"Is there no hope? ' the sick matt said ; The silent doctor shook his head, "•' While there J i« life there'a.hope,^ he cried." "JBgrotq, dum animus ett, spes. est." DR. L; L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), ? - : OONSULTS— " On all affections of the Nervous System (no nutter from; what cause arlsiotr) ; on all v broken-down Cohatitutlons; on all Diiea^es arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout.; ; on Kheumatism. IN these Colonies, those excesses which Ye. have iadulged ia "hot youth " tell upon us with fearful 'interest. " Our regrets; ;are useless, our repioings futile.' The.sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may— put on as good an exterior as he can—still is the victim conscious that'he is a living lie, and that sooperor lafer. his vices will discover him to the .world. Our Faith— our obligations -to 'society at large— ' the welfare of our iuture offspring— and the. duty we: owe to ouraelve j— fof bids , procrastination, and points out to iis not- to wait till the ravages breakjout in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before eogagiDg with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister— a careful man makes inquiries as ' to tHeir standing; and, in the case, of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities ot transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits thess necessary,.. precautions, ' and without regard to the fitness, quilifloa--tion, experience, and ability, fo? the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the uearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies. in quite opposite direction. ! ' ' ; ■ ,jla it astonishing that so many -are driven mad; are ruiaed in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope; and money? Have I not, lor years, pointed put to them; that" I, ;l?r. L L, Smith, am the. only legally-qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies? Have I not also prosecuted; ; at my own^ expense, these ' very quacks, and ckposed the various nostrums .. they are selling— Buch as —^Fhdsphodyfie,.. Essence of Life, &c— and HM-them analysed,, and found thtm . to consist' of " Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I : have 7SOVED to be all forgeries. It is for this ' reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who requrie the services of toy branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover who uas made this/ s his especial study. . r ' Dt L L.
