L. L. Smith's Medicines " Up ! Up ! my friend, and clear your looks ! Why all this toil and trouble ? ALL those who are suffering from despondency, melancholia, loss of spirits and pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, and who are gradually getting weaker and weaker, from causes they have not the courage or the 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 sucli complaints, having been a pupil and assistant of the late Dr Culverwell, of London, who made these diseases his special practice. In all those diseases relating and pertaining to Married Life, and which make marriage 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 cases of extreme Nervous Debility, where the patient feels that he is exhausted and physically prostrated, and incapable of exertion without 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 enervating iniluence of hot climates, J 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 sutler from the above hav« not — "Mix'd reason with pleasure And wisdom with mirth ;" Put 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 men, at last given up all hope and succumbed, and are aged in their very youth, unfitted to futil 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.'' Mr L. L. Smith wishes to impress upon those who are labouring under diseases wliicii cannot be treated by the general medical attendant, from insufficient knowledge and practice, that 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 oul of the pockets of the patients, but are con tinually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds yearly presenl themselves to him from all parts of the different colonies, who are thoroughly bank rupt in health and pocket, and they thei lament, when too late, the horrible deceptioi which has been practised on them. Not only do men deceive those unfortunat victims by pretending to be legally-qualifid men, but they advertise for sale, and swindli the public, by selling bottles of muck, mule I the name of " Dr lticord's Essence of Life, 1 * 'Balm of Syriacum," and a mass of otbfi 1 quackeries, whose sole province is to extrac money out of the pockets of their deluded vio tims. Will the public never understand that ft only guarantee they can have that they wi bo honestly and skilfully treated, is the hi that the person to whom they apply for ad j vice is a legally-qualified medical man, vh has devoted his time to the branch of practif for which the patient is seeking aid Secondly, that his long residence in the plact and his position, is at least a guarantee of th estimation in which he is held by his fellon Mr L. L. Smith can be consulted by lettei fee, £l. By the above means, any male or fenwl patient can, by describing their symptom avoid the unpleasantness, in many cases, | a personal interview, and the patient canlj tain his incognito. Medicines appropriately packed to avoi observation are sent to all parts of the col nies, with plain letters as to diet, ivc. MrL. L. Smith consults personally daiffl mornings before 11, and evenings between ; mill ') 0'? I>. mvl.-n-sivrnrif on at iifoll-wiiiriie. ;
