" IJ»«3 of great moil all remind us, We can make our Urea sublime; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the winds of time." THE above is rend with great intei by thousands of voting men. It ires tliem with Hope, for in the bright —licon 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 slave." But to that youth—to that man, who has muted his vigor, who has yielded himself up 4o the temporary sweat allurements of vice, who has given unbridled licenso to his passions, to him the above lines are •but as a reproach. What Hope can he have? W)iut aspirations? What chance of leaving ins footprints on the sands of time ? ■ For him, alas! there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach wit a lost wfe. For a man to leave his footprints on tho strong brain and nervous power. Ho must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in ' ealthy body—the power to conceive—the <r&y to execute! But look at our Ausi youth! See the emaciated form, nt look, the listless hesituting almost idiotic expression. Note his domeanour'and conversation, 'and then say, Is that a' man to leave ins footprints on 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 don«\ so, do they [as a strict sense of duty demands) « gradually'before their sight, boo them bee emaciated old young men, broken n in health, enfeebled, unfitted for tha ittle of life; yet one wor' mnd and vigordr i, and by vatod sure a joyappropnnte treatment restore ino enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy lifo. Dn. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. This' whole profesional lifo has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and tho 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 by letter i H now so well'organisod und known, that comment would bo superfluous—(by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is curried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years hi these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. vjthen Medicines are required, these are forwarded in tho same careful manner without a possibility of the ■ontents of tho imrcels being discovered. Flaiu and clear directions accompaariy these latter, a cure is effected without even tho physician knowing who is his patient. i'o Men and Women with Brokon-down Constitutions, the Nervous, tho Debilitated, and all suffering from nny Disease whatever, Ui\. I-i- L. Smith's plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit.
