Draw on Nature— ske compels ybti >s» honor the acceptance. •'. mHIRTY YEARS. since, when Dr SMITH JL first commenced practice here, it was thought by medical men, that to be a Spe- , cialist was derogatory to the professional p man, but this', like most other innovations in. , scientific and lay matters, was found rathlr , to aid than to be ", infra dig "to that prc&s sion, wherein the specialty was practised. Lallcmand and Ricord, in France, and Acton, m England, were for years cried down W , their medical brethren. Now and for maay ; pa shears they have been looked [up to^'iutg quoted, by every man, who pretends to hare any knowledge of the particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen spacially 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\, if Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as Aid : Lallemand and Ricord) as a specialist. In all cases of diseases and habits which ■. prW duce symptoms of Nervous Affections, «f Skin Eruptions, of. Prostration,- and make human beings invirile, or which unfit..tß«m i to carry on the purposes of their being, or J wlrich demonstrates itself, on the other hani, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Fonnß of ; Affections. In all of these cases how- necessary it is to have ;the Specialist who has de* voted his whole lifetime' to the studying and practising in this one branch of his profession ? Hence, now, after so many years, 'fell minutias 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 recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch' — oculists, aurists, ayphillic mental diseases, chest diseases, and in f a«t every portion of the human frame, has nowsome member of the profession who devotes his time to that, and to none other. .For instance, the " chest-docter " would on(|u> account attend , an accouchment, and the oculist would not think of setting a Drok«a leg ;. but each would advise his pati,eirt;to go to that doctor who "is most famed" fb'rtfeating the disease requiring special 'skill.- -" ~--' L ; Dr L. L. Smith asks those who reqturfc treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barren^ ness, and Sterility, whose frame 3 and .whose I constitutions are shattered j" to 'consult' Him as' I an' experts-thirty (&0) years practice in -thia ; colony, with a practice extending throughput i not only the, colonies rbut in , India," China, Fiji, and even in' Wngland/ he claims ' ou^ht to be sufficient to cause^very man or woman requiring, such- skill as is j alluded ,tQ^ppye, to ! consult him either personally or by letter. As a Syphiiographer no btner m'edibalmaa has been ableitb have such' large experience ! as he possesses, and for other allied affections j — such 'as 1 diseases'— nn ; on 6in the j profession has enjoyed so much public con .. fidence.
