In these colonies thoße 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 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 Jiving lie, and that sooner or later bis vices will discover him to the" world.

Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are mined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for • years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L.

It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics o( the profession and advertise, to give those who require tbe services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who bag made this his especial study.
