"Is there no hope ? the sick man said The Bilent doctor shook bis head." 1 While there is life there's hope, he said " dwni animas est, spes est." DEL. L. SMI T H (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). CO X SUITS — On ail affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cauee arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from earlyjmdiecretions. 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 Bhould be the chance we possess of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effectß 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 living lie, and that sooner or later Ms 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; 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 business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of medical man, the suiferer 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 manfc whose experience and practice, perhaps, ließ in quite an opposite direction. Is ie astonishing that so many are drijen 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 nofe also prosecuted, at my own expense, these veiy quacks, and expoeed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phwphodyne Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have peoted to be all forgeries. It is for thiß 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 caji consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover who has made this his especial study.
