"Is there no hope ? the Bick man said

The silent doclor shook his head." ' While there is life there's hope, he said " JEgroto, dum animas est, spes est." DB L. L. SMITH (1 he only legally.qualified medical man advertising). C O IS 88118 — On all affections of the Nervous Sjßtem) no matter from what cauee arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. 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 iutile. 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 ss he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that Booner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of our lulure offspring, and the duty, we owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, and points out to us, not to wait till the ravßges 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 aiid as to bis capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, 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 ie astonibhing that so many are driven, mad, are ruined m health, and are 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 proßeimted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and expoeed the various nostrums they are selling,— such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have PEOT£D 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 been in,t Melbourne 24 years, in lull practice on .NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM. De L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter—Fee, £1. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. Db L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins street, East (Lat the Residence of the Governor) MEMBOTmNE. 647
