DOCTOR SMITH

HAS Tor many years devoted his whole atten-
htion 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 moro than 29, 500 cases OF
Private. Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which NO doubt exceeds tha,
Of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not a single case is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without efecting a rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
hicted with diseases of tho 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.
5 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
hindrance from business, and except in cases of
violent Inflammation, no change Of diet is neces-
sary. .
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when afiic-
tion overtakes them, that time should be lost
in making application to a competent p hyacian,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain.
avoid modification through exposure and eude
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to be moderate in his charges
than he sould justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed tho disease more widely
diffused The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the bodest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotches
with rackin pains, betray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,
then, "and not till them" do many awake to
full sense of their danger.
Weare 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-
nv 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, nose or roof of
the mouth, erruptions of the skin, pains or
swelling Of bones, etc. On account Of the num-
ber of such which have lately come under my
care, and the immense suffering which little
ne elect or improper treatment in the first stages
of the discrse 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 boaSting quacks
who mako promises which could not be fulfilled
even by the most experienced physicians. By
neglect or improper treatment, the patient is Of
ten reducaf to q state which makes the case ex-
tremely difficult to cure. Therefore he should
be aware of tho Importance of consultinga skill
