“ Lives of uivat uj'-n all remind us, g We can nuke our lives subime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” np ME aWo is read with great ini- JL terest by thousands of ycntur e men. It inspires them with Hope, for in s the bright lexicon of youth there is no such i* word as fail. Alas ! say many, this is cory rect, —is true with regard lo the youth who has never abused his strength—and to the i. man who has not been “ passion’s slave." But to that youth—to that man, who has y wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled.-license to his passions, to him the above lines are hut as a reproach. What Hope can he have ? ,1 What aspirations ? What chance of leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For y him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self reproach for a lost life. t Fora man todeave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be 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 1 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 Ids footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators ) of youth pay aulhciont attention to this subject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as n a strict souse of duty demands) seek the i- skilled advice of the medical man, who has j made this branch of his profession his par(j i ticular specialty, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases? Reader, what is your answer ? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading 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, onesoundand vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision i, of such cases, would, in moat instances, sue s i cecd in warding oil' ilie impending doom of ' ! a miserable and gloomy future, and by ap- - prop;late treatme it rest-re Iho enervated „ system to its natural vigor, ami ensure a I joyous and happy life. ■j Dr. L. L. S.dU’H, of Melbourne, has made thu diseases of youth and those arising ! therefrom his peculiar study. Ills whole | professional life has been esp-Clally devoted I to the treatment of Nervous Affections and - | the Diseases incidental toMarried Lilo.

When me- ■ dicincs are required, these 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 I] without even the physician knowing who is ;] his patient. 1 To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated V .
