MEDICAL HOUSE.
DOCTOR SMITH

II AS for many years devoted his whole atten-
AAtion to the treatment of private complaints,
IN all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing and diff.
cult eases, such rs were Formerly considered in
durable, is sufficient to cOmmendh i'm to the pub
nc rs worthy OF the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years,
DR.. 8. has treated moro than 20, 500 cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages; practice which NJ doubt exceeds that
of all the physic iang now advertising in Balti-
more, and not sin gle case is known, where d.
rsctions were strictly followed, and medicine ia
ken at reasonable time, without .fccting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
ficted with diseases Of the above nature, 'no
matter how difficult or long standing tho case
may be-, would do woll 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 Tor MANY years devoted his whole attention
to the treatment Of this class of Diseases.
His medicines are FREQ from Mercury and all
mineral poisons put up in neat and compact
form, and may he 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.
r. Let the unfortunate bear in mind when Attic
ton ov.rtaacs them, that no time should be lost
IN making application to Il competent ply iician,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain.
avoid modification through exposure and elude
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to DO moderate in his charges
than he could justly be, where symptoms have
secome confirmed or tho disease more widely
siHused The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the boldes
heart When liberation aud discolored Plotches
with racking palms, batray to the unhappy vic
tim tho deadly poison preyng upon his vitals,
then, "and not till thon," do many awake to n
full sonso OF thcir danger.
We are called upon every few days TO cure
Chronic Diseases which were supposed to have
beep cured years ago, but instead Of which, wcro
only checked, driven into the system by mercu-
ry or copavia and therefore seems to DO we'll but
in longer or shorter time, by some slight cause,
break out in its worst and most difficult forms,
producing ulcers in tho throat, nose or roof of
the mouth, erruptions of the skin, pains or
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
neglect or improper treatment in the first stages
Of the discrse may cause, DR.. Smith thinks 1t
his duty to advise tho unfortunate, particularly
strangers, to be careful that they are not deceit
we'd by faiss Advertisements Of boasting quacks
who make promises which could not be fulfilled
even by tho most experienced physicians. By
OBJECT or improper treatment, the patient is Of
ten reducad to q state which makes the case ex-
trsmely difficult to cure. Therefore he should
DO aware of theimportancc Of consutinga skill
ful physician in the early stage of the disease.
