they not decei-
we'd BY jalse Advertisements of doastimg qnacks
who make promises which could not be fulfilled
even by the most experienced physicians. By
noglect or improper treatment, the patient is Of
ten reducad to state which makes the case ex-
tremey difficult to cure. Therefore he should
bc aware of the importance of consultinga skill
fal physician in the early stage of the disease.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.
Young men beware of the pernicious indul
Sence and lmOst fatal injury you intlict upon
your constitutions, by evil examples and the
morbid influence of tho passions.
How many young persons do we daily behold,
whose countenances and debilitated constitutions
depict disease arising from that horrible and de-
vastating vice. ....
1t could be shown how attenuation of the
frame, palpitation of the heart, arrangement of
The nervous system, cough, indigestion and
brain of symptoms, indicative of consumption,
aro often ascribcd to wrong causes, when in re-
ality, they are the consequences of an alluring
and psrnicious practice alike destructive to the
mind and body.
You who have brought this aIlction upon
yourselves, why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vainly attempt to cure yourselves,
instead Of making immediate application to
skillfull physician, who in short time, would
restore you to perfect health and savo you from
exposure which the fatal consequences renderit
envitable.
&B- DR.. Smith gives his special attention to
the treatment of this destructive malady. Pa
Il ents can be cured at home by addressing n let
tor to DR.. Smith, describing symptoms, and re-
eeive medicine securely packed from observation
by express or otherwise to any part
of the country.
N. B.-Persons afflicted with any of tho
above complaints will % we'll to avoid boasting
impo'tors whether fora or native, as also the
for every disease. rh Preparations are put
mp to sell and not to cure. and often do more
harm than good, therslf 10 avoid them.
... "a word to wise is sufficient"
