DOCTOR SMITH

HAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
1ltion to the treatment Of private complaints,
in all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing and DIM
cult cases, such as were formerly considered in
durable, is sufficient to comm en- him to the pub
lie rs worthy of the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years,
DR.. 5. has treated more than 29,5OO cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which nu doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not Il single case is known, where di-
rcctions were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without ,ffecting a rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons ai-
hicted with diseases of the above nature, mo
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do well to call on DR.. SMITH
ut his Office, No. /, 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.
Ills 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
bindrancc from business, and except In cases OF
violent Inflammation, no change OF diet is neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when atliic-
ton overtahes them, that no time should be lost
in making application to competent phytician
us 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
dillused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifyiug disease is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotches
with rackug pains, betray to the unhappy Vie
tim the deadly poison preying upon his ritals,
then. "and not till then,' do many awake to a
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 mercn-
ry or sopaYia and therefore seems to be well 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, crruptions of the skin, pains or
swelling of bOnOs, etc. On account OF the num-
Der of such which have lately come under my
care and the immense suffering which II little
ne glect or improper treatment in the first stages
of the disersc 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 aducrfiscments Of dOustimy qnacks
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 n state which makes the case ex-
trcmelv difficult to cure. Therefore he should
be aware of the importance of consultinga skill
fuI nh .;c;nn in the parly stage of the disease,
