"Is there no hope ? the sick man said The Bilent doctor shook his head." ' While there is life there's hope, he said " Mgroto, duni aninias est, spes est." DE L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). CONBVIIS — On all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiecretions. : 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 repining futile. The sole idea should be the chance 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 aB 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 j before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as their Btanding, their length of occupancy or residence j and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual busineßß he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of medical man, the Bufferer frequently omits, these necessary precautions and without regard to tho fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, lice, m quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt m spintß, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that J, 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 very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,— such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed* and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugared flavoring matter," and the certißcates I have psoved 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 opportunity 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 beenin Melbourne 24, years, in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
