DOCTOR SMITH

LAS for many years devoted his whole atten
AAtlon 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 as 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.. 8. has treated more than 20, 500 cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages a practice which NO doubt exceeds that
OF all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not single case is known, where di-
fections wero strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without efecting rad
ieal and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
ficted with diseases of the above nature, emo
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do we'll to caIl 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
house, or while travelling, without exposure or
bindrance from business, and except in cases of
violent Inflammation, no change of diet is neces-
sary.s
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when afllic-
tion Overtaies them, that n o time should be lost
in making application to u competent phyaician,
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, whore symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease moro widely
diRused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotohes
with racking pains, betray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,
then "and OF till them do many awake to II
fuu ssuino of their danger.
Weare 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 m ercn-
ry or copava 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 er
swelling of bones, etc. On account OF the num-
ber of such which have lately come under my
core, and the immense suffering which little
neplect or improper treatment in the first stages
of the diserse 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 he should
be aware of the Importance of consultinga skill
ful ph ysician in the early stage of the disease.
