Fifst-ClaSs Livery Stables. “ Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind Us Footprints on the sands of time." THF. above is read with great interest ny thousands of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as f'il. Alas! say many, this is cornet,—is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength—and to the man who has not been “ passion's slave.” But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporal y »»e>i allurements ot vice, who has given unbridled license to his passions, to him the above lines are but as a reproach. What HoPe can he have? What aspirations Wh j chance of leaving his footprints mi Lie sands of time ? For him. alas { (/.ere is nought hut dark despair and oeli-zeproach for a lust life. For a man to leave his footprints on the sands of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and nervous power. He must possess a sotxnd, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body-—the power to conceive the energy to execute ! But look at oar Australian youth! See the *maiinted form, the vac'.mt look, the listless hesitating manner the nervous di-trust, the senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note bis demeanour and conversation, and tlun say. is that a man to have his footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medic.l men nnd educators of youth paj sufficient attention to this subject ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this deca>; and having done so do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice ol the medical mart,- who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose life has been devoted to. the treatment of these cases? Reader, what is your answer ? Let ea.d: one answer for himself. Parents sec their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become emaciated old young men, broken down in health, en feebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; ye one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medlcai man, habituated to the treatment a"-.-Continuous supervision otsueh ca-cs, wi i t most instances, succeed in wardius r> 4 ' the impending doom of a miserab)* rtl .c gloomy future, and by appropriate .rc-at menc restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy lifeD* - . Li L. SMITH,- of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those ari<ing therefrom his deculiar 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 wovtld be superfluous—(by this means many thousands oi patients have been whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried oft with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising this branch of his profe-siou for twenty-six years in these colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has ever yet happ> ned. 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 latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who L his patient.
