" Up ! Up ! my friend, and clear your lfl Why all this toil and trouble ? ALL those who are suffering from deafi dency, melancholia, loss of spiritsH pluck, who feel that they are wastingM pining, and who are gradually getting wJ§. i and weaker, from causes they have notßk ( courage or the desire to acquaint their faßj attendant with : in all such cases, Mr IH Smith feels it incumbent on himself to inm - such unfortunate patients, that he hasm. voted his lifetime to the study of such Jh plaints, having been a pupil and assistant the late Dr Culverwell, of London, whorr r« these diseases his special practice. § In all those diseases relating and pertaii to Married Life, and which make mania- )# curse rather than a blessing, MrL. L. S> he can be consulted with the greatest certa ;rii of success, and with the additional fee M that no chance can possibly occur of t M secret ever being divulged. e j In cases of extreme Nervous Debility, wl the patient feels that he is exhausted M physically prostrated, and incapable of e: n0 tion without fatigue, then and there the; *! son so situated should at once consult Mi «t L. Smith, before disease of a more seri isf character sets in ; the above arises frequei ti( from the enervating influence of hot clima it< but frequently from other causes of a hk serious nature. Palpitations of the heart, a tendency ffit'o to be easily startled and alarmed, is anotgtto phase of disease which requires partictßta attention, as arising from a most imporaHft* cause ; those who suffer from the above hffi. a " Mix'd reason with pleasure Ip 0 And wisdom with mirth ;" IL. But have, on the contrary, been guilty BVj a secret vice, which has, as it were, eatlfc c into their very vitals. Many " old youjj men" consult me, who, though young in yeaii have, through the vice above alluded Jh\ and by their having been quacked by the v. J qualified and unskilful medical men, at lijus given up all hope and succumbed, and asfH aged in their very youth, unfitted to fufil 11 duties which they were sent to this world '%- perform. |r "Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, Jp Procrastination is the thief of time.'' ;-; Mr L. L. Smith wishes to impress up Xi those who are labouring under diseases whi cannot be treated by the general medio I attendant, from insufficient knowledge at j practice, that as an expert in these disease * he has the right to warn the public at larver against the number of blatant charlatans quacks, who not only extort the money o' — of the pockets of the patients, but are co tinually ruining the health of theunfortuna sufferers. Many hundreds yearly presefjL themselves to him from all parts of the dijy ferent colonies, who are thoroughly ban! , rupt in health and pocket, and they thli* lament, when too late, the horrible decepl.*^ l which has been practised on them. Not only do men deceive those unfortura', victims by pretending to be legally-qualifit jf men, but they advertise for sale, and swindt* the public, by selling bottles of muck, undi 1 the name of "Dr Ricord's Essence of Life,,] " Balm of Syriacum," and a mass of otlinf quackeries, whose sole province is to extraPf money out of the pockets of their deluded \*M tims. Will the public never understand that tf J only guarantee they can have that they wi-if be honestly and skilfully treated, is the that the person to whom they apply for afl vice is a legally-qualified medical man, wK-1 has devoted his time to the branch of practit I for which the patient is seeking aid|! Secondly, that his long residence in the placi 1 and his position, is at least a guarantee of tlill estimation in which he is held by his fello?"] citizAms. Mr L. L. Smith can be conculted.by letter j fee, £l. ?| By the above" means, any male or femaM patient can, by describing their symptoms avoid the unpleasantness, in many cases, o a personal interview, and the patient can rf tain his incognito. Medicines appropriately packed to avni observation are sent to all parts of the colt nies, with plain letters as to diet, &c. MrL. L. Smith consults personally dailymornings before 11, and evenings between and 0, 02 Bourke-street east, Melbourne.
