Medical. SPECIAITY ! SPECIALISTS 1 Draw on 3NTaI nre— she compels you to honor the acceptance. mHIRTY YEARS since, when Dr Smith JL first commenced practice here, it was thought by medical men, that to be a Specialist was derogatory to the professional mau, but this, like most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found rather to aid than to be " infra dig " to that profes sion, wherein the specialty was practised. Lallcmand and Ricord, in France, and Acton, in England, were for years cried down by their medical brethren.* Now,- and for many past years- they have been looked up to, and quoted, by every man who pretends to have any knowledge of the particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves, to. It was the same with Erasmus Wilson, the "Skin Doctor," recently knighted by Her Majesty. Years since, it was the same with Dr L. L Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Ricord) as a specialist. In all cases of diseases and habits which produce symptoms of Nervous Affections, of Skin Eruptions, of. Prostration,' and make human beings invirile, or which unfit them to carry on the purposes of their being, or which demonstrates itself, on the other hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms of Affections. In all of these cases how necessary it is to have the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetime to the studying and practising in this one branch of his profession I Hence, now, after so many years, all minutiie arc familiar to him, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may not strike the General Practitioner at once, now from conslaHt practice and observation make Dr L. L. Smith master of the subject Ihe medical "profession — that is, the mora liberal-minded . of them — have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch — oculists, aurists, syphillic mental diseases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has now some member of the profession who devotes his time to that, and to none other. For instance, the " chest-doctor " would on no account attend an accouchment, and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise his patient to go to that doctor who is most famed for treating the disease requiring special skill. Dr L. L. Smith asks those who require treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, and Sterility, whose frames and whose constitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert — thirty (30) years practice in this colony, with a practice extending throughout not only the colonies but in India, China, Fiji, and even in England, he claims ought I o be sufficient to cause every man or woman requiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Syphilographer no other medical man has been able to have such large experience as he possesses,Thnd'for other allied affections — such as Nervous diseases — no one in^the profession has enjoyed so much public confidence. !
