“ Lives of great men all remind us, We can mako ourlivos sublime ; Ami. de*parting. leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.’’ r I 111 K above is read with groat interest 1 by thousands of young men. It inspires them with lloi'K. for in the bright lexicon of youth thorn is no such won! 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 vouth—to that man. who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who lias given unbridled license to liis passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What lion: ran lie have ? What aspirations? What chance of leaving ms footprints on the sands of time? For him. alas! there is nought but dark despair and self-rcprom-h rou a i.ost I. IKK. Fora man to leave bis font prints on' the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power, lie must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body—the power to conceive—the energy to execute ! But look at our Australian youth! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeaiiourjiud conversation, and then sav. Is that a man to leave ms footprints cm the sands of time. I>o parents, medical men and educators -of youth pay sullieieut attention in this subject ? Do 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 li:i< mad.- this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life lias be<-n devoted to tin-treatment of thesecases? Deader, wlmtis yon: answer? Let-each one answer for himself. Barents sin; their progeny fading gradually before their sight, sec them become emaciated old young men. broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for tie* 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 ea>es, would, in most instances succeed in warding oil* tin- Impending .loom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate- treatment restore the enervated svsteni to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Du. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne*, has made* lhe diseases of youth and those arising therefrom lii> peculiar study. This wholeprofesional life* lias been e?spe*c tally devote*el to the treatment of Ne-rvous Affections and tin* Diseases incidental to Married Life*. His skill i- available to all—no matter how many hundred-* nr thousands of miles distant. lli> system of correspondence by letter is 11 ow mi well organised and known, tliai comment would be superfluous— by tliL means many thousands of patients have bee n cured, whom he has never seen and never known : and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that tin he- lias been practising this branch of his preelession for twenty--d\ years in tin -e i nluiiii no .-ingle- instance* of ae-ci-deii ia I dbeovery ha> ever \ft happened. When Medicines are required, tlie-se are forwarded in tin- same* careful manner without a possibility of the •onle-lits of the Itareels being discovered. Plain ami clear diree-tions accompaauy these* latter, a cur" is efVecte-el without e*veu the* physician knowing who is his patient. i-i Men and Women with Broken-down 1 'on-liintiojis. tin* Nervous, the Debilitated, ami all Mtllering from any Disease whatever. Du. L. L. Smith’s plan of treatment eoniliiends it-elf. aveddiug. as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit.
