Medical ''Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, lonvo behind ns Footprints on the sands of Time." TIRE 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 1 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." But to that youth—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 hinv the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have ? What aspirations ? What clianco 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, vigoroup, healthy mind, in a healthy body—the power to conceive.—the energy ; to execute! But look at our Australian; youth 1 See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the -listless l hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, 1 almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, ana 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 hns been devoted to the treatment of these cases ? Reader, what is your answer ! Let each one answer for Parents see: their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them' become emaciated oid-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 )i\ warding oft tlie;impending-doom of a" n\iserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore theenervated system to its natur'aUvigour, and ensure a joyous and happy " Dγ 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 Marriel 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 means many thousands of patients have been cured whom he hns never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on witli 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 ever 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 allisuffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L. L. Smith's plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding as it doesjvthe : inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Address—-: . DR. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins street.east, Melbourne.
