Why all this toil and trouble 2” ALL those who are suffering from despondence, melancholia, loss of spirits, and pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, and who arc gradually g- tting weaker and weaker, from causes they have nof courage or desire to acquaint th ir family attendant with. In all such cases Mr. L. L. SMITH feels ii incumbent on himself to inform such unfortunate patients, that he has devoted his lifetime to the study of these complaints, having been a pupil and assistant of the late Dr. Culve well, of London, who made these diseases his special praolico. In all those diseases relating and pertaining to Married Life, and which make marriage a curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L Lmith can be consulted wi hj 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 fee’s that he is exhausted and physically prostrated, and incapable of evertion without great fatigue, then and there the person so situated should at once consult Mr. L L. SMITH before disease of a more se ions character sets in ; the above arises frequently from the enervating influence of hot clima'es, but frequently from other causesfova moM'sorious Palpitations of also to be easily starve 1 aucTadarnfm, is another | phase of disease whizfi requires particular I attention, as arisin/trom a most important ' cause ; those who suffer from the above have not—“Mix’d with pleasure, An I wisdom with mirth.” But 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 from their having been quacked by the unqualified and unskilful medical man, at last given up all hope and succumbed, and are aged in their very youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties which they are sent on this earth to berform. “Be wise to-day, ’tis madness to defer Procrastination is the thief of time. ” Mr. L. L. SMITH wishes to impress on those who are laboring under diseases which cannot be treated by the general medical attendant, from insufficient knowledge and practice, that as an export 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, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present themselves to him from all the different colonies, who arc thoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, and then lament, when too late, the horrible deception which has been practised on them. Not onlydomen deceivetheseunfortunate victims by pretending to be legally qualified men, but they advertise for sale, andswindlo the public, by selling bottles of muck, under the name of '* Dr. Ricord’s Essence of Life,” “Balm of Syriacum," and a mass of quackeries, whose sole province is to extract money out of the pockets of their deluded victims. Will the public never understand that the only guarantee they can have that they will be 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 at least a guarantee of the estimation in which ho is hold by his fellow-citizens Dr. L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter ; fee £l. By the above moans any male or female patient can. by describing their symptoms avoid the, in many cases, unpleasantness of a personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito. Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to all parts of the colohcs, with plain letters of instruction as to diet, &c., Mr. L. L, SMITH consults personally daily, morning, before 11, and evenings beween 7 and 9.—192,' Bourke-strcct east, Melbourne.
