The Talue of this well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by aU grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEABS.

Our regrets are useless, our repining* futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already hare, for combatting ibe effects likely to mult. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his rices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of our future offspring, and 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, in the case 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 say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that to many an driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, bope 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 ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Photphodvne Essence ef Life, Ac.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring natter," and the certificates I have fbovbd to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession aiid 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 has made this his especial study. Dr L. L.
