'• Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our Jives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of Time." I TnPIE above is read with great interest JL by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas ! many, this is correct, —is true with regard;- to the youth who has never abused his strength' —an# to the man who has" not' been! " passion's slave." But to that youth—to that ma,n who has wasted his Vigour, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he hove? What aspirations ? What chance of leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For him alas! there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach for a lost life ! For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body—the power to conceive—the energy to execute' But look at our Australian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is that a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time ? Do parents, medical men, and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ? and having done so ; do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his nrofession his particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases ? Reader, what is your answer ! Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old-young men, broken down in health, for the battle of life ; yet one word might 'saye them, one sound and vigorous heal Eli-giving letter from a medical man, ■ habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances, succeed in warding oft the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigour, and ensure a joyous and happy life. JJr L. L. Ssiith, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted, to the treatment of Nervous Afftction< and the Diseases incidental to Marrie.l Life. His skill is available to all—no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous (by this moans -many thousands of patients have been cured whom he has never seen and neve known},;,and.it is-carried-on \yith such judiciqjus supervision £hat. though Tie lias bepn practising this. "branch'of his profession-for twenty-six years in these Colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has eve ,, • yet happened. When medicines are required these are forwarded in the same careful mannner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is affected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with broken down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L. L. Smith's plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding as it docs, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. ■.Addreas— . DR. L, L. SMITH, 182 Co;-iiis-Bfc-eot-east, Melbourne.
