" Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of tune." THE above is read with great interest by thousands 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 re* gard 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 vice, 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 nervous 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 Anstra* lian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating mannerj the nervous distrust, the senseless, aimer* idiotic, expression. Note his demearc* and conversation, and then say, "Is that * man to leave his footprints on the sands time?" , . Do parents, medical men and educate™ youth, pay sufficient attention to this seb < 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 killed 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 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. broken down n health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; yet one word mighh save them, one sound and vigorous 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 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 and the Diseases incidental to Married Jjiie. His skill is available to all— no matte? how many hundreds or thousands of mUes dis* tant. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known that comment would be superftoua (by this; meaus many thousands of patients have been cured whom he haß never see and never known) ; and it is carried o" ; with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his pro fession for 26 years in these Colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happened. When Medicines ara required, these, are forwarded ia-the same careful manner without a possibility of the contents of the parcels being discovered Plain and clear directions aucompany these latter, and a cure is effected 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 whatever, 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.
