"\ While there is life there's hope,' he cried.', ' " JEgroto, dum animas est, spes est." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), I CONSULTS— On all affections of the Nervous System (no : matter from what cause arising) ; on all j broken-down Constitutions ; on all Disease, arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout ; j on Rheumatism. IN these Colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful intereat. , Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, .or combating the effects likely t. result. Hide it as he may — put on as good an exterior as he can — still is th . vi'-tim conscious that he i. 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 future offspring— and tbe duty we owe to ourselves — forbids procrasti nation, and points out to us not to wait till 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 ; 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. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits thes. necessary precautions, and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience, and ability for the particu lar ailment requiring treatment, he consults the uearest man, whose experience and praotice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven 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. __. JL. Smitk, am the only legally-qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums tbey 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 fbr this 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 has made this his especial study. Dr L L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical map advertising, and he has b.en in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Lobs of Power and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism. Dk. L. L. SMITH can beconsulted by letter —Fee £ l. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. Dr. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins st. East. (Late the Residence of the Governor), MELBOURNE. 2!q
