Medical " Livess of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And, departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." npHE above is read with great Intend; by J_ thousands of young men. It iigpires them with Hope, for in the bright, *jcicon of youth there is no Buch word as faU. Alasl say many, this is correct,— is true w^.» *> gard to the youth who has never abr i,l bis strength — and to the man who has n.-r bfp? " passion's slave." But to that youth — to that man, *••> Ins wasted his vigor, who has yielded aseU up to the temporary sweet allurenvcta » vice, who has given unbridled licenst o his passions, to him the above lines are bu<i as n 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 deapairatid self-reproach for a lost life. For a man t" leave his footpr nts on «J;e Sftnds of time, he must be endowed with a etrong 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, 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 footprints on the sands o time?" Do parents, medical men and educator? oi youth, pay sufficient attention to this scbi 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 of his profession his "pa?Vv w ticular speciality, whose life fi as been de> Jw voted to the treatment of these cases. Reader, what is 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 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, lias made the diseases of youth and those, arising therefrom hia peculiar study. Hia 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 matte; how many hundreds or thousands of miles distant. _ His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would be superflous (by this meaus 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 sinSle instance of accidehtial 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 suffering from any Disease what 9 ever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a perosna vißit. '■'■ Address— DR. L.
