“ Lives of ereat men all remind m, Wo can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” HE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there ia 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.mau, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unhridled.liceuse to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have? What aspirations ? What chance of leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, ho must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous healthy mind, in j 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 aeuseleas, ' almost idiotic expression Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is that a man to leave his f i 'prints on the sands of time. Do parouis, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of thisdecay ; and having done so, do they (as ! a strict souse of duty demands) seek tlie ! skilled advice of the medical man, who has 1 made this branch of his profession his parI titular specialty, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases? Header, what is y r our answer ? Let each oue 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, one sound and vigorous hea.th-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances, sue j ceed in warding off the impending doom of j a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment rest-re the enervated \ system to vs natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy bfe. Dr. L. L. S oITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of you'll ami those arising therefrom his peculiar acudy. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Warned Lue. 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 superfluous- (by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom lie has never s.-ou and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though lie has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in these colonics, no single instance of accidental dis covcry has ever yet happened. When medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careful maimer 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 ia his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated and from any Disease whatever, Dr. L. L. SMITH’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.
