:> Lives of great men nil remind us, We can make our lives sn'olimo ; And, departing, leave behind ns Footprints on ilie sands of Time. , ' "TIH. S above is read with groat interest JL by thousands of young men. It inspires them witli Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youtli there is no such word as fail, Alas ! say many, this is correct, —is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength —and to the man who has not been " passion's slave." Eut to that youih—to that man 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 have? What aspirations ? What chance of leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For him alas! there is nought but dark despair and sel■'-reproach for a lost life ! For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed wiiha 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, Ihe nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is thai a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time? Do parents, medical men, and educatoi s of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject? Do they ever ascertain the cause of ihis 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 urofession his particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of tlie&e cases ? Reader, what is your answer ! Let each one answer for hi'liself. Parenis see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old-young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted foe the battle of life ; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-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 gloo'Dy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigour, and ensure a joyous and haopy life. Dr L. L. Sjuth, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising iherefrom his pculiar study. H ; s whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment o< Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Manic ! 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, lhat comment would be supe-fluous (by Uiis me ..ns many thousands of patients have been cured whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried oa with such judicious supervision that "hough, he has been 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 maunner 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 sill suffering from any Disease whatever, Dc L. L. Smivh's plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Address— DR. L. L. SMITB, IS2 Collios sfcteofc e.isfc, Melbourne.
