•fls there no hope?' the sick man said ; | The silent doctor shook his head. *f While there is life there's hope,' he cried." j " Mgroto, dum. animas est, tpes ett." ■ i DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), consults— On all . affections of the Nervous System (no m -tter from what cause arising) ; on all . broken-down Constitutions ; on all Diseases arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout ; on Rheumatism. IN theae Colonies, those exces.es which we have indulged iv "hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chinees we possess of remedying the ills we already bave, or combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may — put on as good an exterior as he can — still ia 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 iuture offspring— and tbe j duty we owe to ourselves — forbids procraatiI nation, and points out to ua not to wait till l the ravages break ouc 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 ; aud, 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 . selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits thes; necessary precautions, and without regard to the fitness, qn ilifi.ation, 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 msd, are ruioed 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 . Have I not also pros.cut.d, 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 favoring matter," and the certificates I have psoved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of tbe 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.

Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has b?en in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Di.ea.es Loss of Powtr aud Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and RheumatismDr. L.
