JAMES' WAREHOUSE BBIDGE-STBBET. LJr— i — THE SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMNAL A (compiled by the liiv. R. J. Thobi'e), New an i Enlarged Edition, Just Punished, and now on SALE at R. LUCAS & SON'S. "Is there no hope?' the sick man said ; The siieut doctor shook his head. ♦ c While there is life there's hope/ he cried." " JEijTotO) dum animas est, spes est." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), CONSULTS — On all affections ot the Nervoua System (no mutter from whit cause Brisina:) ; 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 iv " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our rtpinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating ttie effects likely to result. Hide it as he may — put on as good an exterior as he can — siill is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or iaier his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith — our obligations to society at large— the welfare of our tuture offapting— and the duty we owe to ourselves — forbids procrastination, and points out to us not to wait till the ravages break ouo in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a coufideutial clerk; before employing a barrister—a careful m«u makes inquiries as to thiir 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, fc'trange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omi'.3 thts j necessary precautions, and without regard to the fkness, quilifuation, experience, and ability for the parucu lur hilment 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 mad, are ruined iv health, aud are bankrupt in spirits, hope, aud money? Have I not, lor years, pointct out to them that I, Dr. L. L, Smitk, am ihe only leyally-quatijied medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Have I not also pros.!cut.'d, at ray own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they nre selling— such as Phosphodyne, Essence of Life, &c— und had them analysed, and found thtm to oonsist of '• Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," aud the certificates I have ritovED to be all forgeries It is lor this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession aud advertise, to give those who requrie the 6ervices of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a Ugaliy qualified man, and one moreover who Übb made this his especial study. Dr L L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has b>.en in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Loss of Powtr and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism . Dr. L. L. SMITH can becomultel by letter —Fee £I. Medicines forwarded to all ihe colonies. Da. L. L. SMiIII i s > r ol! ; ->!» ft. Bssfe. (Late the Residence o tho uovenio-), MELBOUBNiS. 210
