“ Lives of treat. mmi all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; Anil, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” HE above is read with great interest by thousands of ycung men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas ! sr.y ma.uy, this is cor-rect,-is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength—ami to the man who has 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 ha? given unbridled,lie.use to bis passions, to him the above lines are hut ns a reproach. What Hope can he have? 'V hat aspirations ? What chance of leaving his footprints on the sands of lime? For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self reproach fur a lost lije. Fora man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. lie. must possess a some.!, 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 loo!:, the listless hesiiaiiug manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Koto his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is that a man to leave his footprints on the. sands of time. Lo parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject ? Bo they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duly demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of Ins profession his particular specialty, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases? Header, what is your answer ? Let each one answer for himself. Barents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see tin Vi 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 oil 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. Sal ITU, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. Ills 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 supeifluous- (by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never s en ami never known); and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this bianuli of his piofessiou foi twenty-six years in these colonics, no single instance of accidental dis covery has ever yet happened. Win n medicines arc required, these are forwarded in the same careful maimer without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Biain and clear directions accompany those latter, ami a cure is eUcutod without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated and Lorn any Disease whatever. *’iv. L. L.
