THE GREATEST V QUEER OP MODEM TIMES! Prrsons suffering from weak or debilitated constitution* H-ill discover that by the use of this wonderful medicim there is " Health for all." Tha blood is the fountain of hfe, aod jts purity can be maintained by the use of theta Sir SAMUEL BAKER, in his wont entitled “ The Nile Tributaries in Abvtsinuj,* says, “ I ordered the dragoman Mahomet to inform th« fakey that I was a Doctor, and that I had the best | medicines at the service of the sick, wkh advice gratis. “ In a short time I had many applicants, to whom ( served out a quantity of Holloway's Pills. Theae are * most useful to an explorer, as possessing unmistakable purgative properties they create an undeniable eff«c| upon the patient, which satisfies him Pf their- valll*.* SIMPLE, SAFE, AM CERTAHJ f Is a certain remedy for bad legs, bad breasts, and ulcerations of all kinds. It acts miraculously in b»->Wn g ulceratiu.is, curing skin diseases, and in arresting and subduing all inflammations, Mr. J. T. COOPER, in his account of his extraordinary travels in ni<"i published in 1^71,. says— '* I had with me a quantity of Holloway's Ointment. I gave some to the peoples H an d nothing could exceed their gratitude; and, in con- ' sequence, milk, fowls, butter, and horse-feed poured “ up»n us, until at last a tea-spoonful of Ointment •'was worth a towl and any quantity of peas, and tl.« 'demand became so great that I was obliged to look vm tqc small leniainiag stock." " Sold by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors through. 9«Uh« World, DBu L. It. 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 indie* cretions; 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 J useless, our repininga futile. The sole fdea should be the we possess of remedying the ilia we all ready have, or combating the effect* likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still i* the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices wilj 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 ns 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 their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to hia 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 pad, ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money 1 Have I not for years pointed out to them that —“ I, Hr. L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified man advertising in the colo 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 11 Burnt Sugar and flavouring matter,” and the certificates I have proved to be all forgeries 1 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. Dr L. L. Smith can be consulted by letter—Pee, £l. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. 9811 Dr. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins street east (Late the Residence of the Governor)
