" Lives of gre&t men all remind xa We oaa mako our Uvea sublime 5 And, departing, leave bebmd ub Footprints on tho sands ol time.'' THE above is read with great Interest b) thousanda of young men, It inspire* then with Hope, for In the bright lexiaen of youtk there Is ho suoh word as "fail." Alas I aaj many, thla la oorreot—fa true with regard to the youth who hits never abused hia strength, and to tho man who has no 4 been " paetWt slave." But to that youth—to that man who hat wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up tc the temporary sweet allurements of vice, whe has given unbridled license to his paesiona v tc hla the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have? What aspiration*! What chance of leaving hit footj rlnts on the sands of time ? For him, alas I there la naught but dark despair aud self-reproach for a lott life. For a man to leave his footprints on tha sand* of time, he must ba endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. Ho must posses* t sound, vigorous, healthy mind, In a health} body—*he power to conceive—the energy tt execute I But look at oar Australian youth 1 See the emaoiated form, the vacant look, the lisilosa hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost Idiotic expression. Note hla demeanor and conversation, and then say, la that a man to leave hit footprints on th* lands of time. Do parents, medical men, and educator* ol youth pay sufficient attention to thla subject Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay j and having done so, do they (as a strlot sense ol duty demands), seek the skilled ad vloe of the medical man who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality—whose life hai been devoted to the treatment of these oases 1 Reader, what Is your answer? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see then; become emaciated old young meu, broken dowi In health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle ol life; yet one word might brvg them, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medio* man, habituated to the treatment and oontinuoui supervision of such cases, would in most Instances succeed In warding off tho Impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to Its natural vigor, and ensure & joyoui and happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has mads the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. Hla whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment ol Nervous Affections and the Diseases Incidental to Married Life. Hla skill la available to allno matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter la now so well organised and known, that comment would be superfluous (by {thla mean many thousanda of patients have been cured whom he has never seen and never known) j and It is carried on with suoh judloloua sapervisloa that, though he has been practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in then colonies, no single instance of accidental dio* oovery has ever yet happened. When Modi olnes are required, these are forwarded in th same careful manner without a possibility of th oontents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and dear directions accompany these latter, and a oure is effected witnout even the physician knowing who is hla patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Con* stltutions, the Norvoua, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L, L, SMITH'S plan of treatment commends Itaelf, avoiding, as It doea, the inconvenience and tr penae of a personal visit.
