Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The Bole idea should be the chances wo possess of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely lo result. Hide it as be 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 merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk j before employing a barrister, a careful man mukes enquiries a? their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in tho case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications ai.d os to his capabilities of transacting the individual business ho consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical mnn, 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 tho nearest-num, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in unite an opposite direction. la it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are rained in health, and aro bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ?

It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of tho profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportuuity of knowing they can consult; a legally qualified man, and' one, moreover, who has made this his especial atudy.
