" Lives of great men all remind uf, We can make our lives sublime ; A nd departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.'' THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Bofb, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas ! i S y many, this is correct — Is true with regard to the you.ll w^° ** 8S nevep abused his _ttSßgth— and to tnC mtm who ha » not been " paflsion's siaftv ' But to that youth— to t_rai toafi who ba_ wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself ttp .a the tempbrary sweet allurements of Vice, who has given unbridled license to bis passions, to him the above lines are hut aaa reproach. What hope can he have ? What aspirations ? What chance ot leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For him, ala£, there is pought but dark despair and eelf-reproach foi- a kk life For a man to leave his fo. .prints oA .the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain end nervous power. He must possess a strong, vigorous, healthy mind in a healthy body — the power to conceive — the energy to execute ! But look at our Australlan youth j See the emaciated form, the vacant look, tbe listless hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, th. senseless, almost idiotic expmsion. . Note bis demeanor awd conversation, ind then a.y. Is ih&t a _jftn to leave his footprints on the sands of tiine. Do parents, medical men, and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject ? Do they ever ascartain the cause of this decay ? and having done 80, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek t_ e skilled advice of the medical man, wh > has made this bran. h of. his profes _ion his particular speciality, whesa life haa-beSn dij voted to the treatment ot these casss ? Reader, waat is your answer ? Let each o.e answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated, old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ) 'yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man,' habituated to the treatment and continuoa. supervision of such esses, w hid in most instances succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore tbe enervated sj stem to its natural vigor, ahd ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr. L. L. SMITH, ol Melbourne, has made the disea.es of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment, of Nervous affections" and tbe Diseases incidental to Married Life. His s_ ill is available to all— no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment ' would be superfluous -(by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he bas never reen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision tbat though he bas been practising thia branch of his profession for twenty-six years in these colonic?, no single instance of accidental diicovery has ever yet happened When Medicines are required, these «re forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who iB his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any disease whatever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Address— DR. L. L. SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
