DOCTOR SMITH

las for many years devoted his whole attcn-
| LII ton 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 CONNIE Il d him to the pub
lie MS worthy of the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years,
DR.. 5. has treated more than $4,000 eases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which NJ doubt exceeds that
of all the phi ysiciant now advertising in Balu-
more, and not a single case is known, where di-
reetions were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without ,iFccting a rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons ai-
ficed 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 II, 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 free from Mercury and nil
mineral posons put up in neat and compact
form, and may be taken in public or private
mouse, or while travelling, without exposure or
hndrance from business, and except in cases Of
violent Inflammation, no change of diet is neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when af1ic-
ton overtakes them, that no time should be lost
in making application to n competent hy.ician,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain.
avoid modification 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
dihused. 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,
then. "and not till then" do many awake 10 q
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 copayia 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, erruptons of tho skin, pains or
swelling of bones etc. On account Of the num-
Der OF such which haEe lately come under my
care. and the immense suffering which lit'"I
ne glect 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 fdisc adoertis"ments of Joas'img qmacks
who make promises which could not he 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 eI-
tremcly difficult to cure. Therefore he should
be aware of the Importance of consulting skill
ful physician in the early stage of the disease.
