, “ Lives of great men nil remind us, Wo ran make our lives sublime ; And. departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” ( . t rnUK above is.read with great interest by thousands,of voting men. It inspires then! with Tlovij, for in the bright . lexicon of youth there is no sneli word as fail. Alus! say many, this is correct, —is true with regard to the youth ? who has never abused his strength—and j to th“ nian who has not been “passion’s i slave.” But td'lhat youth— to'thnt mmTrwho bus wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to bis passions, to him the above lines are but ns a reproach. What llopk can he have ? What aspirations? What chance of leaving ms footprints oh the sands of time ? . Fur him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair arid self-reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave Ids footprints on the samk of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. Tie must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, iu a healthy body—the power to conceive—‘the energy to execute 1 Hut look at our A us- | traliaTl youth 1 Sue 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 nrs footprints on tlie sands of time. Do parents, medical men and educators of youth pay sti(Anient attention to this subject ? I>o they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so. do they (as a strict sense of duty demands' seek the skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession bis particular speciality, whoso life has been devoted to thetreatmeut of thesecases? .Render, whatisYorp. answer? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the 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 sneli cases, would, in most instances succeed iu warding oIV the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system it* natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dis. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, has made tho discuses of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. This whole profesional life has been especially devoted tn the treatment of Nervous Affections and the J)isea>«*s incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all—no matter l»nw many hundred.** or thousands of miles disj taut. I!is system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that eomnieiit would be superfluous—(by this means many thousands of patients have been cured, whom he lias never seen and fnl manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompaatiy these latte-*, a cure is clfe-ted without even the phvdeian knowing who is his patient. To M**n and Women with P»roken-do\vn Prostitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and :ilI suffering from any Disease whatever. Du. L. L. Smith’s plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it docs, the inconvenience and expense of u personal visit. A mm ess— DR. L. L. SMITH. 182 COLLINS-STRKKT FAST.
