VVe can make our lives sublime ; • And, 1 departing leave behind us | Footprints on the sands of Time." THE above is read with great interest by thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon if youth there is not such a word as fail. Alas ! lay many, this ia correct, —is true with regard to the yduth who has never abused his strength — , and to tl/e 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. ■ lie temporary sweot allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions,' to him. the- above lines" are l>ut as a reproach, What Hope can. he have?. What aspirations.? What chance of leaving his footprints on 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 the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain, and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigom'ous, healthy mind, in a; health body — the power to conceive- -the onergy to execute I But look at bur Australian youth ! bee the bmaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanour and conversation, and then say. Is that a man to cave his footprints on the sands of timo ! 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; sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the meJioal man. who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases ? Reader, what is youv answer ? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their proeeny 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 vnpendiHg doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the dnorvated system to its natural vigour, and enure a joyous and happy life. Dr L. L." Smith, of Melbourne, has made the deeeuses of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional- life has boen especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections nnd the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His it skill available to all — no matter how many hurdreds or thousands of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter jp >iowj?o well organised and ltnown, that com men would bo 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 been practising this branch of his • profession for tw<?nty-six years in these Colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has over yet happened. When medicines are required, these are forwarded in the same careful ir.anner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and lear directions accompany the latter, and acure is eiFected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Jl en 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, av«iding as it does, the inconvenience and, expense of a personal visit. Address — DR L. L.

It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built, up until strong enough to resist ,. every tendency to disease.
