" Lives of great men all remind us, i We can make our lives subliinW*J^ And, departing, leave behinfl^^^" l^^ Footprints on the sands of time." riiHE above is read with great interest by J_ thousands of young men. ft 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 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 vigor, who has yielded himself ■ up to the temporary sweet allurements of i vice, who has given unbridled" license to his l passions, to him the above lines are but as a , reproach. What Hope .can he have ? What i aspirations? What chance of leaving his 1 footprints on the sands of time ? For him, • alas ! there is nought but dark despair and 3 «elf -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 i posresi ft sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in ? a healthy body— the power to conceive— the i energy to execute ! But look at our Austra- . linn youth ! See the emaciated form, the r vacant look, the listless hesitating manner, [ the nervous distrust, the senseless, almost , idiotic, expression. Note his demeanor l and conversation, and then say, "Is that a • man to leave his footprints on the sands of > time?" 1 Do parents, medical men and educators of i youth, pay sufficient attention to this sub* r ject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of 1 this decay ; and having done so, do they (as ' a strict sense of duty demands) seek the 7 skilled advice of the medical man, who has 3 made this branch of his profession his par* ' ticular speciality, whose life has been de- ' voted to the treatment of these cases ■ Reader, what is your answer ? Let each on answer for himself. Parents see their pro ■ geny fading gradually before their sight, .see ; them become emaciated old young men, r broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted ) for the battle of life ; yet one word might ) save them, one sound and vigorous health* I 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 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 3 professional life has been especially devoted r to the treatment of Nervous Affections an! 1 the Diseases incidental to Married Life. 9 His skill is available to all— no matter how 5 many hundreds or thousands of miles dis* 1 tani. His system of correspondence by ' letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would be superflous (by this ' means many thousands of patients ha.ye been cured whom he has never seen and ■ never known) j and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his pro* 1 fession for 26 years in these Colonies, no single instance of accidential discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines are required, these 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 eflected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. 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. ■' > Address— '• DR. L. L, SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE; .
