Melinl ••Lives of treat; m<*n all remind us, We can make our lives sub.ime ; 1 And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” THE aLove 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 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 yieldec v .jasel' ■up to the temporary sweet allurements el ■vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have? What aspirations ? What chance of leaving hi* footprints on the sands of time ? -For Vn., alas'! there is nought but dark despair and self reproach for a lout life. ‘For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He nmsr possess a sound, vigorous healthy mind, ir, a healthy b. dy—the power toconceive—the energy to execute I But look at our Australian youth I Sue 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 on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men 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 skilled advice of the medical man, who has •made this branch of his profession his particular sp cial y, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of there cases? Reader, what is y«mr answer ? Lei each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually belore their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken ■down in liealtli, enfeebled,-unfitted for the ■battle o lite ; yet one word might save them, one sound ami vigorous health giving latter from a medicai man. habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in mom instances, succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore 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 esp* daily devoted ! ■to the treatment of Nervous Affections and | the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His | skill is available to alt- no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letteris new so well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous- (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 nrauch of his pro fession for twenty-six yeais in these colonies, no single instance of accidental dis covery has ever yet happened. W hen medicines are required, these are forwarded in ■the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discuveted. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patient.
