“ Lives of great men ail remind ns, Wo can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” HE above is read with 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 '•imsel' up to the temporary sweet allurements o) vice, who has given mibridledjlicense to his passions, to him >he above lines are bnt as a reproach. fWnat Hope can he have? What aspirations ? What chance of leaving hi* footprints on the sands of time? Foi b!v.,abis I there is nought but dark despai; and soli reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footpnnta on the sands of time, ho must be endowed with a strung brain and nervous power. He must possess n sound, vigorous healthy mind, it a healthy body—the power to conceive—the energy to execute 1 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 of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subcct ? Do they over 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 soecialty, xvhoso life has been devoted co the treatment of these oases? Reader, what is your answer? Lot 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 o life ; yet one word might save thorn, one sound and vigorous health giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment aud continuous supervision of such eases, would, in mostinstanoes, succeed in warding off ihe impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system toils natural vigor, aud ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr. L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases ofyouth and those arising therefrom Ids peculiar study. His whole professional life has beer especially devoted to the treatment of Nervoua Affections and the Diseases incidental toMarried Life. His skill is available to all--no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. ills system of correspondence by letteris now so well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous- (by this means many thousands of patients hav boon cured, whom he has never seen and never known); aud it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental dis covery lias ever yot 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 aud 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 I 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 — DE. L. L.
