"Is there no hope ? the sick man said; The silent doctor shook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he cried." " JEgroto, dum animas est, sprs est." DR. L. L. SM I T IT, (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising), CONSULTS- * On all affections of the Nervous System (no matter fro ■what c.iuse arising.) On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. On Rheumatism. IN those colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effects likely to re suit. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious tliat he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discovei him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to Society at large, the welfare of our future offspring, and the duty we owe to ourselves forb.'s 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 hi# legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business lie consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary 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 P Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the onhj legally qualified medical man odvertsing in the colonies? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums—such as Phosphodvne, Essence of Life, &c.—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 and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study. Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on NERVOUS DISEASES LOSS OP POWER AND DEBILITY SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS WANT OF CONDITION GOUT AND RHEUMATISM Dr. L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter—Fee, Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. Dk. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins-street, East, (Late the Residence of the Governor), MELBOURNE.

" Will he universally studied and appreciated by all true lovers of our fallen humanity, by the philanthropist, and by the legislator."—Sydney 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 mauner 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 I'vlegrajih. " Deal> with an important subject, of which nonprofessional men might with advantage know more."— Melbourne llerald. "Contains all and every information it is desirable a child of either hex should know; judic'ously used, it should become a safeguard against the many rocks found in the sea of life, upon which so many young people founder."— St. .4•.•nand 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 ail reasoning men and women."—Wangaratta 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 E.fjirefs. '• 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 same 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 of these evils, the causes of which do not often trouble the medical practitioner, whose chief duty, generally, consists in curing diseases. Dr Beaney takes a philosophical view of tlie cause.* 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 by lengthy extracts from high authorities, so acceptable to the general reader, who, at the risk of being cliarged 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 haudles his subjects delicately and firmly, without being offensive; lie 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 rej»ay 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."— Murruruudi Timea. "The Generative System, 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 Deglected by medical men of standing and position, and therefore used and abused by charlatans. Tlie volume coutains 326 page". Parents will find most valuable information in it, which may aid them in rearing np a family in a healthy state, when without such knowledge iliey might see their children perish without ever Buspeet-t-njj any cause."—Coi'mcall Chronicle, Laimceston.
