The value of this well known Family Medicine bus been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEAHS.

On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be tho chances we possess of remedying the ills we already hare,' for combatting the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is tho victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at lavge, 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 ci-.reful man inukea 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 truusucting the individual business he consults him upon.

Is it astonishing that bo many, are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for* yews pointed out to them that J, 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 very quacka, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling, —such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &o.— and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have phovxd to be 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 nay branch an opportunity of knowing they con consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his eepecial study. Dr L. L. Smith ia the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 year a, in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILIXY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
