JAPANESE BASKETS At R LUCAS & SON'S. Is there no hope ? ' the sick man said ; The silent doctor shook his head. " While there is life there's hope/ he cried.' v J2grqto' t dum animas est,spes est.'* DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical mm advertising), CONSULTS— On all affections of the Nervous System (no matter from what cause . arisiog),; on all broken^own 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 ns with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our . repinings futile. The sole idea shonld be the chances we possess of remedying the ill-?, we already have, or combating ttie effects likely to result; Hide it as he may— put on as good an exterior as he can— still is the' victim conscious v 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-r---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 ont 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. thtir 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 aay, however, iv the selection of a medical man, the sufferer fte- "" quently omiis these necessary precautions, and without regard to the fitness, qualification, exf irience, and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consulta the uearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direc* tion. 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 tbem that I, Dr. L. L. Smith;; am the only legally-qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies f Have Fnot also prosecuted, at my own expense,thesa very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are -selling— such as Phosphodyne, Essence of Life, &c— and had them malysed, and found them to consist of '* Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pkoved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the proieeaio*a and advertise, to give those who r equrie the services o£ my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult, a legally qualified man, and one moreover who has made thia 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 Powtr and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition! Gont and Rheumatism. Dr. L. L. SMITH can becohsulted by letter —Fee £l. Medicines forwarded to all he colonies. - Db. L. L. SMITH, 182 CqUias st. East*.
