Medical SPECIALITY! SPECIALISTS! Braid on Nature—she compels you to honour the acceptance. mHIRTY years since, when De Smith first' X commenced practice here, it was 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. Lallemand and Ricord, in France, and Aoton, 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 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 Bame 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 Kicord) as a specialist. la all cases of diseases nnd 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-.^^j devoted his whole lifetime to the studying ard practising in this one branoh 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 not strike the General Practitioner at once, now from constant practice and observation made Dr. I/. L. Smith master of the subject. I'he medical profession—that is, the more liberal-minded of them—have likewise recog« nised this fact, and Specialise now in every branch —oculists, aurißts, syphilic, mental diseases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has »>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 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 special skill. DbL. L. Smith asks those who require treatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, and Sterility, whose frames and whose constitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert —thirty (30) years practice in thw colony, with a practice extending throughout not only the Colonies but in ludia, China, Fiji, and even in England, he claim> 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 affeotions— such as Nervous disease —no one in the profession has enjoyed so much public confidence.
