Medical SPECIALITY! SPECIALISTS! Draw on Nature—she compels you to honour the acceptance, nnHIRTY yeara since, when Db Smith first JL * commenced practice here, ifc wss thought by medical men, that to be a Specialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, 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. 1 Lallemand and Ricord, in France, and Acton, in England, were for years criedj down by, their medical brethren. Now and for many past years they have been looked up to, and quoted, by every man wno 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 Bnd Bieord) as a specialist. In all cases of diseases and habits which produce %mptoms 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 ForqjSof Affections. In all. of these cases how necessary it is to have the Specialist who has devoted hie whole lifetime to the studying at d 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 tot stride the General Practitioner at once, now from constant practice and obserra* tion 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, aurists, sypbilio, mental dieeases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has row some member of the profession who devotes his time to that, and to none other. For instance, the 11 cheßt doctor" would on no account-attend an accouc 1 emenfc, and the ocuHst would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advice his patient to go to that doctor who is most famed for treating the disease requiring special skill. 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 this 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 Syphilographer no other medical man has been able to have such large experience as he possesses, and for other allied affectionssuch as Nervous disease—no one in the profession has enjoyed so much public confidence.
