"Is there no hope ? the sick man said; Tbe silent doctor Bhook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he cried." " JT.ijroto, Hum animas est, spec est." D 11. L. L. SMITH, (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising), CONSULTSOn all affections of the Nervous System (no matter fro what cause arising.) On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. IN these colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in " Lot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest Our regrets are useless, our repiniugs futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ilis we itlready have, or combating the effects likely to re suit. Hide it as he nifty, put on os good an exterior ns he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discovcJ him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, the \velfare of our future offspring, and the duty we owe to oorselviS forbjJs procrastination, and points out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk ; before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as to their standing, their length o occupancy or residence; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection cf a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necc-ss.vry precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest medical man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, IV L. L. Sn-ith, am the onhj legally qualified medical w»i advertising in tiie colonies? Have I not also prosecuted, at 107 own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums —such as Phosphodyne, Essence of Life, kc.— and had them analysed and found them to consist of "Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I.have proved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession cud advertise, to give those who require the services of my hr.mch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who hiss made this his especial study. Dr L. L.

GENERATIVE SYSTEM: AND ITS FUNCTIONS LN HEALTH AND DISEASE, BY JAMES GEORGE BEAM, F.R.G.S.E Formerly on the Medical Staff of Her Majesty's Military Forces, the Turkish Contingent, and Royal Victorian Artillery Regiment. Senior Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital. FIRST DIVISIONThe Generative Organs, and their Functions in their Normal Condition. SECOND DIVISIONThe Generative Organs, and their Functions in their Abnormal Condition. PUBLISHER: F. F. BAILLIERE, 104, COLLINS STREET, EAST, MELBOURNE. " Will be universally studied and appreciated by all true lovers of our fallen humanity, by the philanthropist, and by the legislator."—S'/dne;/ Morning Herald. " The Generative System takes a sweeping view of the danger into which bad example and uneducated instincts lead the youth of the colony."—Melbourne Age. " The manner in which it is got up is a credit both to the colony and to all concerned in it." —Melbourne Argus. " A work for men alone, relating as it does to matters of which they ought not to be in ignorance.—Melbourne Daily Telegraph. " Deals with au important subject, of which nonprofessional men might with advantage know more."— Melbourne Herald. "Contains all and every information it is desirable a child of either hex should know; judiciously used, it should become a safeguard against the many rocks found in the sea of life, upon which bo many young people founder."— St. ArnavA Mercury. "It is an undoubted fact that more disease and misery is engendered in families in consequence of the ignorance that prevails about this subject, than from drinking. We advocate the perusal of this work by all reasoning men and women." —JFangaratta Dispatch. "Calculated to improve the knowledge and elevate the ideas of the masses.—Bendigo Advertiser. " This work has been written with a desire to alleviate much of the misery caused by imperfect knowledge of the functions of the organs of reproduction. To those not familiar with this important subject, it is clear that definite information of a physiological character will be found of inestimable advantage, by supplying intelligent guidance in the conduct of sexual life, and to those we advise the perusal of so valuable a book.—Marlborough Express. "The last new work goes elaborately into the evils, mental, moral, and social, connected with the violation of natural laws; and it refers at length, to the carelessness of parents, and to the some fault in school-masters—in fact, the arguments apply to all who have the care of youth of both sexes. It deals copiously with the laws of prevention medical practitioner, whose chief duty, generally, consists in curing diseases, Dr Beaney takes a philosophical view of the causes that lead to certain dangers when the laws of health are violated. This makes his works, which are generally written plainly, but forcibly, and are supported the general reader, wbo, at the nsk of being charged with prurient curiosity, feels desirious of looking into these important matters. We can recommend the work in particular to all classes for none need be shocked by examining for themselves."— Pastoral Times. "Mr Beaney handles his subjects delicately and firmly, without being offensive; he lays the bare facts, and the consequences of early dissipation and folly, clearly before his reader; he gives the results of his long, varied, and extensive practices to the public, accompanied with good sound advice. Foremost amongst which is, 'Do not, in your suffering, and from a feeling of false delicacy, put your life, or, what is of more importance, your health, in the hands of quacks; but unbosom yourself to a respectable professional man.' The works in question will repay any one for their perusal, and, no doubt, were the facts which he explains better understood by the multitudes, the annual bills of lingering death, blighted hopes, and mortality, would be very considerably lessened."— Mttrrurundi Times. "The Generative Ststem, and its Functions in Health and Disease.—This work is a valuable addition to that class of medical literature which has, through false delicacy, been neglected by medical men of standing and position, and therefore used and abused by charlatans. The volume contains 32G page". Parents will find most valuable information in it, which may aid them in rearing up a family in a healthy state, when without such knowledge ihey might see their children perish without ever suspecting any cause."—Corneal! t'hronwle, Lauueeaton,
