DOCTOR SMITH

HAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
11ti0n 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
| durable, is sufficient to commendhim 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 1900 cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which no doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not single case is known, where d.
rectons were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without ,fecting rad
cal and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
hcted with diseases of the above nature, "no
matter how dific 1t or long standing the ease
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 frse 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, no change of diet is neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when afflic-
ton overtaLes them, that time should be lost
in making application to n competent p yaician,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain.
avoid modification through exposure and elude
great constitutional injury, but enable their
IN medical assistant to be moderate in his charges
than he ,ould justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease more widely
dffused. The rapid advance of this truly tor
rifyng disease, is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotches
with racking puins, beray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,
then, "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, we're
only checked, driven into the system by IN ercu
ry or sopaya and therefore seems to he well but
in longer or shorter time by soine slight cause,
break out in its worst and most difficult forms,
ulcers in the throat nose or roof OF
the mouth, errupuons of the skin, pains or
swelling of bones, etc. On account Of the num-
Der of such which have lately come under my
care, and the immense suffering which little
glect or improper treatment in the first stages
of the diserse may cause, Dir. Smith thinks it
his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly
,trangers, to be careful that they are not decei
we'd by false advertisements Of boasting quocks
" ho make promises which could not be fulfilled |
oven by the most experienced physicians. By |
neglect or improper treatment, the patient is Of
en reducad to n state which makes the case ex- |
remely difficult to cure. Therefore he should |
DC aware Of the heimportance of consulting skill |
ul physician in the early stage of the disease.
