On Saturday, April 22 (states the 'Border Post,' a Victorian paper) the wife of a boun-dary-rider -in the employ of Mr Telford, Talangatta, squatted her child on a kangaroo skin placed on the centre of the floor of her hut, and then went a short distance to fetch some water. On her return she beheld the baby innocently playing with a tiger snake of about sft. in length. The mother, horrorstricken, exclaimed—" Oh, merciful God, save my child! " and fell insensible on the floor. How long she remained unconscious we have not heard, but upon the restoration of her powers of perception she saw the child sitting quietly, and ascertained that the snake had disappeared, i.

MEDIO AE.--"Is there no hope, the sick' man said; The silent doctor shook his head. •'-While there is life there's hope," he cried. " JEgroto, dnm animas est, spes est." DR. L. L. SMITH, he only legally-qualified medical man advertising, 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. "N these colonies, those excesses which we . have indulged in '' hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. viu iokidib sue useless, our repmings 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 oh 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, pur obligations to society at large, the welfare sf 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 with 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 con'

suits upon him. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions, and without 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 /, Dr. L, L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical practitioner 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 advertise, 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 Colonies. DR L. L. SMITH, 182, CoUins street east (Late the Residence of the Governor), Melbourne.
