" nnHE I above is read with great interest by T JL thousanda of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there Is no such word as faiL Alas! say many this is correct,— is true with rerard to the youth who has never abased his strength— and to the man who has not been =■ "passion's slave." But to that youth— to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself l ~ up to the temporary sweet allurements of n vicp. who has given unbridled license to bis n passions, to him the above lines are but as a U reproach. What Hope can he have ? What 7 aspirations? What chance of leaving his II footprints on the sands of time ? Por Mm, )- alas ! there is nought but dark despair and | c self-reproach Jor a lost life. '» For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a '» pirons brain and nervous power. He most le possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in 6 a healthy body— the power to conceive— the a energy to execute ! But look at our Austra* ■• Han youth ! See the emaciated form, the * vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, d the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost '» idiotic, expression. Note his demeanor n and conversation, and then say, "Is that a ■ T man to leave Ms footprints on the sands of 0 time?" 1 Do parents, medical men and educators of * t youth, pay sufficient attention to this sabn ject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done so. do they (as £ a strict sense of duty demands) seek the c skilled advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his par* im ticular speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these cases Reader, what is your answer ? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their pro* *■ geny fading gradually before their sight, see > them become emaciated old young men, y broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted 6 for the battle of life ; yet one word might ® save them, one sound and vigorous healthd 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 future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated i. system to its natural vigor, and ensure a ' joyous and happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has D made the diseases of youth and those arising | therefrom his peculiar study. His whole r professional life has been especially devoted j to the treatment of Nervous Affections ani c the Diseases incidental to Married Life. c His skill is available to all— no matter how 8 many hundreds or thousands of miles diatan 5. His system of correspondence by ' letter is now so well organised and mown, '. that comment would be superfl ous (by this means many thousands of patients have j been cured whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he I has been practising this branch of his pro* fession for 26 years in these Colonies, no . single instance of accidental diicovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these are forwarded in the s*me ' careful manner without a possibility. of the j contents of the parcels being discovered. 9 Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is efiected without even . the physician knowing who is his patient. 3 To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease what*; ever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. t Address — [ DR. L. L, SMITH, : 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
