MEDICAL HOUSE,
DOCTOR SMITH

IyAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
1lton 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 conmendllim to the pub
lie as worthy of the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years,
Dir. S. has treated more than 29,d00 cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which nu doubt exceeds that
| of all the physicians now advertising in Balu-
more, and not II single case is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta
ken at reasonable time, without etfecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
nicted with diseases of the above nature, ''no
| matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do well to call on DR.. SMITH,
at his office, No. 1, 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 puisons 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 cnses of
violent inflammation, nj change of diet is neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when nflc-
ton overtakcs them, that no time should be lost
in making application to II competent physician,
as they would not only obtain relief from pain.

CONSTITUTIONAL Debility.
Young men beware of the pcrnicous indul
gence an most fatal injury you infict upon
your constitutions by evil examples and the
morbid influence OF the passions.
How many young persons do we daily behoid,
whose counirpances an debiIits sted onstitutions
depict dscsse arising from that horribleand de-
vastating vice.
1t could be shown how attenuation OF the
frame, pslpitation of the heart, derangement OF
tho nervous system, cough, indigestion ana
train OF symptoms, indicative of consumption,
often sscribcd to wrong causes, when in re-
ality, they are the consequences an 'alluring
and pcrnicious practice alike destructive to the
mind and body.
You who have brought THIS afiiction upon
yourselves, why embrace the sccret to your
hearts and vainly attempt to cure yourselves,
instead Of making immediate application to a
skillfan physician, who in short timc, would
restore you to perfect health and save you from
exposure which tho fatal consequences render 1t
enYitable.
T.i-- DR.. Smith gives his special attention to
the treatment of this destructive mnlady. Pa
ticnts can be cured at home by addressing let
ter to Dr.. Smith, describing symptoms, and re-
ceive medicine securely packed from observation
forwarded by express or otherwise to any part
Of tho country.
N. B.-Persons afflicted with any of the
above com plaints will do we'll to avoid Joasting
fnpostors whether foreign or native, rs nlso the
numerous Societies advertised as certain cure
for ct cry disease. These preparations are put
up to sell and not to cure. and often do moro
harm than good, therefore avoid them.
