"Is tbere no bope ? the sick man said Tbo silent doctor shook bia bead." ** "While there is life there's hope, he Mid, 11 JEgroto t dum anima* est, spes est." DE L. ~ SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). COKBFITS — On all Affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from earl/ indiscretions. ■ ■ On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we hare indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest:. . Our regrets are uselets, our repiningi futile. The sole idea should be the chances we posses* of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that be is a living lie, and that eooner "or later his rices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of our futunf offspring, mni the duty, we owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, and points out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, io the caee of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the' individual business he consults him upon.' Strange to cay, however, in the .selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without re* gard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he cooßults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astenitbing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies I Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacka, and expoted the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, Ac—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have PKOYBD to bo all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hag I made this bis especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice en NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHhUMATISM.
