DOCTOR SMITH

TTAS for many wears devoted his whole atteD-
lltion to the treatment of private complaints,
in all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing and dill
cult cases, such MS 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.. 5. has treated more than 29,5OO cases oi
Private Complaints in their different forms and
staees a practice which n. doubt exceeds that
of all the physiciant now advertising in Balu-
more, and not single case is known, where di-
rcctions were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without ,fecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons al
aicted 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. 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
bndrance from business, and except III cases OF
violent Inflammation, nj change of dietis neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when afiiic-
ton overtahes them, that no time should be lost
in making application TO II competent phyHclhhi
as they would not only obtain relief from pam.
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
dihrused The Tupd advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the boldesi
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotche'
with racking pains, betray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitnls
then. "and not till them do many awake to 1
full sense of their danger.
We are called upon every few days to cnr'
Chronic Diseases. which were supposed to hav,
been cured years ago, but instead Of which, wcr'
only checked, driven into the system by merc'
nv or copayia and therefore seems to be well bu
in longer or shorter time, by some slight cause
break out in its worst and most difficult forms
producipr ulcers in the throat, nose or roof o
the mouth, erruptions Of the skin, pains oil
swelling OF bones, etc. On account Ui the mum
ber of such which have lately come under my
care md the immense suffering which Il llttl,
neglect or improper treatment in the first stagc'
of the discrse may cause, Dr. smith thinks u
his duty to advise the unfortunate, P"'ftcht"' 8
STRANGERS, TO be careful that they are not decei
we'd by fui.c dducrijscmcnts Of 6odst'ny fHdch
who rake promises which could not he fulfilled
even by the most experienced physicians. u!
neglect or improper treatment, the patient ls Of
ten reducaI to Il state which makes the case ex
tremelv difficult to cure. Therefore he should
be aware Of the Importance of consultinga skill
