On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged iv " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets aro useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chuncoa we possess 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 he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world.

Before negotiating with a inerckaut, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man niakea enquiries as their standing, their length of occupuncj or residence; and, iti the caee of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications uud es to bis 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 re* gard 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 &v opposite direction.

Is it astonishing thub 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 ? Have I not also prosecuted, ufc mj own expense, these veiy quacks, aud exposed the various uostrutns they are seliing,~such as Phosphodyne Hssouce of Life, &o.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring natter," and the eertiGcates I have pboyjjd to be all forgeries. It is for thia 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 coußult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this bis especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he hat been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice en NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OP CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
