"Is there no hope? ' the sick man said ; The silent doctor shook hia head. '* While there is life there's hope/ he cried." " A3groto, dum animas est, apes est." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualifled Medical man advertising), CONSULTS— On all affections of the Nervous System (no matter from what cause arising) ; on ail broken-down Constitutions ; on all Diseases arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout ; on Rheumatism. IjN these Colbnies, those, excesses which we ■ have indulged in "hot youth" tellupon us jwith fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repioings futile. The sole idea should be tbe chinees we; possess bf remedying the. ills we already have, or combating the effects likely to result. Hijle it aa. he may — put on as goods, 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 Fa?th— our obligations to society at large— the welfare of oni* future offspring— and "the duty We' owe to ourselves— forbids procrastination* and points out to us not to wait till thi ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister— a careful man makes nquiries as to their standing ; aud, in thel case of a legal adviser, both as to his lega t qualifications and as to his capabilities o transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions, and without regard to the. fitness, qmbflcatioh, experience, and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the uearest man, whose experience and prar> tice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite dire6tion. Is it. astonishing that so many are driven mad, are mined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money ? Have I hot, for years, pointed put to them tbat I, Dr. Z Z Smith, am the only legally-qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies 9 Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling— such as Phosphodyne, Essence of Life, &c. — and had them analysed, and found them to oonsist of " Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I. have proved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step but of the ethics bf 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 has made this his especial study. Dr L L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 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 beconsnlted by letter —Fee dSI. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. Dfl. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins st. Bast. (Late the Residence or the Governor), MELBQUBNB. 210
