MEDICAL HOUSE.
DOCTOR SMITH

LAS for many years devoted MS Whole atten-
Iltion 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 rs 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 90, 800 cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages u practice which nc doubt exceeds that
Of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not single case is known, where di-
rections wero strictly followed, and medicine ia
ken at reasonable time, without eifcctins rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons al
hicted with diseases of the above nature, mo
matter how difficult or long standing the case
NAV be- would do well to call on DR.. SMITH,
at his office, No. IL, South Frederick Street.
Tho afflicted should bear in mind that Dr. D.
who is the only regular physician advertising,
has for many years devoted his whole attention
20 the treatm ent 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, or while travelling, without exposure or
hindrance from business, and except in cases Of
violent Inflammation, n change of diet is neces
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when atIlic-
ton overta.1cs thcm, that no time should be lost
in making application to u competent physician,
AZ thew 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
diffused. Tho rapid advance of this truly ter
rifynp 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 preyng upon his vitals,
then, "and not till then," do many awake to n
full sense of their danger

ber of such which have lately come under my
