"Is there no hope ? the sick man said The silent doctor shook his head." ' 'While there is life there's hope, he said " Mgroto, dum animas est, spes est," DE L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). CO X SUITS — On ail affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early, indiecre* tions. On Gout. On Eheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we have indulged in "hot youth" tell upon u» with fearful interest.

Our regrets are uselesß, our repining futile. The sole idea should be the chance we possess of remedying the ills we alreadj 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 liviDg 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, nob 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 bußinesß he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary prccautione 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 drivea mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that J, Dr L. i. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Have I not also proßecuted, at my own expense, these, very quacks, and expoEed the various n<*« trums they are selling,—such as Phosphodjn* Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have moved 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 Btudy. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in. Melbourne 24 years, in full practice on NERYOUB DISEASES
