«tUU.I, „ I I 111..L 'I .JJ-ILJJI**, II I ' IB M "Is there no hope?' the sick man s»id ; The silent doctor shook his head. • f ' While there U life there's hope/ he cried." " jEgroto, dum animas est, spes est." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), CONSULTS— On all affeotions of the Nervous System (no mitter from whtt cause arising) ; on all broken-down Constitutions ; on all Diseases arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout ; on Rheumatism. IN these Colonies, those . excesses which we have indulged ia " hot youth " tell upon us witb fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings fu'ile. The sole idea should be the dunces we possess of remedying the ills wa alreidy have, or comb iting the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may — put on as goid an exterior as he can — still is the. victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith — our obligations to society at large— the welfare of . our future offspring— and the duty we owe to oureelvej — forbids procrastination, and points out to us not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister— a careful nmn makes inquiries as to thtir standing ; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selectiqn of a medical man, the sufferer fi equently omits thess necessary precautions, and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience, and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the uearest man, whore experience and practice, perhaps, lies ia quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, 1 and are bankrupt in spirits, hops, and money? . Have I not, for years, pointed out to them that I, Dr. L L. Smith, dm the only legallyyqualifkd medical man advertising iti the Colonies t Have I not also prosecuted, at my own. expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling— such ias Phosphodyne^ Essence of Life, &c. — and had tbem analysed, and found thtm to oonsist of " Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," and the rertiflcates I have proved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, tb give those who requrie the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover who has made this his especial study. . Dr L L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and be has been in Melbourne 21 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Loss of Powtr and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism. .
