'• While there is iif« there's hope/ he cried.' ie JBgroto, dum animas eat, apes ett." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), OOHBUIiTS— On all affections of the Nervoui System (no matter from what cause arising): on all broken-down Constitutions ; on alt Diseases arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout ; on Rheumatism. IN these Colonies, those excesses which we hays indulged in " hot youth " tell upon i us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repiniogs futile. The sole idea should be the chances ' we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effects iikely to result. Hidt it as ho may— -put on as good an exterior as he can— still is the victim conscious that he is a living Ho, and that sooner or later his rices will discover him to the world. Out Faith— our obligations to society at large— the trellaro of our future offspring —and the duty vre owe tb'ourselvei-^-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; before* employing a barrister— a 'careful msn makes inquiries as to their . standing ; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and at to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the: selection of a medical msn, the sufferer frequently omits thesfl necessary precautions, and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience, nnd ability for the particular tilmenfr requiring treatment, he consults the uearest naau, whose experience and practice, 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, aud money? Have 1 not, for years, pointed out to them that I, Dr. L. L 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 nostrums they are sellin£--auch» 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 pboved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, tc give those who requrie the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover who iiae made this his especial study. Dr L, L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Loss of Power and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism. .
