"Is there do 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." Bft L. L. S M I T H (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). COBBJIIS — On all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from "what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from earlyiindiscre> tions. On Goat. On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which me have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful .interest. Our regrets are useless, our repining futile. The Bole idea should be the chance we possess of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects likely to result. Bide 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 Eaitb, 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. Beiore 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 adyiser, both ao to his legal qualifications and ub to biß capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him uppa. Strange to say, however, in the selection of medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and withoat 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 astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in 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 prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and exposed the various npatrums 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 peoved 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 Melbourne 24 years, in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OE PO WER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OE CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
