“ Lives of crcat mmi all ’remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” THE above is read with "rent interest by thousands of ycung men. It inspijAHiem with Hops, for in the bright Ic/iomr n f/yqu th there is no such word as buymany, this is correct,— isAnieWiVn ftfgalrl- to the youth who has never ajrfised his strength—and to the man whiyhas not been “ passion’s slave.” But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unhridledjioense to his passions, to him the above lines arc but as a reproach. What Hops can he have? What aspirations ? What chance of leaving Ais footprints on the sands of time? For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self reproach for a tost life. For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. 11c must possess a sound, vigorous healthy mind, in a healthy body—the power to conceive—the energy to execute ! But look at our Australian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is that a man to leave Ais footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sutiicient attention to this subject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his particular specialty, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases? Reader, what is your answer ? Lot each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny failing gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man. habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances, sue ceed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment rest >re the enervated system toils natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr. L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all -no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would be supei lluous- (by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six yeais in these colonies, no single instance of accidental dis covery has ever yet happened. When medicines are required, those are forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated and from any Disease whatever, Dr. L. L. SM ITH’S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Address — DR. L L. SMITH, 182 Collins Street, MELBOURNE. (Late the residence of the Governor). CONSULTATION FEE BY LETTER,
