“ Lives of groat men till remind us, Wo can make our lives sublime ; And, dcpartihg, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” rpilE above is road with great interest 1 by thousands of young men. Tt inspires them with lion:, for in tho bright 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 abusocljrhis 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 Ims given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What lloi'F. can In* have? What aspirations? What chance of leaving tub footprints on the sands of time ? &For him, nlus I there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach run a lost life. Fur a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time,'ho must hr* endowed with a strong brain and nervous power, lie must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in u healthy body—the power to conceive—the energy to execute! But look at our Australian youth! See the emaciated form, tho 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 uis footprints on i the sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay suflicioiit attention to this subject ? Du they over ascertain tho 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, who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life has been de- j voted to thetreatment of these eases? Reader, I what is voru answer? Let each onounswer for himself. Barents see their progeny fading gradually’before their sight, sen them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for tho battle of lib*; yet one word might save them, ono sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances succeed in warding ol'f tin* impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by , appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joy*mis and happy life. Du. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. This whole profeMwiial life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental t*> Married Lite. 11 is skill is available to all—no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. Uis system of correspondence by litter is now so well‘organised and known, that comment would bo superfluous— by this means many thousands of patients have beta cured, whom lie has never seen and never known', : and it is carried
