Lallemand and Ricord, in Franoe, and Actw, in England, were for years cried iowm % their medical brethren. Now ami. f»r a*Q»y p ., past years they hare been looked up t«, Kiljj ' quoted, by every man who pretends t« have^ ■ any knowledge of the particular bramch •€, . the profession which these gentleraem specially devoted themselves to. It was the »h« with Erasmus Wilson, 'th* « Skin Dtcte." recently knighted by Her Majesty. Years since, it was the same witk Dr L. L Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as Aid Lallemand and Ricord) as a speoialifit, Ih * all cases of diseases and habits which pi*L : duce symptoms of Nervous Affections, «f Skin Eruptions, of Prostration, and aiak* human beings invirile, or which unfit tkwm. to carry on the purposes of their being;, or which demonstrates itself, on th« other haadf ' in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms •£ Affections. In all of these cases how necessary it is to have the Specialist who has d«r voted his whole lifetime to the studying ami practising in this one branch of his profession 1 Hence, now, after so many years, 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 olmm&> vation make Dr L. L. Smith master of tks subject The medical profession — that is, the m«re , liberal-minded of them — hare likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now tn every branch — oculists, aurists, syphillio mental diseases, chest diseases, and mf»«t , every portion of the human franw, has n«w some member of the profession who d«T«t«'^ his time to that, and to none other. F«.| instance, the " chest-docUr " w«uld om. J a». account attend an accouchment, and tte ;1 oculist would not think of setting a brolafii^ leg ; but eaclrwould advise his patient to-§«f< to that doctor who is most famed for treat- " ing the disease' requiring special skill. i DrL.
