“ Lives of treat men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind ns Footprints on the sands of time.” THE 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 ! say many, this is correct,—is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength—and 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 has given unbridleddiceuse to his passions, to him iho above lines are hut as a reproach. What Hope can lie have ? What aspirations ? What chance of leaving Aw footprints on the sands of time ! For him, alas ! there is nought hut dark despair and self reproach for a lost lije. For a man to leave his foot prints on the sands of time, he must bo endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He 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 demeanoiir and conversation, and then say, Is that a man to leave his fo ■'.prints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical ram and educators of youth pay sufficient 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 j skilled advice of the medical man, who has ! made this branch of his profession his par- ; ticular specialty, whose life has been devo* | tod to the treatment of these eases? Header, I what is your answer ? Let each one answer j for himself. Parents see their progeny ! fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in hoaltli, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous he.i th-giving letter from a meilieai man. habituated to I the treatment and com unions supervision
