"While there is life there's hope,' he cried.'j ;.,'. " JEgroto, dum animas est, spet est." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), CONSULTS — On all affections of the Nervous System (no mttter from whit cause arising); 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 ia " hot youth " tell upon ua with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we poasesa of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effects likely tj result. Hide it as he may — put on aa good an exterior aS be can — still is the victim conscious that' he ia a living lle,and that sooner or Jaier his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith— our obligations to society at large — the welfare of our tutu re offspring— and the duty we owe to oureelve.— forbids procrasti -.nation, and points out to us not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. « Before negotiating with a merchant, before fen&j-ging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister— a careful mnn 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 these necessary precautions, and "without regard to the flincss, qu ihfioaitio'n, experience, and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the uearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies ia quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are, ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits j hope, and money? Have I not, tor yeara, pointed out to them that f, Dr. L. L. Smith, am the only legally-qualified medical mau advertising. in the Colonies? Have I not also pros.cut.d, at my own expeusc, these v ery.quacks, and exposed the various nostrums theyj ere; gelling— such as Phosphodyne,'Es'seuce 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 he all forgeries. It is lor this: reason that I step out ofthe ethics pf the profession and advertise, to give those who requrie the services of my branch an opportunity of kuowiug they can consult ia legally qualified man, and one moreover who has made this his especial study. v 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 Power and Debility Syphilitic Affections.
