DOCTOR SMITH

| LAS for many years devoted his whole atten

great success in those long standing and diff

he has received. Within the last eight years,
DIR. S. has treated more than 20, 500 cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages u practice which NO doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not single case is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-

rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotches

then, "and not till them" do many awake to
full sense of their danger.
We are called upon every few days to cure
