" up ! Up ! my friend, anil clear your looks.! Why all this toll and trouble ? ALL those who are suffering from de3pon- . denoy, melancholU, loss of spirits and pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, anil who are gradually getting weaker and weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with : in all such cases, 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 (,'ulverwell, of London, who made these diseases his special practice. ■ , In all those diseases relating anil peibai fling to Married Life, and which make.marrkfie 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 easts of extreme Nervous Debility, where I the patient feels that he is exhausted and physiI cally prostrated, and incapable of exertion withI out great fatigue, then and there the person so j situated should at once consult Mr L. L. Smith, I before disease of a more serious character sets : in ; the above arises frequently from the ener rating 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 Nor — "Mix'd reason with pleasure And wisdom with mirth ;" But have, on the contrary, been guilty of a j secret vice, which has, as it were, eaten into | their very vitals. Many "oil young men'' j consult me, who, though young in years, have, I through the vice above alluded to, and by their j having been quacked by the unqualified and un- | skilful medic .1 in.in, at last given up all hope ! and succumbed, and are aged in their very I youth, unfitted to fultil 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.'' j Mr L. L. SMITH wishes to impress upon those wdio are labouring under diseases which cannot I be treated by the general medical attendant, | from insufficient knowledge and practice, that j a3 an expert in these diseases. Jie has the right to warn the public at large against the number j of blatant charlatans and quacks, who not only ' extort the money out of the pockets of the | patients, but are continually ruining the health lof tin unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds | yearly present themselves to him iroin all the j different colonies, who are thoroughly bankrupt j in health and pocket, and t'.iey tiien lament, i when too late, the horrible deception which has j been practised on them. Not only do men deceive those unfortunate ! victims by pretending to be legally-qualified I men, but thov advertise for sale, and swindle I the public, by soiling buttles of muck, under | the name of " l)r Kioord'a l£ss<>nu.e of Life,," | '• Balm of Syriactim," and 'a mass if other ! quackeries, whose sole province is tn extract j money out of the pockets of their deluded vie- ! tims. Will the public never understand that the I only guarantee they can have that they will be > honestly and skilfully treated, is the fact that i the person to whom they apply for advice is a \ legally-qualified medical man, who has devoted ! patient is seeking aid '! Secondly, that his long ! residence in the place, and his position, is r.t | least a guarantee of the estimation in which he ] is held by his fellow-citizens. I Br L. L. Smith can be consulted by letter : j fee, £1 By the above means, any male or female I patient can, by describing their symptoms, ! avoid the unpleasantness, in many cases, of a j personal interview, and the patient can retain ! his incognito. j Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation aro sent to all pars of the colonies, I with plain letters as to diet, &c. j Mr L. L. Smith consults personally daily—- ] mornings before 11, and evenings before 7 and 9, ! Oli Buurke-street east, .Melbourne.
