Medical SPECIALITY! SPECIALISTS! Dratv on Nature—she compels you to honour the acceptance, mniBTY ysars since, when De Smith first JL. commenced practice here, it was thought by medical men, that to be a Specialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, iike moefc other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was founi rather to aid. than to be " infra dig " to that profession, wherein the speciality was practised,. Lallemend and Ricorcl, in France, and Acton, in England, were for yearg cried dowa by their medical brethren. Now and for many past years they have been looked up to, and quoted, by every man who pretends to have any knowledge of the particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen Bpecially devoted themselves to. It was the same with Erasmus Wileon, the " Sk»n Doctor," recently knighted by Her . Majesty. Years since, it was the name with Dr. L. L. Shith, of Melbourne, who practised (ac did Lallemand and Eicord) as a specialist. In all cases of diseases and habits which produce symptoms of Nervous .Affections, of Skin Eruptions, of Prostration, aud make human beings invirile, or which unfit them to cjrrj on the purpooes of. their being, or wliich demonstrates itself, on the other hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms "of Affections. In all of these caseß how necessary it is to hare the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetimo to the studying > a' d practising in this one branch of his pro- ' feseion ? Hence, now, after so many years, all minutiae are familiar to him, and syrup* tome which {it is not unreasonable to suppose) may tot strike the General Practitioner at * once, now from constant practice and obserra« tion made Dr. L. L. Smith master of the subject. •...".. i'he medical profession—that is, the more liberal minded of them —have, likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch—oculists, aurists, sypbilic, moatal diseases, chest diseases, aid in fact every portion of the human frame, has i'ow some member of the profesaion who devotes his time \o that, and to none other^ For instance, the •"chest doctor" would on no account attend an accoue'-ement, and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise his patient to go to that doctor who js most famed for treating the disease Yequiritog special skill. . : ; De L. L. Smith asks those who require treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, and Sterility, whore frames and whoee destitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert —thirty (30) yeara practice in this colony, with a practice extending throughout not only the Colonies but in. India, China, Fiji, and even in England, he claims ought to be sufficient to cause oyerj man or woman .requiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either .personally cr by letter. As.a S.yphilographer no other medical man ' has, been able to have such large experience ag he porsesses, and for other allied affections— such as Nervous disease—no ono in U>3,profession has enjoyed co muoh public eonu dence.
