DOCTOR SMITH

LAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
4tion 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
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.. 8. has treated more than 20, 500 cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms ana
stages practice which nj doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now ADVERTISING in Baiti-
more, and not sin gle case is known, where d.
rsctions were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without stecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons al
ficted with diseases of the ao0ve nature, mo
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do woll to call on DR.. SMITH,
at his Office, No. II South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should bear ia mind that DR.. S.
who Is the only regular physician advertising,
has for many years devoted his whole attention
to the treutm mt Of this class of Diseases.
His me dicines arc free from Mercury and all
mineral poisous; put up in neat and compact
form, and may he taken in public or private
house, or while travelling, without exposure or
bindrance from basiness, and except in cases OF
violent inaa NJ nation, no change of dietis neces-
sary.
Lat theunfortunate bear in mind when aflc-
tion ov .rtakcs them, that no time should be lost
in making application to competentphyh
as they would not only obtain rolief from pain.
avoid morti6ca cation through exposure and elude
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to DO moderate in his charges
than he .ould justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or tho disease more widely
diRused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying disease is suthcient to alarm the bodest
heart When ulceraton aud discolored Plotches
with rlckinS paius, betray to the unhappy VIC
tim tho deadly poison preying upon his vitais,
them "and not till thon,' do many awake to
full souse OF their 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, wero
only checked driven into the system by mertn-
ryor 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 iu the throat, nose or roof oil
the mouth erruptions of the skin, pains or
.vslling of bones, etc. On account OF the num-
Der of sue, which have iatcly come under my
care, and the immense suffering which little
NEGLECT or improper treatment in the hrst stages
of the discrse may cause, DR.. Smith thinks 1t
his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly
.tyanqers, 80 be careful that they are not decei-
we'd BY fttiss adoertissments Of doasttn9 qudcks
who make promises which could not be fulfilled
even by tho IN ost experienced physicians. By
neglect or improper treatment, the patient is Of
ten reducad to a state which makes the case ex-
,rsmelv difficult to cure. Therefore he should
bo aware of the Importance Of consulting 4 skill
