',' I)R. L. L. SMITH (Tha-only legally-qualifled Medical man , adyertisidg), 'OONantTs— On all affections ot> the Nervous System (no matter from what cause arising) ; on all brokerr-down Constitutions ; on alt Disease* arising; from early Indiacretions ; oa Gout ; on Rheumatism. IN these Coloniea, those esceages which we have indulged in ''hot youth" tell upon vi with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repining! futils. Tbe sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills wa already have, or combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may— put on as good an exterior as he can— still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Oar Faith— our obligations, to society at large— the welfare of our future offspring— and the duty we owe to .ourselves— 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 engaging with a confidential clerk; befprq employing a barrister— a careful / man makes inquiries as to their standing ; and, : in the caseof a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilitiea of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical; man, ■ the eufferer frequently omita these necessary precautions, and without regard to the fitness; qualified tion, experience, and ability for the particular ailment - requiring treatment;, he consults the uearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite au 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. L. Is, Smith, am the only legally-qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies t Have I not also prosecuted, at; my [own expense, these very quacks,' and exposed the various 1 nostrums they are., selling— such .aa Bhoaphodyne, Essenceyof Life, &c— and ihad them analysed, and. found , them tooonsistof ''Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," and : the certificates I have pboved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who requrie the services of my braiaeh an opportunity of knowing they qan consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover who lisa made this his especial study. . .-; Dr L.
