SHEPPERD - PROPRIETQ, " Up ! Up ! my friend, and clear your lc Why all this toil and trouble ? , LL those who are suffering from des J-A. dency, melancholia, loss of spirits pluck, who feel that they arc wasting pining, and who are gradually getting we and weaker, from causes they have not courage or trie desire to acquaint their la attendant with : in all such cases, Mr I Smith feels it incumbent on himself to in: such unfortunate patients, that he has voted his lifetime to the study of such i plaints, having been a pupil and assistur. the late Dr Culverwell, of London, when these diseases his special practice. In all those diseases relating and pertai to Married Life, and which make mama curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L. S: can be consulted with the greatest certa of success, and with the additional fei that no chance can possibly occur of t secret ever being divulged. In cases of extreme Nervous Debility, i the patient feels that he is exhausted physically prostrated, and incapable of i tion without fatigue, then and there the son so situated should at once consult H L. Smith, before disease of a more sei cliaraeter sets in ; the above arises freqtu from the enervating influence of hot clim but frequently from other causes of a i serious nature. Palpitations of the heart, a tendency to be easily startled and alarmed, is aw phase of disease which requires partii attention, as arising from a most impo: cause ; those who suffer from the above NOT—- " Mix'd reason with pleasure And wisdom with mirth ;" But have, on the contrary, been guilt a secret vice, which has, as it were, t into their very vitals. Many " old y men" consult me, who, though young iny have, through the vice above alluded and by their having been quacked by tin qualified and unskilful medical men, at given up all hope and succumbed, and aged in their very youth, unfitted to fufi I duties which they were sent to this worl 1 perform. '' lie wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer. Procrastination is the thief of time.' Mr L. L. Smith wishes to impress r | those who are labouring under diseases n I cannot be treated by the general me ! attendant, from insufficient knowledge I practice, that as an expert in these dise ) he has the right to warn the public at '. | against the number of blatant charlatans i quacks, who not only extort the money , of the pockets of the patients, but are) j tinually ruining the health of the unforti j sufferers. Many hundreds yearly pi ! themselves to him from all parts of the i ferent colonies, who are thoroughly 1 ; nipt in health and pocket, and they I lament, when too late, the horrible dece I which has been practised on them. Not only do men deceive those unforti i victims by pretending to be legally-qua : men, but they advertise for sale, and stc S the public, by selling bottles of muck, s j the name of " Dr Ricord's Essence of 1 i " Balm of Syriacum," and a mass off j quackeries, whose sole province is to es j money out of the pockets of their delude: I tints. Will the public never understand th.r ! only guarantee they can have that they j be honestly and skilfully treated, is the that the person to whom they apply foi 1 vice is a legally-qualified medical man, i has devoted his time to the branch of pt ' for which the patient is seeking I Secondly, that his long residence in the] 1 and his position, is at least a guarantee! | estimation in which he is held by his fi I citizens. Mr L. L. Smith can be consulted by li | fee, £l. By the above means, any male or ff | patient can, by describing their synip j avoid the unpleasantness, in many cas ! a personal interview, and the patient fl ! tain his incognito. Medicines appropriately packed to | observation are sent to all parts of the nies, with plain letters as to diet, &c. MrL. L. Smith consults personally (i' mornings before 11, and evenings betff and 9, 92 Bourke-street east, Meiboufl
