of g^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^l mal^^^^^^^^^^^^^^H departin^^^^^^^^^^^^H on T^^^^^^^^^^^^J THE above by thousands inspires them with bright lexicon of youth word as fail. Alas 1 say correct,—-is true with youth who has never abused his strel|H —and to the man who has not been! " passion's slave." But to that youth—to that man who has wasted hie 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 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 Drofession 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, enfeebled, unfitted for 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 off the impending doom of a miserable and _rloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigour, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr L. L. Smith, 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 Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married 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 menus many thousands of patients have been cured whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision 'that though 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 mannner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. .Plain and clear directions accompany ; theee latter, ajid a cure is affected without even the physician knowing who is liis patient.
