" JEgroto, dum animas esf, spes est," DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualifled Medical man advertising), CONSULTS — On all affections of the Nervous System (no matter from what 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 in "hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The Bole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as ha 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. Onr Faith— our obligations to society at large— the welfare of our luture 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 merchnnt, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister— a careful mnn makes inquiries as to their standing ; and, in the case of a legal advieer, 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 fitness, qualification, experience, and ability for the particular ttilment requiring treatment, he consults the uear.esfc man, 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, 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 9 Have I not also prosecuted, at ray 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 thim to oonsist of '• Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have proved 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 branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified mas, and one moreover who has made this his especial study. Dr L L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and lie haa been in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Lobs of Power and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism.
