DOCTOR SMITH

TIAS for many years devoted his whole atten
Ation to the treatment OF private complaints,
In all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing and diff
eslt cases, suoh as were formerly considered in
oarabls, is sufficient to commen d him to the pub
lie as worthy Of the extensive patronage which
be has received. Within the last eight years,
Or. 8. has treated more than 29, 500 cases OF
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which no doubt exceeds that
Of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
moro, and not a single case is known, where di-
rsotions were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without .ffectng rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons af-
Aioted with diseases of the above nature, ''no
matter how difieult or long standing the case
may be, wsuld do we'll to call on DR.. SMITH,
at bis otics, Ne. | South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should bear in mind that DR.. S.
who Is tho 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 pu. up in neat and compact
form, and may be taken in public or private
hosss, or while travelling, without exposure or
bindranos from business, and except in case of
violent in aammaton, no change Of diet is neces-
cary.
Let the unfortunate belr in mind when a1ic-
tisn ovsrtasos them, that no time should be lost
in making application to IL competent ply .ican,
as they would not only obtain relief from pnin.
AVOID m0rtIhcatlsn through exposure and clude
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to be moderate in his charges
ahan 10 yould justly be, where symptoms have
bsssAs confirmed or tho disease more widely
diaased. The rapid advance Of this truly ter
rifyiax disease, is sufficient to alarm the bodest
heart. When alteration and discolored Plotches
with ras,ing pains, betray to tho unhappy vic
tIs the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,
,hsu and net till them" do many awake to
fall sense of thoir danger.
". are called upon every few days to cure
chronie Diseases which were supposed to have
sssa sursd yeats ago, but instead of which, wore
oaly checked, driven into the system by mercu-
~ or csparia and therefore seems to be we'll but
ia a longer or shorter time, by some slight cause,
hrsak out in its worst and most difficult forms,
predicting ulcers u the throat, nose or roof of
she month, srruptions OF tho skin, pains or
swelling of bsnes, etc. On account OF the num-
bsr of such wh,ch have lately come under my
sars and the immense suffering which a little
nse sst or impropor treatment in the first stages
IT the dissrss may cause, DR.. Smith thinks it
his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly
..rsagsrs, t. be careful that they not decei-
we'd by EIlss advertisements of boasting quacks
who make promises which could not be fulfilled
sven by the most experienced physicians. By
ssslsot or improper treatment, the patient is Of
ten reducat to a state which makes the case ex-
trsusly difficult to cure. Therefore he should
bs aware Of thsimportanco Of consutinga skill
ful physioiae in the early stage of the disease.
