" Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." iHE above is road with interest by _ thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth thero is no such word as fail. Alas! say many, this is correct, —is true with regard to the youtb. who has never abused his strength—and to the man who has not been " passion's slave." But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions to him the above lines are but as a reproach! What Ho.pr can he have? What aspirations? What chance of leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and selfreproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power, he must possess a pound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a "healthy body—the power to energy to execute! but look at your Australian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervoua distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say, is that a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to thin subject? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay; and having done so do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality whose life has been devoted to the treat* ment of these cases? Reader, what is himself. see their progeny" fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous healthy-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases would in most instances, succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to tin? treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life; His skill is available to all—no matter how many hundreds of miles distant. His system, of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous—(by this means: many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known); and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened- When medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and the cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and 'Women with Broken" down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any disease whatever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Address— DR. L.
