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 as he can, Btill is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him, to 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 j and, in the caße 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 Bay, however, in the selection of medical man, 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 the nearest mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not foe 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 veiy quacks, arid 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 pkoved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step but of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opporr tunity of knowing thsy 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 Melbourae 24 years, in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBIHTX SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION aOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
