gfedlcal " of great men all remind us, i We can make'onr lives sublime And, departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands^of time." nnHE above is read with great intewtby J. thousands of young men. It iueplres them with Hope, for in the bright tiizon of youth there is no raoh word as fat*. Alas! say many, this is correct,— la true w<'«u regard to the youth who has never abu id bin strength— and to the man who has n.bf »p "passion's slave." * But to that youth — to that man, 'vi Mi Him wasted his vigor, who has yielded aseif up to the temporary sweet allurem" it «« vice, who has given unbridled license b his passions, to him the above lines are bu. 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 life. , ' A, For a man to leave his footprints on thej sands of time, he must be eciowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mfara^m a healthy body— the power to conceive- the energy to execute ! But look at our Austra. 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 Ma footprints on the sands of time?" v " Do parents, medical men and educator* 61 youth, pay sufficient attention to this seb» jectf? Do they ever, ascertain the cause of this decay ; and having done sc, 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 pat« ticular speciality, whose life has been de« voted to the treatment of these cawi. Reader, what Is your answer? Let each one answer for himself. Parents, see their progeny 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 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, hM made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom hia peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections an! the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to aU— no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. ißis 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 been cured whom he has never see' 'and never known) ; and it is carried o* ith such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his pro fesßion for 26 years in these Colonies, no single instance of accldential 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 effected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, - and all Buffering from any Disease what" ever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S pian of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a perotna visit.
