“Up! Up ! my friend, and clear your looks! "Why all this toil and trouble ? ALL those who are suffering from despot deucy, melancholia, loss of spirits an pluck, who feel that they are wasting an pining, and who are gradually getting weak and weaker, from causes they have not tl courage or the desire to acquaint their family attendant with ; in all such cases, Mr L. I Smith feels it incumbent on himself to inform such unfortunate patients, that he lias de voted his lifetime to the study of such con’i plaints, having been a pupil and assistant rthe late Dr Culverwell, of London, who mad; these diseases his special practice. In all those diseases relating and pertainin to Married Life, and which make marriage curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L. Sm it/ can he consulted with the greatest certain of success, and with the additional feeling that no chance can possibly occur of thei'j secret ever being divulged. } In cases of extreme Nervous Debility, where the patient feels that he is exhausted any physically prostrated, and incapable of exertion without fatigue, then and there the per| son so situated should at once consult Mr L*j L. Smith, before disease of a more scrio'J character sets in ; the above arises frequent'd from the enervating influence of hot climates-; but frequently from other causes of a murS serious nature. Palpitations of the heart, a tendency alsfl to be easily startled and alarmed, is anotliej phase of disease which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause ; those who suffer from the above havi i not — ‘“Mix’d reason with pleasure And wisdom with mirth But have, on the contrary, been guilty a secret vice, which has, as it were, eahffflb into then* very vitals. Many “ old youn: men” consult mo, who, tin nigh young in yean I have, through the vice above alluded tc V and by their having been quacked by the tiny, qualified and unskilful medical men, at !as|* given up all hope and succumbed, and ar, 1 aged in their very youth, unfitted tofuliltk j duties which they were sent to this world ti -g, perform. “Be wise to-day, ’tis madness to defer, P< Procrastination is the thief of time. ’ Mr L. L. Smith wishes to impress upnt those who are labouring under diseases cannot ho treated by the general media ■ : attendant, from insufficient knowledge an. practice, that as an expert in these diseases ' ‘ ho has the right to warn the public at largo* against the number of blatant charlatans an ,ri *’ quacks, who not only extort the money oiTaf of the pockets of the patients, but are cm; timially ruining the health of theunfortunatj sufferers. Many hundreds • yearly preser themselves to him from all parts of the di:* fereut colonies, who are thoroughly hauled nipt in health and pocket, and they tlu' lament, when too late, the horrible dcccptin which has been practised on them. Not only do men deceive those mi for turnip victims by pretending to ho logally-qualitkv J men, hut they advertise for sale, and swiiull | the public, by selling bottles of muck, mule IV the name of “Dr Bicoid’s Essence of Lifo.Jat, ” Balm of Syriacuin,” and a mass of of lit . quackeries, whose sole province is to cxtrac money out of the pockets of their deluded tims. Will the public never understand that tli > only guarantee they can have that they m , he honestly and skilfully treated, is the facyv that the person to whom they apply for ad |, j vice is a legally-qualified medical man, wli , has devoted his time to the branch of practic for which the patient is seeking aid §1 Secondly, that his long residence in the place- J and his position, is at least a guarantee of tlifiej estimation in which ho is held by his felloff citizens. Mr L. L. Smith can be consulted by letter fee, £l. Oj By the above means, any male or fcraal a patient can, by describing their symptom* avoid the unpleasantness, in many cases, r a personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito, - Medicines appropriately packed to.avoii observation are sent to all parts of the cub nies, with plain letters as to diet, Wc.
