Medical SPECIALITY! SPECIALISTS! Draw on Nature — she compels you to honour the acceptance. YTVBIRTi years since, when Db Smith first JL commenced practice here, it wsa thought by medical men, that to be a Specialist was derogatory to the professional man, bat 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. Lallemand , and Ricord, in France, and Acton, in England, were for years criedg down 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 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. SMITE, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Kicord) as a specialist. In all cases of diseases and habits which produoe 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 necee-.. sary it is to have the Specialist who has'Jt devoted his whole lifetime" to the studying aid practising in this one branch of his profession? Hence, now, after bo many years, all minutiae ere familiar to him, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppojsf) may tiot strike the Genera} Practitioner. at once, now from constant practice and observa* tion made Dr. L. L. Smith master of .the subject. . , -■ r vine medical profession —that is, the^ more liberal-minded of them—have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch—oculists, aurists, syphilic, 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. Ifor instance, the "chest doctor" would on no account attend an accoucVement, and the oculist would not think of Betting a broken leg ; but each would advise 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, Barren* ness, and Sterility, whose frames and whose constitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert—thirty (30) years praotice 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 re* quiring such skill as is alluded to above, to . consult him either personally or by letter...jj 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 the profession has enjoyed bo much public confidence.
