Dunedm Advertisements. ER SIGNED Begs to inform the INHABITANTS PROVINCE OF OTAGO That the business hitherto carried on by him under the name and style of HAY BROS., Tailors & Outfitters, Princosstreet, Dunedin, will on and after this date be carried on by him under the name and style of DAVID R. HAY, TAILOR AND OUTFITTER, PRINCES-STREET, DUNEDIN, DAVID R. HAY. Princes-street, Dunedin, 26th March, 1870. N.B. With reference to the above, I beg most respectfully to inform all those who are indebted to the late firm that I shall feel extremely obliged to them if they will be kind enough to settle their accounts A T ONCh. DAVID TL HAY. " Up ! \~v ! my friend, and clear your looks ! Why all this toil and trouble ? \LL those who are suffering from despondency, melancholii, loss of spirits and pluck, who feel thatthev are wasting and pining, and who are gradually getting weaker and weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with : in all such casus, Mr L. L. Smith feels it incumbent on himself to inform such unfortunate patients, that he has devoted his lifetime to the study of these complaints, having been a pupil and assistant of the late Dr Culverwell, of London, who made these diseases his special practice. In all those diseases relating and pertaining to Married Life, and which make marriage a curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L. Smith can be consulted with the greatest certainty of success, and with the additional feeling that no chance can possibly occur of their secret ever being divulged. In cases of extreme Nervous Debility, where the patient feels that he is exhausted and physically prostrated, and incapable of exertion without great fatigue, then and there the person so situated should at once consult Mr L. L. Smith, before disease of a more serious character sets in ; the above arises frequently from the enervating influence of hot climates, but frequently from other causes of a more serious nature. Palpitations of the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed, is another phase of disease which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause ; those who suffer from the above have not—"Mix'd reason with pleasure And wisdom with mirth ;" But have, on the contrary, been guilty of a secret vice, which has, as it were, eaten into their very vitals. Many "old young men" consult me, who, though young in years, have, through the vice above alluded to, and by their having been quacked by the unqualified and unskilful medical man, at last given up all hope and succumbed, and are aged iu their very youth, unfitted'to fulfil the duties which they were sent to this world to perform. " Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time,'' Mr L. L. Smith wishes to impress upon those who are labouring under diseases which cannot be treated by the general medical attendant, from insufficient knowledge and practice, that as an expert in these diseases, he lias the right to warn the public at largo against the number of blatant charlatans and quacks, who not only extort the money out of the pockets of the patients, but arc continually ruining the health of the sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present themselves to him from all the different colonics, who are thoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, and they then lament, when too late, the horrible deception which has been practised on them. Not only do men deceive those unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they advertise for sale', and swindle the public, by selling bottles of muck, under the name of " Dr Rieurd's- Essence of Life," " Ualm of Syriacuin," and a mass of other quackeries, whose sole province is to extract money out of the pockets of their deluded victims. Will the public never understand that the only guarantee they can have that they will be honestly and skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to whom they apply for advice is a lcgallv-qna,litied medical man, who has devoted his time to the branch of practice for which the patient is seeking aid ? Secondly, that his long residence in the place, and his position, is at least a guarantee <>f the estimation in which he is held by his fellow-citizens. Dr I. L. Smith can be consulted by letter : fee, £l. By the above moans, any male or female patient can, by describing their symptoms, avoid the unpleasantness, in many cases, of a personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognitc. Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to all parts of the colonies, with plain letters as to diet, ic. Mr L. 1..
