Medical. \ SPECIALTY ! 1 SPECIALISTS'! Draw on Nature— she compels you to , honor the acceptance. , : mHIRTY YEARS since, when Dr Smem 1 JL first commenced- practice here, itwai thought by medical men, that to be a Specialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, like most other innovations ia. scientific and lay matters, was found ritkec to aid than to be " infra dig " to that profa* sion, wherein, the specialty was practised. Lallemand 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, an* quoted, by every man who pretends to hay» any knowledge of the particular branch of the profession which thesa gentlemen specially devoted themselves ;to. It was the earn* with Erasmus Wilson, the "Skin DocWr." recently knighted by Her Majesty. Years since, it was the same with DrL. JL Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as- did Lallemand and Ricord) as a specialist* la . all cases of diseases and habits which. pz«> duce symptoms of Nervous Afftctiapa, »f Skin Eruptions, of Prostration, and make human beings invirile, or which unfit, theai to carry on the purposes of their bsing, '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 ? Hence, now, aftev so many years, all minutife are familiar to him, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may not strike the General Practitioner at once, now from constant practice and olsservation make Dr L. L. Smith master of th« subject The medical profession — that is, th« mor« liberal-minded of them — hare likewise! recognised this fact, and Specialists now .in every- branch — oculists, aurists, eyphlllic mental diseases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has now some member of the profession who derates his time to that, and to none other. For instance, the " chest-doctor " weuld on ne account attend an acceuchment, . and th« oculist would not think of setting. a broJkaa log ; but each would advise his patient to go to that doctor whe 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 aa an expert — thirty (30) years practice in this colony, with a practice extending throughputs not only the colonies but in India, China, Fiji, and even in England, he claims ought io be sufficient to cause every man or woman. requiring such skill as is alluded to aboye, ia 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, and for other allied affection* --rrsuch —as* Nerseus,.,. diseases— mil one in ; th« jp.rofesjiqn has enjoyed so much public cea* 'fid'erie'e. .
