'! Lives of groat-men all remind uk, : »We can mako our Jivas sublime ;• t. .'And. departing, lenvj boliind us Footprints oh the tan is of time." TJtE above is read with groat interest by thousands of young men. It_ ii - spires them with Hope, for in tho brigl t lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas! say many, this is correct,—is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength—and to the*man who has not been "passion's sJaW?'- ' But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who t»s yieldted. .himself up to the temporary sweet allurements o ! vice, who has tiven unbridled license to Jiis passions, to him tho above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have? What asp'irations? What chance of leaving 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 sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, henlthy mind, in a healthy, body—the power to conceive—rhe traKaa youth! See the emaciated for Ad vacant look, the listless hesitatintr manner, tho nervous distrust, the sensale s, almost idiotic, expression. Note hjs d - meanour and conversation, and then ta;, Is that a man to leave ins footprints ou the sands of time. Do parents, medical .men, and educators of .youth pay sufficient'attention.to this subject ? ~Do they ever ascertain the' cause of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of tho medical man, w' o e emaciated old young men, broken u in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the la nf lif e ; yet one word might save )und and vigorous hoalth-givii g a medical man, hal.ituatcM ent and continuous • supervision of such cases, would, in must instances succeed in warding off tho impending dcom .ble and gloomy future, and by o[.'i«vjumie treatment restore the enei v itod sy-siein 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 his peculiar study. His whole piofesional life has been especially devoted to tho treatment of Nervous Aifections and the Disoasos 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 woidd bo superfluous—(by this means many thousands of pationts have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known); and it is _ carried on with such judicious supervision that though ho has boon practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happenol. When' Medicines are required, these are forwarded in tho sumo careful manner without a possibility of the contents of tho parcels being-discovered. Plain and clear directions accompauuy these latter, a euro is effected without even tho phviician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, tho Debilitatod, an.l all suffering from any Diseaso whatever, Dr. L. I;. Smith's plan of treatment pbramends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal DR. L. L. SMITH, 182 COLLINS-STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
