BOOKS BOUND in any style by R. LUCAS & SON. THE FOOT r THE HAND, QINCE the introduction of Hand • . Sswnm Machines, attempts have constantly been made to prove that they are fit to supersede the original Treadle Machines, but intending purchasers are requested to examine the matter and decide for themselves whether their claima are. well founded, and whether also .the objections, raised (frequently by interested parties) to the nse ol the Treadle , can be sustained by facts. Tbe advertiser submits that each kind of machine is good in ita proper place,— the ■**.*■ Hand " for those young ladies who may have occasion frequently to change their place, of. abode, or for those who are unable to give the small amount of time and trouble neoessary to learn thoroughly ..the art (once acquired, of life long value), of using a '• Treadle " Machine, and also for the very few who are. physically unable to use the foot motion. But when the lady of the house desires to do a large quantity of sewing in the best manner, and in the least possible time, A good Treadle Machine is unequalled. That the use of the feet in sewing is injurious to health is a matter upon which tbe "Doctors differ," and any lady ansious upon that point would do well to consult her own medical adviser, who, in giving his opinion, would perhaps make some, alight distinction between the probable effects ot using a Machine which requires much power to drive it, and one which runs lightly, as does the " Whbblbb and Wilson. The undersigned invites inspection of his stock of Maobines suitable for all ordinary work, and will be happy, to procure to order from best makers Machines required for special purposes. A new lot of HAND MACHINES to arrive per ' Lutterworth,' direct from the makers, comprising both " Taylor's Improved," and " Tatlor's Friction Wheel." HAND MACHINES sold for Cash, and TJREADLE MACHINES either for Cash or for " time payment," and Prices are now Reduced ! W. C. WILKINS, IRONMONGER, bridge-street, nelson. August, 1876. 2860 "Is there no hope?' the sick. man said ; The silent doctor shook bis head. . • ' While there is life there's hope,* 1 he cried." " jEgroto, dum animas est, epes eat." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), CONSULTS— j On all affections of the Nervous. System (no matter from what cause arising) ; on aU broken-down Constitutions ; on all Diseases arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout;; on Rheumatism. i IN theae Colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are .useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we alre*dv* have, or combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may — put on as good an exterior as he can— still is rthe victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our , Faith— onr obligations to society, at large— the welfare of our iuture offspring— and the duty we owe to ourselves— 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 man makes inquiries as to their standing ;. and, in tbe case of a legal adviser, both as to his legsl qualifications and as to his capabilites of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, tb.3 sufferer frequently* omits thesa necessary precautions, and without regard to the flineas, 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 so many are driven i mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope, and money? Have I not, for years, pointed out to them that I, Dr. L. L. 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 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 pkoved to be all forgeries'. It is for this reason that I step out ofthe 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. 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 Nervdus Diseases Loss of Power and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout ahd Rheumatism. D*. L. L. SMITH can beconsulted by letter —Fee £I. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. Db. L. L. SMITH, 18. Collins st. Bast. |(Late the^Reaidence of the Governor), KBLBOUBKB. 210
