Medical SPECIALITY! SPECIALISTS! Draw on Wutnxe—s7ie compels you to honour tlie acceptance. mHIETY years since, when Db Smith first JL commenced practice here, it was thought 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 be " infra dig " to that profession, wherein the speciality Was practised. Lallemand and Ricord, in France, and Acton, in England, were for years criedjj down by their medical brethren. Wow and (or many past years they have been looked up to, and quoted, by every man who pretends to have %ny knowledge of the particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves to. It was the same with Eraamus Wilson, the " Skin Doctor," reoently knighted by Her MajestyYears since, it was the same with Dr. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Eicord) as a speoialist. In all cases of diseases and habits which produce symptoms of Nervouß Affections, of Skin Eruptions, of Prostration, aud make human beings invirile, or which unfit them to carry on the purposes of their being, or v/hich. demonstrates itself, on the other hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms of Affections. In all of these cuaea bisk necessary it in to have the Specialist ha§ devoted his whole lifetime to the studying at d practising in this one branch of his profession ? Hence, now, after bo 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 ef them—have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch—oculists, aurists, sypnilio, mental diseases, 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 . " chest doctor" would on no account attend an accouchement, and the oculist 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. '*M%% - '- .■ Db L. L. Smith asks those who require treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrennesß, and Sterility, whose 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 India, China, Fiji, and even in England, he claims ought to be sufficient to cause every manor 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 aa . he possesses, and for other allied affections— such as Nervous disease—no one in the profession has enjoyed so much public confidence.
