" Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time."j rFIHE above is read with great interest by A. thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no suoh word as fail. Alas! say many, this is correct,— is true with recard to the youth who has never abused his strength — and to the man who has hot been "passion's slave." But to that youth— to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vicp^ who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but 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 nervons power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body— the power to conceive— the energy to execute ! But look at our Australian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, the nervons distrnst, the senseless, almost idiotic, expression. Note his demeanor and conversation, and then say, "Is that a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time?" Do parents, medical men and educators of youtb, pay sufficient attention to tbis 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 medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to the treatment of these ca«s Reader, what is your answer ? Let each on answer for himself. Parents Bee their pro geny 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 mi^ht save them, one sound and vigorous healthgiving 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 system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections ani the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all— no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distank. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and znown, that comment would be supeiflons (by this meaus many thousands of patients have been cured whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that thoueh he has been practising thi3 branch of his profession for 26 years in these Colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, tbese are forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is efiected without even the physician knowing who is his patienfci 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 itsolf, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expsnse of a personal visit. Address-*-DR. L. L, SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
