" Up ! Up, my friend, andx clear your looks '■ Why aU this.toil and trouble ?^ i !; ALL those who ,-are suffering ;t from de-» ; spondency, melancholia, loss ofispirits, and; iplucki .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 such 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 arid assist-' ant of thelate Dr Culverwell, of London, who made these diseases his special practice: '. „ In all those diseases relating and pertaining to Married Life,; and which make marriage <&■ curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. LjSMITH. can becons'ulted with the greatest certainty, of; success, ; and with the additional, feeling that t no "chance 'can possibly, occur bftheh\ secret ever'beiiig divulged. V \ } : In cas^-of ' extreme/Neryous Debility,' where the patient feelsthat'he is 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 of a" more serious' character sets, in ; the above' arises frequently from the -enervating influence of" hot climates, but frequently from other causes 01 a more serious nature. . PalpitatibnH or the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alanried, is another , phase, of which requires particular, attention, as arising from a most important' cause j those wno suffer from the at : ifoi— '. ■';.■' ' .''

' Many "old young men' ' consult me, wnq, though young .in. years, • have; througlijne vice above alluded' to,' and from their having been quacked" by the unqualified ana unskilful medical man, at last given up, all nope' arid succumbed, and are aged in . their very youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties wnlch they were sent on this earth to penorm. ........ "Be wise to-day, , : 'tis madness to defer, Procrastination is the. thief of time." ' : ■';'■ Mr L.' Lt SMITft wishes ,t,p impress on those who are laboring, under diseases which cannot be treated by the general medical attendant, traa insufficient knowledge and practice, that xs an expert in these diseases, he has. the right' to warn the public at large against the numoer of blatant charlatons and quacks who noc only extort the money out of the; ppcketM of the patients, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate ' sufferers. , Many, hundreds -yearly themselves to mm from all the different colonies, who are Thoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, ana .they then lament, when 'too late, the horrible., deception which has been practised on tnem. JNot only uo men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they auvertise for sale, and swindle the public, by, selling bottles of muck, under the name of ' '• pr.lßicord's Essence of Life," '•BalmVpf Jsynacum," and, a mass of other quackeries, wiiose sole province is to extract money out 01 tne" pockets of their deluded victims. : • Will the puDlic never understand'that the only guarantee tney can have' that they will be honestly ana Bkilfully treated, is thefact that; the periion 1 to whom they Jap'pljJtor advice is alegaily-qualified medical matfwho has devoted' xiw. time' to' 4;he!branch of pracV tice for whica tbe patient is seeking aid! Secondly, that ms long residence in the place,; and his position, is at least a guarantee of the i 'estimation 'in which he is held'hy 1 his fellow-citizen Dr. L. L. SMITS can be consulted by letter; fee, £L By the abovn 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 incoenito, r ■-.'■; l y '■■■•■■ ' y.\y> tU \'^ Medicines aypropriately 1 packed to'ivbid observation a"re r sent~-to-afl ; -parts-of the-colo-nies," with' pi»m letters of instruction 'asto diet, &a I •?■ Mr : L< -h: -M^ITH consults personally daily, mornings before 11, and evenings between 7 and 9. ;/ l-92 Bourke street east, Melhourne, ' .
