Medical. SPECIALTY! „ . . VI SPECIALISTS! Draw on Nature— sne compels you to honor the acceptance. THIRTY YEARS since, when Dr SMITH 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 rather to aid than to be " infra dig " to that profas sion, wherein the specialty was practised. Lallemand and Ricord, in France, and Acton, in England, were for years cried down bfr - 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. . :r) 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 . 7 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 profes- ; ... sion? Hence, now, after so many years, all minutiae are familiar td him, and symptoms ' which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may not strike "the General' Practitioner at : once, now from constant practice and obser- • vation make Dr L. L. Smith master of the subject The medical profession— that is, the more liberal-minded of them — have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now. in, _ . every branch — oculists, aurists, syphillic W mental diseases,, chest diseases, and infaet < every portion of the human frame, has now some member of the profession who devotes his time to that, and to none other. Foiy ;1 :> instance, the "chest-doctor" would on no account attend, an accouchment,; and the , oculist would not think, of setting a broken leg ; but eacluwould advise, his patient to go to that doctor who is most famed for treat? , ing the disease requiring special skill. . _■'_.' Dr L. L. Smith asks -those who require treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barren-,^ ness, and Sterility, whose frames • and whose r ' constitutions are shattered, to consult him as . ;an iexper t — 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 iclaims ought to be sufficient to cause every man or woman requiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either; personally, or by t lptter. _( . . _^_ „ A s a Sypfhilbgrapher rtd'other 1 Me^dioalinan 'f 1. has; been able toyhave such large experience as te possesses, and for other allied. aff ectjonj? • —siach as Nervous diseases — nn one in tht profession has enjoyed so. much public con fidence. , . ."._,., .
