" Lives of great men all remind us, Wfl can make our lives sublime ; And departing, leave bthini us Footprints on the sands of time."' THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hopy, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas 1 cay many, this is correct — is true with regard to tie youth who has never abused his strength — and to the nmn who has not been •• passion's slave." But to that youth— to that man who has wasted his vigor, who has jielded himself up ta the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions to him the above lines are but f.s a rfpronch. What hope can lie have ? What aspirations? What chance ot leaving his footptints on the sann's of time ? For him, alps, there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach Jor a l<st life For a man to leave his footprints on the eands of time, he must be endowed with a etrong brain und nervous powir. He must possess a strong, vigorous, healthy mind in a healthy body — the power to conceive — the energy to execute ! But look at our Australian yonth ! See the emaciated form, the vacßiit look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the fenselets, almost idiotic expression. Note bis demeanor a*d conversation, and then siy. Is that a aian to leave his footprints on the sanda of time. Do parents, medical men, and educators of jouth pay sufficient attention co this subject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ? aud having done so, do they (as a strict jen^e of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, wh ■ has made this branch of his protetsion his particular Rpecifilitr, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of thesacasis? Reader, what is your ans\v\ r ? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their tight, see them become emaciated, old young rten, broken down in health, enfeebled, ur.fitte S for the battle of life ; *yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-pivintc letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision ot such cases, w uM in most instances succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the euervated sj stem to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr. L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom bis peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous affections and tbe » Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill 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 ha^e been cureJ, whom ue tas never Feen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he ha 3 been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in thtse colonie?, no single instance of accidental discovery has evtr yet happened. When Mtdieines sre rtquired, tuese *re forwarded in the same cartful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompatiy these latter, and a cure is c. fleeted without even tbe physician knowing who is hii patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the lebilitated, and all tuffering from any disease whatever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, es it dots, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Address — DR. L. L. SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
