" Up ! Up, my friend, and clear your looks, Why all this toil and trouble ?." ALL those who are suffering from despondency, melancholia^ loss of spirits, and pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, and who are gradually getting' weaker and weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with. In all Buch cases. Mr L. L. SMITH feels it incumbent on himself to inform such unfortunate .patients, that he has devoted his lifetime to.the study, of these complaints, having" been a pupil and assistant of the late Dr Culverwell, of London, whe made these diseases his^special practice. In all tHose diseases relating and pertaining; to Married Life, and'^vhibfcmakje marriage. at curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L. SMITH can be consulted with the greatest certainty of success, and with the additional feeling that no chance can possibly occur of their secret ever being divulged. In cases of extreme Nervous Debility, where the patient feels that he ib exhausted and physically prostrated, and incapable of exertion without great fatigue, then and there the person so situated should at once consult Mr L. L. Smith before disease of a more serious character sets in ; the above arises frequently from the enervating influence of-hat vclimates,^hut ■v^requently|froms other cause's of a^nore Beriou^Hature.'^-^^ -^ Palpitations of the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed, i 3 another phase of disease which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause ; those who suffer from the above have ; NOT— " Mix'd reason with pleasure, And wisdom with mirth." But have, on the contrary, been guilty of a secret vice, which has, as it were, eaten into their very vitals. Many "old young men" consult me, who, though young in years, have, through the vice above alluded to, and from their having been quacked by the unqualified and unskilful medical man, at last given up all hope and succumbed, and are aged in their very youth, unfitted i to? fulfil the duties which they were sent on this earth to perform. "Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, | Procrastination is the thief of time." Mr L. L; SMITH wishes to impress on those who are laboring under diseases which cannot be treated by the general medical attendant, from insufficient knowledge and practice, that as an expert in these diseases, he has the right to warn the public at large ; against the number of blatant charlatons and quacks who not only extort the money out of the pockets of the patients, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present themselves to him fronxalLth^diffecentcpk^ nies, \vho { are thoroughly* bankrupt -ntffealCh and pocket, and they then lament,, when too late, the horrible deception which has been practised on them. JNot only do men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified, men, but they advertise for sale, and swindle the public, by selling bottles of muck, tinder the name .of " Dr Ricord's Essence of Life," " Balm of Syriacupfj'f Land ii: mass of "othe* ! quackeries, whose sole province is to extract money out of the pockets of their, deluded victims. W' } ' {! '"-' ■>■'"' •. I*-1 *-" r ; ■•-" Will the public never understand that the only guarantee tfidjf can'.ha^e that they will; be honestly and skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to whom they apply, for advice is a legally-qualified medical mahiwho has devoted his time to the branch of practice for which the patient is seeking aid ? Secondly, that his long residence in the place, and his pQsitJon,,is,.afc least a. guarantee of t gthe estimation in whichUfe isOieM? byThis *ellow-citizens. • Dr. L. L SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, £1. By the above means any male or female ! patient can, by describing their^ symptoms, . avoid the, in many cases, unpleasantness of a personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito. Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to all parts of the colonies, with plain letters of instruction as to diet, &c . -, Mr L. daily, mornings iJeittre 11, and^veninjgs between 7 and 9. 192 Bourki street east, Mcl« bourne.
