!> Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing. leavo behind ns Fcoipri'i*is on ibe sands o£ Time." "Till E above is read with gieat interest JL by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such wore) as fp.il, Alas ! say many, tins is correct, —is true with regard to tie youth who has never abused bis strength —and to the man who has not been " passion's slave." But to that youth—to that man who has wasted his Vigour, who has yielded himself up to ihe temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license lo 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 1 For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he musi. 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, aud 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, i do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the ■ medical man, who has made this branch 1 of his m'ofessioii his particular speciality, \ who?c life hiS been devoted to the treal- \ ment of these ca?-es ? Header, what is i your answer ! Let each one answer for i himself. Parents see their progeny i fading gradually before their sight, 3ee ' them become emaciated old-young men, broken down in health, enfeebled,.'unfitted I for the battle of life ; yet one word might ' save them, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, • habituated to Ihe treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances, succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treat- *. ment restore the enervated system to its j natural vigour, and ensure a joyous and 1 happy life. [ Dr L. L. Smit-3, of Melbourne, has [ made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. - His whole professional life has been * especi'.lly devoted to ihe treatment 1 of i\A-*v*c,us Affections and ihe Diseases •' incidental to JMarrie*.' Life.' His skill is available to all—no matter how many iu't't'ieAs or thousands of miles distant. His iVi-su'tn of eo>'i-e:'pomience by letter is n-**w so well organised and known, ihat common- would be superfluous (by ■bis me*-us many thousands of patiems have been cured whom he has never . seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with isueh judicious supervision that though he has been practising this bran eh of his profession for twenty-six years ia these Colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When medicines are required these are forwarded in the same i careful mammer without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. PLin and clear directions accompany those latter, and a enre is afk-c-cd without even the physiciau knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with broken ■A.vi Constitutions, the Nervous, the Dcbilii■.iled, and all suffering from any i lA.vj.i-ie whatever, Dr L. L. Smith's ! plan of 'iie.'Ame.'it commends itself, avoidj mvi as it d,'e.-', the inconvenience and j expense oi a pergonal visit. 1 Aiieress— j DR. L. L.
