PROFESSOR DEWHURST'S ADDRESS TO THE AFFLICTED 



PUBLIC. 



" Science should contribute to the comfort, health, and happiness of 



mankind." 



PROFESSOR DEWHURST, F.W.N.S., Consulting Sur- 

 geon-Accoucheur, &c, most respectfully announces to his 

 friends and the public, that, he may be daily consulted {at first 

 by /e#er),inall cases requiring medical or surgical assistance, 

 particularly in all nervous complaints; chronic indigestion, 

 and that of elderly people; spasms of the stomach and bowels; 

 general relaxation, inflammations, and other affections of 

 the lungs, producing consumption; loss of appetite ; languor; 

 tremor ; palpitation; palsies ; despondency ; want of energy ; 

 chronic ; head-ache ; costiveness ; worms, especially those 

 which trouble children ; hysteric diseases ; female com- 

 laints, connected with debility, and dropsical swe llings of 

 the legs ; restlessness, and frightful dreams ; rheumatism, 

 gout, &c, and most disorders affecting the human frame.

 various symptoms afflicting the patient are taken into con- 

 sideration, and every case treated as its urgency may re- 

 quire. It being utterly impossible, notwithstanding the 

 present reign of Quackery, that any one medicine should 

 cure every disease. From the long experience Professor 

 Dewhurst has enjoyed in the practice of the three 

 branches of the profession, he has devoted himself to the 

 study and cure of disease, and not to that of mere mercenary 

 motives, the sole object of the unblushing empirics, who, to 

 the disgrace of the country, infest particularly this me- 

 tropolis, and after draining the pockets of their unfortunate 

 victims, leave them in a miserable condition both of body 

 and mind, and in the majority of cases, the constitution 

 totally destroyed. 



In offering himself to the afflicted public, as a prac- 

 titioner of the healing art, Professor Dewhurst begs to 

 observe that his method of cure is founded entirely upon his
