DOCTOR SMITH

| II AS for many years devoted his whole attcn =
lltion 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 a. worthy of the extensive patronage which
| he has received Within the last eight years,
| Dir. S. has treated more than 29,50U cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which nu doubt exceeds that
Of all the phySicians now advertising in Baiti
more, and not single case is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
/ ken at reasonable time, without ,ifecting rad
! ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
ilicted with diseases Of the above nature, "no
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would dc 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 all
mineral poiSuns put up in neat and compact
form, and may be taken in public private
house, or while travelling, without exposure or
bindruncc from business, and except in cases of
violent Inflammation, change of diet is neces-
sary.
Let tho unfortunate bear in mind when aflc-
ton ovcrtahes them, that no time should be lost
III making application to Il competent phi ysician,
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 the disease more widely
daused. The rapid advance Of this truly ter
rifying dscnsc, is sufficient tD alarm the hullest
heart. When liberation and discolorcd plotchcs
with racking pains, hetray 10 the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his yitals,
then. '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
been cured years ago, but instead of which, were
only checked driven into the system by merc,t-
ry or copayia and therefore seems to lie 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, crruptOns of the skin, pains
swelling of bones, etc. On account OF the num-
Der of such which have lately come under my
care, and the immense suffering which a little
nc eglcct or improper treatment in the first stages
of the discrso may cause, DR.. Smith thinks it
his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly
strangers, to be careful that they are not dccei-
we'd by foisc advertisements of bodsting qHacks
who make promises which could not be fulfilled
cyen by the most experienced physicians. By
neglect or improper treatment, the patient is Of
ten reducad to state which makes the case ey-
trcmcly difficult to cure. Therefore he should
be aware OF the Importance of consulting skill
full physician in the early stage of the disease.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBiLhiTY.
Young men beware OF the pernicious indul
gencc an d lmost fatal iniury you inhct upon |
your constitutions, by evil examples and the |
morbid influence of the passions.
How many young persons do we daily behold, |
whose countcnances and debiitatcd constitutions
depict disease arising from that horrible and de-
vastatng vice.
1t could be shown how attenuation of the |
frame, palpitation of the heart, arrangement of |
the nervous system, cough, indigestion and |
train of symptoms, indicative OF consumption, |
arc often ascribcd to wrong causes, when in re.
ality, they are the consequences OF an alluring |
and pcrniciOus practice alike destructive to the
nina and body.
You who have brought this addiction upon
yourselves, why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vainly attempt to cure yourselves,
instead Of making immediate application to a
skiIlnll ply ,ican, who in short time, would
restore you to perfect health and save you from
exposure which the fatal consequences render it
Zri5' DR.. Smith gives his special attention to
he treatment of this destructive malady. Pa
tients can be cured at home by addressing let
Ter to DR.. Smith, describing symptoms, and re-
,eive medicine securely packed from observation
'orwaried by express or otherwise to any part
IF the country. .-.....
N. B.--Persons afflicted with ary of the
bove mplaints will do we'll to avoid Joastiny
mpos'ors whether foreign or native, as also the
numerous Societies advertised as n certain cure
or e' cry disease. These preparations are put
p to sell and not to cure. and often do more
larm than good, therefore avoid them.
"a word to tho wise is sufficient"
