Medical " Lives of great men all remind üb, \ We can make our lives sublime And, departing leave behind ns^M|tf} Footprints on the sands of tinrteT^B?*'' riIHE above is read with great inter* ft Ijr JL thousands of yonng men. It them with Hope, for in the bright «*icoo of youth there is no such word as fai'. ilaej say many, this is correct, — is true w"« j rvgard to the youth who has never abr lA bis strength — and to the man who has n • berp " passion's slave." But to that youth — to that man, '-tittS waßted his vigor, who has yielded ase'f up to the temporary sweet allurem'' <B » vice, who has given unbridled license, o his passions, to him the above lines are buu as 4 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 despairand self-reproach for a lost life. For a man to leave his footpr nts on the sands of time, he must- be endowed with a sfcrong brain and nervous power. He must possess & sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in \ a healthy body — the power to conceive — the ecersy to execute ! But look at our Austra. lian youth I See the emaciated form, the vacant look, the listless hesitating manner - the nervous distrust, the senselesß, almcßt idiotic, expression. Note his demearcr and conversation, and then say, "Is that a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time?" Do parents, medical men and educators ol youth, pay sufficient attention to this sebi 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 haa made this branch of his profession his pal 1 ticular speciality, whose life has been de« voted to the treatment of these cases. Reader, what ia your answer? Let each one answer for himself. Parents Bee their pro* geny fading gradually before their sight, Bee 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, haa 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 and the Diseases incidental to Married Life. His skill is available to all — no matter 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 judiciouß supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his pro fesßion 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 oure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patienb. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the Debilitated, and all suffering from any DisaMßrwhat* ever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and' expense of a perbsria visit.!; Address— \ DR. L.
