Medical. SPECIALTY ! Ix SPECIALISTS! Draw on Nature— she compels yotx -to honor the acceptance/ mHIRTY YEARS since, when Dr SMITH _l_ first commenced practice here, it was thought by medical men, that to be a Specialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, like most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found ratker to aid than to be " infra dig " to that profea sion, wherein the specialty was practised. Lallemand and Ricord, in France, and Act on, in England, were for years cried downcby 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 Dqctpr," 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, T In all cases of diseases, and habit's" which" 'produce symptoms of Nervous" AffectioifS) - of Skin Eruptions, of Prostration; and make human beings invirile, or which, unfit them to carry on the purposes of their beiri^ or which demonstrates itself, on the other .hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary.Form.B of Affections. In all of these cases 'how iiece^ sary it is to have the Specialist v wno' J has devoted his whole lifetime to. the studying and practising in this one branch of his profession 1 Hence, now, after so many yeaTs, all minutiae 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 observation make Dr L. L. Smith master' of the subject • : The medical profession — that is, the more liberal-minded of them — have likewise 1 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,>£or treating the disease requiring special, B,kil£ DrL. 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 <pught to be sufficient to cause every man or weman requiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either, personally or by letter. As a Syphilographer no bthet medical man lias been able to have such large "experience as he possesses, and for other -allied affections — such as Nervous diseases— tin one in the profession has enjoyed so much public.' confidence. j ; ';""■" : Address— DR L.
