LA MEET'S Work oa " The Physiology of Marriage " describes how the powert of manhood are lost or suspended, how they can be re-invigorated and maintained until Mi advanced period of life, and ia intended to enlighten thousands on moat important subjects, in regard to which they &rt •ntirely ignorant. It also contains many -valuable hints and instructions (derived, - from a long and successful practice) for th« treatment of the various disorders arising from hot olimates, sedentary habits, or the follies and indiscretions of early life. Where a secret infirmity exists, involving not only the happiness of one life, bu£ also that of others, reason and morality dictate the necessity of its removal, for it ia a positive fact that premature decline of the Tigour of manhood, matrimonial unhappinees, compulsory single life, local and physical debility, etc., have their source in a obsav Ain> HEBiBLi OAUSB, the germ of which is planted in early life, and the bitter fruit tasted loko afterwards.

DrawonNatwo: ibieomptUyratt honour tbo accoptanot. ffiHIRTY years since, when Dr Smith first JL commenced practice hare, it was thought by medical men that to be a specialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, lik« most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, waa found rather to aid than to be "infra dig." to that profession wherein th« specialty was practised. Lallemand and Rioord in France, and Action in England, were for years cried down by their medical brethren. Now and for many yean past *icy have been looked up to and quoted by erery man who pretends to have any knowledge oi! the par ticulai branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves to. It was th« same with Erasmus Wilson, the " Bkin Doctor," r^ently knighted by her Majesty. Years since it waa the same with Dr L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallem&nd and Ricord) as a specialist In all cases of diseases and habits which produce symptoms of Nervous Affections, of Skin Erup* tions, Prostration, and make human beings invirile, or which unfit them to carry on the purposes of their being, or which demonstrates itBelf, on the other hand, in Eruptive Disease* and Secondary Forms of Affections ; in fulfil these cases how necessary it is to havo- the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetime^ to the studying and practising in this one branchf 1 of his profession. Hence now, after so many yean, all minuti» are familiar to hnn, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may not strike tho general practitione* at once, now, from constant practice and observation, make Dr L. L. Smith master of the subject. The medical profession — that is, the more liberal-minded of them — have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch — oculists, aurists, syphilio, mental da; eases, chest diseases, ana in fact every portion of the human frame, has now some membet of the profession who devotes his time to that and to none other. For instance, the "chest doctor" would on no account attend an asoouchement, and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise bis patient to go to that doctor who is most famed for treating the disease requiring special okUl. Dr L. L. Smith asks those who require threatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, and sterility, whose frames and whose constitution* are shattered, to consult him as an expert. Thirty (30) years' practice in this colony, with a practice extending throughout not only the Colonies, but in India, China, Fiji, and even in Bngland, he claims ought to be sufficient to cause every man or woman requiring such skill &s is alluded to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Syphilographer, no osher medical man has bean able to have such large experience as ho possesses, and for other allied affectionssuch as Nervous Disease — no one in the profor aion ha« enjoyed to much public confidence.
