Medical " Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And, departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." rriHE above is read with great intenrt by X thousands of young men. It ■ them with Hope, for in the bright of youth there is no such word as faiJ. ATJP^ say many, this is correct, — is true w^ii f.« gard to the yonth who has never abr lA his strength — and to the man who has n;. brr? "pasßion'sslave." But to that youth — to that man, *•") f\a wasted his vigor, who has yielded jiee'f up to the temporary Bweet allurem'^ia n vice, who has given, unbridled license, o his passions, to him the above lines are bu» as a / reproach. What Hopb can he have ? What aspirations? What chance of leaving his footprints on the Bands of time ? For him, alas ! there is nought bnt dark despairand self-reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footpr nts on the sands of time, he must be en towed 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 Austra. lian youth ! See the emaciated form, I ' -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 o time?" . Do parents, medical men and educatcrv of youth, pay sufficient 'attention to this scb. ject ? 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 r of his .profession his pati ticular speciality, whose life has been de> voted to the treatment of these cases. Reader, what is your answer ? Let each one answer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their eight, 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; 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 ani the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all — no matter how many hundreds or thousands of miles dis« tant. _ His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and &nown, that comment would be superfious (by this means many thousands of patients have been cured whom he has never see and never known) ; and it is carried ov 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 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 accompany these latter, and a cure is efieoted 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 expanse of a perosna visit. fß^Address— DR. L. L, SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
