    TO THE AFFMCTED- In the first part of this pamphlet I gave you a short description of Diseases Of the Skin, merely enough to give you the name and nature of your case. I am well aware the description is not full enough to meet every case, particularly where two or even three humors mix, as they frequently do, on the same person. I have avoided all description of the mixed cases, as it will create confusion. In other cases, the patient may and often does have a complication of other diseases: in such cases you will remember that if the DISCOVERY does not relieve you, there is no possibility of its doing yon any injury, if it does not operate too much on the bowelsr which any one of common sense can guard against. I am happy to hear from the Afflicted at all times, and willing to give advice in difficult and complicated cases,, according to the best of my knowledge; but the patient must write his POST OFFICE ADDRESS IN PLAIN ENGLISH I I have destroyed hundreds of letters where the writers expressed themselves as suffering all the miseries flesh can bear, and where I was confident a few simple outward appli- cations would bring relief, but the name of the State being omitted, no answer could be sent. ^jJTwwical uajj^
