Medical SPECIALITY! SPECIALISTS! ' • ■ i Draw on Nature—the compels you to honour the acceptance. mHIRTY years since, when Db Smith first X commenced practice here, it wss thought < by medical men, that to be a Specialist was derogatory to the professional man,, but thif, like most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found rather to aid than to be " infra dig "to that profession, wherein the speciality was practised. Lallemand and Ricord, in France, and Acton, in England, were for years cried down by their medical brethren. Now and for many past yean 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 specially devoted themselves to. It was the same with Erasmus; Wilson, the " Skin Doctor," recently knighted % Her Majesty. . ■ Years since, it was the same with Dr. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Ricord) 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 carry on the purposes of their being, or which, demonstrates itself, on the other hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms of Affections. In all of these cases how necessary it is to have the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetime,, to the studying aid practising in this one branch of his pro* fession ? Hence, now, after so many years, all minutiae are familiar to him, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may not strike the General Practitioner at once, now from constant practice and observation made Dr. L. L. Smith master of the subject. The medical profession—-that is, the more liberal-minded of them—have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch—oculists, aurißtß, sypnilic, mental diseases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has now some member of the profession who devotes his time to that, and to none other. For instance, the "chest doctor" would on no account attend an accouchement, and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise his patient to go to that doctor who is most famed for treating the disease requiring speciaflrkill. Db L. L. Smith asks those who require treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, and Sterility, who?e frames and whose constitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert —thirty (30) years practice in thie colony, with a practice extending throughout not only the Colonies but in ludia, China, Fiji, and even in England, he claims ought to be sufficient to cause every man or woman requiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Syphilogra'pher no other medical man has been able to have such large experienoe'as he possesses, and* for other allied affections Buch as Nervous disease—no one in the^arofession has enjoyed so much public confidence. - . i' DRL. ~SMITH. ~ CONSULTATION FEE BY LETTER, £1.
