THE GREATEST WONDER OF MODEM TIMES! Sir SAMUEL DAKER, in his wore entitled " The Nile Tributaries in Abvssinia," says, I ordered the dragoman Mahomet to inform th«. „ ta *?y. t,,at V ras a Doctor, and that I had the best t medicines at the service of the sick, with advice gratis. 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 unmistakable purgative properties they create an undeniable effect upon the patient, which satisfies him of their value.'* SIMPLE, SAEE, AID CERTAIHJ '-y?^^! l^?^ Is ac- , remedy for bad legs, bad brea' ulcerations of all kinds.

COOPER, in his account of his extraordinary n-»»«.L :- n.:. published in i3 7 r, says—" I had wit of Holloway's Ointment.

L. L. SMITH ' (the only Legally-qualified medical man advertising CONSULTS On all Affections of the Nervous Syßtem (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 effecte 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 Booner or later his vices wili discover him to the world. Our faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of 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 thesir 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 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. It is astonishing that so many are driven mad, ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money ! Have I not for years pointed out to them that—" I. Dr. L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified man advertising in the colo nies V 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 ethics of 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 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. i ,?* \ L# j&nMji ««» be consulted by letter—Fee, £l.
