" Lives of great men all remind us, "\Vu can make our Jives sublimo; A nl. departing, 1m vo behind us Footprints on tho sands of timei" THE above is read with great intoresl by thousands of young: men. It ii - spires them with Horn, for in the. br lexicon of youth thoro is no such v as,fail. Alas! say many, this is correct, —is true with regard to tho youth who has never abused his strengthto tlio man who has not been " pai slave." . But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded' himself up to the temporary sweet allurements <>' vice, who lias j iven unbridled liconso to iiis passions, to him tho above lines cr? but as a reproach. What Hove can he have ? What aspirations? What chaneo of leaving ills footprints on tho sands of tiaio? For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair aud self-reproach fob a i/jst LIFT. For a man to leave his footprints on tho sands of time, he must bo endowed with a strong bruin aud nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body—tho power to conceive—:he energy to execute ! But look at our Australian youth! Seo tho emaciated form, tho vacant look, the listless hositntini m; mer, tho nervous distrust, the soi.-sde s, almost idiotic expression. Note his ii - meauour uud conversation, and thou say, Is that a man to leavo ins footprints on tho sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject? Do they ever ascertain tho cause of this decay ; and having dono so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, wo bus made this branch of his profession )us particular speciality, whose life has boon devoted to the treatment of these cases? Konder, wliatisvoua answer? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fadii g gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for tho battle of life; yet one word might save them, ouo sound and vigorous healtli-givii g letter from a medical man, haliaiato.i to tho treatment aud continuous supervision of such eases, would, in most inslunces succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the onoiv tid system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, has made tho diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. iiis wh ie profesional life lias boon especially devoted tu the treatment of Nervous Affections aud I lie 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 bill'; ter is now so well organised and known. that comment would bo superfluous—(by this means many thousands of patients have Ii .en cured, whom ho lias never soon and never known) ; and it is carriotl un with such judicious supervision that ii,.nigh he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in llmso colonies, no single instance of uccideiital discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of tho •.intents of tho narcels being discovered.
