DAVID R. HAY. I

“Up ! Up ! my friend, and clear your looks ! I Why all this toil and trouble ? ALL those who are suffering from despoil* | deucy, melancholia, loss of spirits and | pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, | and who are gradually getting weaker and f weaker, from causes they have not courage or | desire to acquaint their family .attendant with ; j in all such cases, Mr L. L. Smith feels it in* [ cumbent on himself to inform such unfortunate I patients, that he has devoted his lifetime to the | study of these complaints, having been n pupil | and assistant of the late Dr Culverwell, of I London, who made these diseases his special! practice. In all those diseases relating and pertaining to j Married Life, and which make marriage a curse [ rather than a ble-sing, Mr L. L. Smith can be { consulted with the greatest certainty of success, j and with the additional feeling that no chance j can possibly occur of their secret ever being j divulged. In cases of extreme Nervous Debility, where j the patient feels that In; is exhausted and physi* j cally prostrated, and incapable of exertion with- i oat 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 rner rating influence of hot climates, hut 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 sot—"Mix’d reason with pleasure And wisdom with mirth Rut 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 tip all hope and succumbed, and are aged in their very youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties which they were sent to this world to perform. " Re 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, Hint as an expert in these diseases, he has the right to warn the public at large against the number of blatant charlatans and quacks, who not only extort the money out of the pockets of the patients, hut are continually ruining the health of tin unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present ; hems elves to him from all the different colonies, who arc thoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, ami 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 he legally-qualified men, but they advertise for sale, and swindle the public, by selling bottles of muck, under the name of "Dr liieord’s Essence of Life," “Balm of Syriaeniu,” and a mass of other qnack-uics, whose sole province is to extract j money out of the pockets of their deluded victims. Will the public never understand that the only guarantee they can have that they will he honestly and skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to whom they apply for advice is a legally-qualified 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 ft j least a guarantee of the estimation in which he is held by his fellow-citizens. Dr L. L. Smith can he. consulted by letter : fee, ill. By the above means, any male or female patient can, by describing their symptoms, avoid the unpleasantness, in many cases, of a personal interview, and the patient retain his incognito. Medicines appropriately packed to .avoid observation arc sent to all parts of the colonies, i with plain letters as to diet, kc. Mr B. 1.. Smith consults personally dailymornings before 11, and evenings before. 7 anclO, 02 Buui'ke-strcet cast, Melbourne.
