aledlcal r " Lives of great men all remind us, We can make'our Uves sublime And, departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." fTIHE above is read with great inter* rt by J_ thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright txison of youth there Is no such word as fat. .Alias I say many, this is correct, — is true w<*<u r?« gard to the youth who has never abu (d hi* strength— and to the man who has n--V ben* "passion's slave." But to. that youth — to that man, * t« n*s wasted his vigor, who has yielded ' itself up to the temporary sweet aUarenu"fcl n vice, who haa given unbridled Ucense o his passions, to him the above lines are bn« as • reproach. What Hops 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 lift. ; r For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he moßt be ei:4dwed with a strong brain and nervous power. He ™«"fi. possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, ix^ a healthy body— the power to conceive— the energy to execute ! Bat look at oar Aastra> lian youth ! See : the emaciated form, the vacant look,, the listless hesitating manner the nervous distrust, the senseless* almost idiotic, expression. Note his demearcr and conversation, and then say, ''Is that a man to leave his footprint* on the sands of time?" Do parents, medical men and educatcrr of youth, pay sufficient attention to.thisjirbi iect ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done sc, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the kiUed advice of the medioal man, who has made this branch of his profession his pan ticular speciality, whose life has been de« voted to the treatment of these cases. Reader, what is your answer ? Let eaoh one answer for himself. Parental see theterprogeny fading graduaUy before their siglft; see them become emaciated old yoong men. broken down n health, enfeebiedii unfitted for the battle of life : yet one word might 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 ensore a joyous andhappy life. -.■■ , } - • , Dr L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, nai made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar -Study.. .His f wbole professional 'life has'been'especiaUyileVoted 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 thbasands'bf joSm dis* tant. flis system of oorresp\>ndefioe by letter is now so weU organised and known, that comment would be superflous (by this means many thousands oorf r patients, have been cured Whdm-he'haV'never ace* and never known) ; and it is carried V" ith such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his 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 posslbUityof the contents of the parcels being discovered Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a oure is efieoted without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and aU suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expanse of a peroma visit. . , , ;! , *V F * Address— DR.
