NOTE THE ADDRESSES s 80 Princes street, Dunedin ; Great North Road, Timaru ; and Thames street, Oamaru “ Lives of great men all remind ns. We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” IHE above is road w:th great interest bv thousands of young 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 yielded V.aiseF up to the temporary sweet allurements ot vice, who has .riven to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he hay* ? What aspirations’ What chance of leaving his footprints m the sands of time? For W... -i!ns ! there is nought but dark despair and self reproach for a lost tite. For a man to leave his footprints on the sands-if 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 tocnnccive—the energy to execute ! But look at. our Australian youth I 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 ot time. Do parents, medieal men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subect ? 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 specialty, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of there eases? Reader, what is your answer ? Let each one answer tor 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 o life ; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in mostmsliuicts. succeed in warding oil the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life.

Dr. L L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth ami those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has beer especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections anil the Diseases incidental to Married Life. 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 he superfluous- (by this means many thousands of patients hav 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 i.ranch of his profession for twenty-six yeais in these colonies, no single instance ot accidental dis covery has ever yet happened. When medicines are required, these are forwarded i n the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the narcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Deoiiitated 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. A ddrexa — DR. L. L. SMITH. 182 Collins Street, MELBOURNE.
