ALEXANDER IRONSIDE has been- appointed Government Life Insurance Agent for this District. 254 " Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing leave behind hs Footprints on the sands of Time." THE above is read with great intereat by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lej>ie&u >i youth there is not such a word as fail. Alasi ! .<ay many, this is correct, —is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength — and to the man who has not been " passion's slave." But to that youth—to that man who has wasted his vigour, who has yielded himself up to be temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. > What Hope can ho have? What aspirations? What chance of leaving his footprints ou the sands of time? For him, alas ! there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach for a lost-life ! - For a man to leave his footprints on tha sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigourous, healthy mind, in a health body — the power to conceive- -the energy to execute ! But [ look at Our Australian youtb \ See the emaciated form, the vacant look, tbe listless hesitating j manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour i and conversation, and then say. Is that a man to I cave his footprints on tbe sands of time I Do parents, medical men, and educators of youth pay sufficient attention to this subject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so, do they (as a strict senseof duty demands) seek the skilled advico of the medical man, who has mado this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life baa been devoted to the treatment of theso cases? Reader, what is your answer? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigourous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances, succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy futu.-e, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigour, and enure a joyous and happy life. Dr L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, has made the deseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His is skill available to all— no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter h now so well organised and known, that commeu would be superfluous— (by this means many thousands of patients have been cured whom he has never seen and never known ; and t is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has beon practising this branch j of his profession for twenty-six years in these Colonies, no single instance of accidental disc very has ever yet happened. When medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the conI tents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and lear directions accompany the latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician i knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Address — DR L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins-street East, Melbourne.
