The silent doctor shook his head. ” 11 While there is life there’s hope he cried. ” “ JEyrolo, dumanimasest, spss est.” DR- L. L. SMI T II (The only legally-qualified medical 1 man advertising.) r CONSULT S On all affections of the Nervous System ' (no matter from what cause arising.) * On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indisr cretions. , On Oout. , On Rheumatism. In those colonies, those excesses which , | we have indulged in “hot youth” tell upon ' i us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings ■< : futile. The sole idea should be the chances i ; we possess of remedying the ills we already i ; hj ive, or combating the effects likelv to remit. Hide it as lie may, put on ns good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or larer his vices will discover him to the world. Our faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of om future offspring, and the duty, we owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, and points out to ns, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential elerk, before employing a barrister, a careiul man makes enquiries as to their standing, their length of occupancy or residence ; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults bint upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are mined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money. Have 1 not for years pointed out to them that I, Or. L. L. Smith, am the only leaally-quali tied medical man advertising in the colonies! Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodync, Essence of L'fe, etc.,—and had them analysed and found them to consist of “ Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter,” and the certificates I have proved to be all forgeries it is for this rea««n that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study.
