THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young, men. It inspires them with Hopf, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas! say many, tbis is correct — is true with regard to tbe youth who has never abused his strength — and to the man who has not been * " passion's slave." But to that youth— to that man who his wasted hie vigor, who has .yielded himself; up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to bim the above lines are but as a reproach, What hope can he have ? What aspirations? What chance ot leaving t his footprints on the sands of time ? For him, alas, there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footprints on the , eands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain snd nervous potrer. He must possess a strong, vigorous, healtby mind in a healthy hody— the power to conceive — the energy to execute I But look' at our Australan youth I See the emaciated iform, the vacant look, the listleßS, hesitating manner, the nervous distru&t, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. , Note bis demeanor a»d conversation/and then v siy » Is that a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time. Doi parents, medical men, and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to thiß subject ? Do they ever .ascertain the cause of this decay ? and having done bo, do." they (ks a strict aensiTof duty' demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, wh » has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life has beeti devoted to the treatment of these cases ? Reader, -what' is your answe r ? Let each one answer for himself.

Dr. L. L. SMITH, ot Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom bis peculiar study. His whole.profes - r -ft4tfa)Qtfe'Wb'tth especially* devoted to the treatment of Nervous affectione and tbe Diseases incidental to Married Life. „ His sfcill is available to all— no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His ' Bystem of correspondence by letter is now s^ well organised and known, that comment would be superflous— (by- this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known); and it is catried on with such judicious supervision tbat though be has been practising tbis branch of his profe'seion for twenty-six years In these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery hBS ever yet happeuei. When medicines are .required, these are forwarded ' in-the tame^C'lTfcful manner, without a possibility oi t» c contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany theae latter, end a cure ia effected without even the physician knowing who is hi" pxtieut.
