DOCTOR SMITH

LAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
11tion 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 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 29, 900 cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages a practice which nu doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not n single case Is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-

hictcd with disea ses of the above nature, "nO
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do well to call on Dir. SMITH, 4,
at his office, No. l, South Frederick Street.

mineral pOisons put up in neat and compact
form, and may be taken in public private
mousse or while travelling, without exposure or
hindrance from business, and except in cases of
violent Inflammation, no change of diet is neces-
sary.

ton ovcrtahcs them, that no time should be lost
