" Is there no hope?' the sick man said ; The ailer.t doctor shook his head. " While thrre is life there's hope/ he cried.' " JEgrotOy dum animas est, spes 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 Dioeaaes ariaing from early Indiscretions ; on Gout ; on Rheumatism. IN these Colonies, thoae excesses which we have indulged in «- hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our reirrets are useless, our rtpinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedyinpr the ills we already have, or combating the effects likely to result Hide it as he may — put on as good an exterior as he can— still ia the victim conscious that he is a living He, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faiths our obligations to society at large— the welfare of our iuture offspring— and the duty we owe to ourselves — forbids procrasti nation, and points out to us not to wait till the ravages break out iu our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engagirg with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister— a careful mnn makes inquiries aa to their atanding ; 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, fctrange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, tbe sufferer frequently omits tht a; necessary precautions, and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience, and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the uearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing tbat 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 mam advertising in the Colonies f Have I not alao prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums tbey are selling— auch as Pboapbodyne, Essence of Life, &c. — and bad them analysed, and found thtm 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 f tep out of the ethics of the profession acd advertise, to give tbose who requrie the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover who baa made tbis his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he hae been in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Lois of Powtr and Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism. Db. L. L. SMITH can beconsulted by letter —Fee j6l. Medicines forwarded to all he colonies. Db. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins et. Hast (tate the Residence of the Governor), MBLBODBHE. 108
