*• Li,- - »i -ivat men all remind ns, W.* can make ouv lives sublime ; \ ! departing, leave behind us Footprints ou the sands of time.” WIIK above is read with great inteve-t } hy thousands of young men. It inspires them with lion:, for in tlit* bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas! say many, this is correct, —is truo with regard to the youth who has never abused; his strength— ami to the man who lias not been “ passion’s slave.” But to tbnt voutb —to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to tlm temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Horn can ho have ? What aspirations y What chance of leaving ins footprints on the sands of time y For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach rou a lost i.iit:. For a man to leave his footprints ou the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a,sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body—the power to conceive—the energy to execute ! But look at our Australian youth! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, 'and then say. Is that a man to leave ms footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject y Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so, do tlvy as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession Ids particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to thotivaimeut of vhesccasesy Header, what is Yon: answer y Let each one answer for himself. Fa rents see their progeny fading gradually b-forc iheir'sight; see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfiti< <1 for tho battle of life; yet one word might save tlie.n, one sound and vigorous health-giving Liter from a in dS-.d man. habituated to l'i* 1 ! real meat and continuous sup.-rvi- .* op. of such eii;-es. would, in most iuslanee*
