DOCTOR SMITH

-IAS for many years devoted his whole atten-
-1tion to the treatment of private complaints,
i all their varied and complicated forms. His
reat success in those long standing and diff
ult cases, such were formerly considered in
urable, is sufficient to commend him to the pub
ic as worthy Of the extensive patronage which
G has received. Within the last eight years,
Dr.. S. has treated moro than 29j0O cases OF
'rivate Complaints in their different forms and
tages a practice which no doubt exceeds that
f all the physicians now advertising in Bati
more, and not a single case is known, where di-
ections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
zen at reasonable time, without .ifecting rad
cal and permanent cure; therefore, persons al
ected with diseases of the above nature, ''no
laAer how difficult or long standing the case
lay be, would do well to call on DR.. SMITH,
t his office, No. | l, South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should bear in mind that DR.. S.
ho is the only regular physician advertising,
RS for many years devoted his whole attention

His medicines are free from Mercury and all
incral poisons put up in neat and compact

puse, or while travelling, without exposure or
ndrance from business, and except in cases of
olent inflammation, no ochange of diet is neces

Z .dicai istunt to be moderate in his charges
than lie could justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease more widely
difused. The rapid advance of this truly ter
rifying dsease, is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotches
with racking pains, betray to the unhappy vic
tim the deadly poison preying upon his yitals,
then, "und not till them" do many awake to
full sense of their danger.
We are called upon every few days to cure

care, and the immense suffering which little

his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly
