DOCTOR SMITH

TTAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
l1tion 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
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. S. has treated more than 29,J00 cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages a practice which NO doubt exceeds that
of all the physicianE now advertising in Balti-
more, and not single case is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without efecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
nicted 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.
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 ana compact
form, and may be taken in public or private
house, 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 afilic-
ton overtakes them, that no time should be lost
in making application to competent physician,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain
avoid notification through exposure and elude
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 boldest
heart When liberation and discolored Plotches
with racking pains, betray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,
them "and not till then,' do many awake to
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 mercu-
ry or copavia 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
tho mouth erruptions Of the skin, pains or
swelling of bones, etc. On account Of the num-
ber of such which hav lately come under my
care, and the immense suffering which II little
gl ect 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 are not decei-
we'd by false Advertisements Of bodSttnJ qudcks
who II axe 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 consultinga skill
ful nh ysician in the early stage of the disease.
