Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man makea 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 buainesa he consults him upon. Strange to sayUiowever, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without re* gard to tho fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailmeut requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruiued in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope aud 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 vevy quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phoßphodyne Essence of Life, &c. —and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pboved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give thoge who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hag made this his 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 on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OP POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
