"Ib there no hope ? the sick man said The silent doctor shook bis head." ' While there ib life there's hope, he said. " Mgroto, dum animas est, spes est" ' DE L. L. S M I T H (The only legally.quaJified medical man advertising). O OKBTITB — On all affections of the Nervous System) no * matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from earlylindigoretions. On Gout. . .■ .. .i On Rheumatism. In these colonies those excesses which we = have indulged in "hot youth " tell upon in ' 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'- i have, for combatting the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on aB good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later hi&, 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 procrastinationj, and points out to us, not to wait ti}l 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 makea enquiries as their standing, their length of • occupancy or residence j 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 sufferer frequently omita, • these necessary precautions and without re- ' gard to the fitness, qualification, experience V and ability for the particular ailment requir- *' ing treatment, he consults the neareßt manY 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 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, thesevery quacks, and exposed the variou* nostrums they are selling,— such as Phorohodyne 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 gtep out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch anoppor- • tunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has', made this hiß 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 OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUIiUTiSM J*«£ £ "5*5 can be *°nßulted fcy'iet- . collies?
