" Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." . 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 Buch word as fail. Alasi say many, this is correct, — is true with regard 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;; vice, who has given unbridled license to his '■ passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What Hope can he have f What aspirations? What chance of leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For him, alas ! there is nonght 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 ci: Sowed 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, tbe vacant look, the listless hesitating manner.--th 6 distrust, the senseless, almce* idiotic, expression. Note his demearc and conversation, and then say, "Is that * man to leave his footprints on the sanda time?" Do parents, medical men and educator* youth, pay sufficient attention to this scb' ject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done bo. 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 Bight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down n health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; yet one word might 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 and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all— no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles dis* tani. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and Known that comment would be superfluous (by this meaus many thousands of patients have been cured whom he has 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 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 aucempany these latter, and. a cure is eflected without evea - 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 expanse of a personal: visit. Address — DR. L. L, SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
