"13 there no hope 1 the aick man said ; The silent doctor shook his hbad." " While there is life there's hope, he cried." " iEgroto, dum anima est, spes est." DR. L. L. SMITH, (The 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. On Rheumatism. IN these colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, ourrepinings 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 ma}', put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world.

Smith, an the only legally qualified man 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, •fee—and had them analysed and founo tliem to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavouring' matter," and the certificates I have proved to be all forgories. It is for this reason th u t I s«ep out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study. Dr. L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne twenty-foui years in full practice on
