" Lives of great nicn all remind us, We can make our livos sublime; And, dopnrting, leave behind us FootpriuU on the sands of time." _L by thousands of young mon. It inspires thorn with Jlovt., for in the* bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alns! say many, this is correct,—is truo with rognrd to the youth who has never nbusedjhis 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 allurement') of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but us ii reproach. What Hopb can lie have ? What aspirations ? What chance of leavinjr iris footprints on tho sands of time ? For him. nlus! thero is nought but dark despair und self-reproach rdit A lost LIFk. For a man to leave his footprints on tho ■""ids of tirao.Jho must bo endowed with a ong brain and nervous power. Ho must Bsess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in u healthy body—tho power to conceive—tho energy to execute! But look at our Australian youth! Setf the emaciated form, tho vacant look, tho listless hesitutiug manner, the nervous distrust, tho senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and thon say, Is that a man to lcavo nis footprints on tho sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pny sufficient attention to this subject? Do thoy ever ascertain tho causo of this decay ; and haviug dono so, do thoy (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 Hfo has bonn devoted to the treatment of thosocttsos? Reader, whatis Your, answer? Lot each one answer for himself, l'aronts see their progouy fading gradually : bufora their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, brokon down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for tho buttle of life; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-giving hotter from a medical man, habituated to tho treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances succeed in warding otf tho impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restoro the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. 1)1:.

This! wholo profesional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of NorVoris A flections und 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 correspondent by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous—(hy this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never seon and never known) ; and it is '_ carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines nro required, those aro forwardod in the snmo careful manner without a possibility of tho contents of the parcels being discovered.
