The value of thiß well known Family Mcdi« cine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all gradeß of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEABS.

DE L. L. S M I I H (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). OOXBVIIBOn all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indisoretlOLS. On Gout. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful iutereat. Our- regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should he the chances we poseeee 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. 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 iheße necessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he codsults the nearest man whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Ib it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and ar> 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 proßeeuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and exposed the various nostrutns they are selling,—such as Fhoephodyne Essence of Life, &o.—and bad them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar arid flavoring matter," and the certificates I have PBOViiD 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 my branch an opportuuity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has 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 practioe on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY BYPHILITIO AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
