Ksdical '* Live* of great men all remind us, W* can make our lives sublime { And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.** THE above is read with great in-' terest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in she 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 jnsel* up to the temporary sweet allurements of vies, 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 his footprints on the sands of time? For Vn., alas 1 there is nought but dark despair , u d self reproach for a lost 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 must possess a sound, vigorous healthy mind, In a healthy brdy—the power to conceive—the energy to execute 1 But look at our Australian youth 1 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 his footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject !• Ho 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 specialty, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of theie 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 iii health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battlo o life; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health giving letter from a medical man, habituated to tk« treatment end continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instance*. *uc eoed in warding off ihe 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. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases ofyouth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional Hfe has been esptcially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Attentions and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all- -no matter how many hundreds or thousand# of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter i» now 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 branch of his pro feasion for twenty-six years in these coinnies, no single ius-aace of accidental dis covery has ever yet happened. When medicines 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 without even the physician knowing who is his parent.
