." Is there no hope ? the sick man Baid The silent doctor shook his head.-' ' "While there is life there's hope, he said " JEgroto, dum animas est, spes est."

On all diseases arising from earlyj^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 futile. The sole idea should be the chance we posßesß of remedying the • ills"'we r 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 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 sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions^ and without re* gard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment Squiring treatment, he consults"'the nearest mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies' in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, ana" are bankrupt in spirits, hope arid money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, JDr 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 nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyna Essence of Life, &o.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have pboved 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 oppor* tuuity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hag made this his especial study.
