MEDICAL. “ Is there no hope,” the sick man said; The silent doctor shook his head. " While there is life there’s hope,” he cried, “ JEgroto, dum anixnas eat, spea eat.” DR. L. L. SMITH, he only legally-qualified medical man ad vertising, consults : On all affections of the Nervous System (no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout and Rheumatism. IN these colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in “ hot youth ” tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of our future offspring, and the duty we owe to ourselves forbid procrastination, and point out to us not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions.

Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging Avith a confidential clerk, before employing a barrister, a careful man makes inquiries as to their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults upon him. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man,"the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions, and Avithout regard to the fitness, qualification, experience, and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lie in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them'that I, Dr. L L Smith, am the only legally qualified medical uraclitioner advertising in ‘the colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling, such as Phosphodyne, Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of “Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter,” and the certificates I have proved to be all forgeries, It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and ad vertise, to give those who require the ser vices of my branch an opportunity of know ing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith can be consulted by letter —Fee, LI. Medicines forwarded to all the Colonics.
