* ' Is there no hope ? ' the sick man said ; The silent doctor shook his head. •"While there is life there's hope,' he cried." " ASgroto, dum animas est, spes est." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man . advertising), consults— On all affections of the Nervou? System (no mvtter from wh\t cause arising); on all broken-down Constitutions ; on all Diseates arising from early Indiscretions $ on Gout ; on Rheumatism. IN tbeße Colonies, those excesses which we have indulged iv " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our rrpinings fu'ile. The sole idea should be the chinees we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or comb .ting tne effects' likely to result. Hide it as he may— put on as goid an exterior as he can— still is the victim conscious that be is a living lie, and tha 1 ; sooner or la'er his vice* will discover him to the w rid. Our Faith— our obligations to society at large— the welfare of our future offspring— and the duty we owe to our«elvei — forbids procrastination, and points out to us not to wait till the ravages break out in our cons.itutions. Before negotiating with a merchnnt, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister— a careful man makes inquiries as to th-ir standing ; and, in the case of a legal advise**, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual busineat he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the se'ection of a medical man, tho 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, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is. it astonishing that bo many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money? Have I not, tor years, pointed, out to them that I, Dr. L JL. Smith, am the only legally-qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies f Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the variods nostrums they are selling— such 'as '_■■ Phbsphodyne, Essence of Life, &c. — and had them analysed, and found them to ooniist of '- Burnt sugar and flavoring matter,", and the certificates I have proved to be all forgeries. It is for thia reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who requrie the. services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover who bus made this his especial study. Dr L L. Smith is the on'y legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 2 4 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Loss of Power and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism. Dr. L. L. SMITH can beconsulted by letter — Fee £\. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. Dr. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins st. East. (Late tne Residence of the Governor), MELBOURNE. 2 1 0
