iffedfc&l " Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And, departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." r ■ iHE above is read with great interest by X thousands of young men. It inepires them with Hope, for in the bright «xison of youth there is no such word as fail. 4lasl say many, this is correct, — is true wl».o if sari to the youth who has never abuscJ his strength— and to the man who has n&< been "passion's slave." But to that yonth — to that man, w v- > hns wasted his vigor, who has yielded j, ; -ase'f op to the temporary sweet allurement of vie?, 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 i But look at our Austra. lian youth ! See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner the nervous distrust, the senseless, almcst idiotic, expression. Note his demearrr and conversation, and then say, "Is that a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time?" Do parents, medical men and educator? of 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 tbe killed advice of the medical man, who has made this branch of his profession his pat< ticular speciality, whose life has beende« voted to the treatment of these cases. Reader,' whatis 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, 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 distant, flis system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would be'superflous (by this means many thousands of patients have bevn cured whom he has never see and never _ known) ; and it is carried o* ith such judicious supervision that tbxugh he has been practising this branch of bis pro fession for 26 years in these Colonies, no sinSle 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 e&ected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Ne.-vous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease what* ever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatmentcommends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a persona visit. Address— DR. L. L, SMITH, 182, COLLINS T EET EAST* MELBOURNE.
