THE GREATEST WONDER OF MODEM TIMES! Sir SAMUEL RAKER, in his wore entitled " The Nile Tributaries in Ahy ' ' "" !?';••," l " ri,ercd tne dragoman Mahomet to infc (( 1-akuy that I was a Doctor, and that t had the b ( me<licines at the service of the sick, with advice gra: ' In a short time I had many applicants, to whom I served out a quantity of Holloway's Pills. These are ' most useful to an explorer, as possessing unmis'takablo mirgative properties they create an undeniable -""-- * on the patient, which satisfies him of their v: SIMPLE, SAEE, AND CERTAIN OINTMENT Ulcerations ot all kinds. It acts miraculously in heal in"ulcerations, curing skin diseases, aud ill arresting and subduing all intlammations. Mr. J. T. COOPER, in his account of his extraordinary travels in Chin? published in iS7i, says—" J had. with me a quantit of Holloway's Ointment. I gave some to the peopl *' and nothing: could exceed their gratitiide; and, in coi "sequence, milk, fowls, butter, and horse-feed pour< * u in upon us, until at last a tea-ipooniul of Ointmci 'was worth a (owl and any quantity ol peas, and tl « demand became so great that I was obliged to lock u the sm.ul iciiiaining stock " "" Sold bv all Chemists apd Medicine Vendors throuebi Out the World. **" -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, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we all ready 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 tie duty_ we owe to ourselves forbid pro* crastination, and point out to us not to ; wait till the ravages break out in our con-; stitutions. 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 consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of & medical man, the sufferer frequently emits 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. It is astonishing that so many are driven mad, ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money I Have I not for years pointed out to them that "I. TU. T T d—iJ.l. il i .?' qualified man advertising in the cola nies ?" 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 analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavouring matter," and the certificates I have proved to be all forgeries ? It is for this reason that I step out of the ethioa of profession, and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportutnity 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 legallyqualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne twenty-four year in full practice on Nervous Diseases Loss of Power and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism., Dr L. L. Smith can be consulted by letter—Fee, £l. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. \ Dr. L. L. SMITH,"IB2 Collins street east, (Late the Residence of the Governor)
