SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising). CONSULTS — On all affections of the Nervous System) no matter from what cause arising). ' On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscre* tior.s. .. On Gout. On Rheumatism. - In there 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 possess of remedying the ills we already have, for combatting the effects 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 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 raTHges break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man maket enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both at 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 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 itr astonishing that bo 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, Br L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies ? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne Essence of Life, &o.—and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificatesL 'have pbovbd 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 hag made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he haa been in Melbourne 24 years, in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OF POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION I GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
