'' Lives, of groat men all romind us, We inn make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of .time." THE abovo is read'Jwith' 1 great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas! say many, this is correct, —is true with regard to tho 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 has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above linos are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have ? "What aspirations ? What chanco of leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? j|For him, alas! there is nought but dark despair aud self-reproach for a lost LIFE. For a man to leave his footprints on the winds of timo.Jho 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—tho energy to execute! But look at our Australian youth! See the emaciated form, tho vacant look, the listless hesitating maimer, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour'and conversation, aud then say, Is that a man to leavo Ilia 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 cuuse of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict "sense of duty demands) seek tho skilled advice of tho medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his particular .speciality, whoso life has been devoted to the treatment of thesocases? Header, wliatisYoL'u answer ? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually'bcttore 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, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, ill most instances succeed in warding oft' the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. l>u. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, has made tho diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his pwulinr study. This' whole profosionul life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to nil—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 would be superfluous—(by .this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom hn has never seen and never known) : and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though lie has been practising this brunch of his profession for twenty-six years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded in the snmo careful manner without a possibility of tho ■onteuts of the lmrcels being discovered.
