Medical SPECIALITY I SPECIALISTS I Draw on Nature—she compels you to honour ', the acceptance, mHIRTY years since, when De Smith first X commenced practice here, it wss thought j by medical men, that to be a Speoialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, like most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found rather to aid than to i 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 years they have been looked up to, and quoted, by erery 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 by Her Majesty. Years since, it was the same with Dr. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Eicord) as a specialitt. In all cases of diseases and habits which produce symptoms of Nervous Affections, of Skin Eruptions, of Prostration, aud make human beiDgs 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 necei* eary it is to have the Specialist who has devoted hie whole lifetime to the studying; atd practising in this one branch of His profession ? Hence, now, after so many years, all minutiae are familiar to him, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may cot 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 reoog* nised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch—oculists, aurißts, syphilic, mental dis*. I eases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has i:ow 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 no*, think of setting a broken leg j but each wo'ald advise his patient to go to that doctor y/ no is most famed for treating the disease requiring special skill. ■ Db L. L. Smith asks those who require treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenj ness, and Sterility, whose frames and whose constitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert—thirty (30) years practice is this colony, witli 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 every man or woman re* quiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Syphilographer no other medical man has been able to have such large experience as he possesses, and for other allied affections— such as Nervous disease—no one in tbe pro* fession has enjoyed so much public confidence. >;: DRL.
