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 us were formerly considered in
| durable, is sufficient to commend him to th pub
| lie as worthy of the extensive patronage which
| he has received. Within the last eight years,
| DIR. S. has treated more than 20, 500 cases of
| Private Complaints in their different forms and
| stages;a practice which nt doubt exceeds that
of all the physiciant now advertising in Balti-
moro, and not a single case is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without .fecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
ficted with diseases of the above nature, "no
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do well to call on Dir. 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 and compact
form, and may be taken in public or private
mouse, or while travelling, without exposure or
bindrance from business, and except in cases Of
violent Inflammation, no change of diet is n eces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind whom anlic-
ton overtahes them, that no time should be lost
in making application to a competent phy.ician,
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 be sould justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease moro widely
difused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and dscolOred Plotches
with racking pains, betray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,
hen, "and not till them" do many awake to n
full sense of their danger.
We are called upon every few days to cure
Chronic Diseases. which were supposed to have
only checked, driven into the system by IN ercn-
ry 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
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 little
ne glect or improper treatment in the first stages
of the dserse 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 make 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-
tremely difficult to cure. Therefore be should
be aware of the importance Of cOnsultinga skill
full physician in the early stage of the disease.
