"Is there no hope ? the sick man said j The silent doctor shook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he cried." " A'.groto, dum animats est, spes est." DR. L. L. S i.I IT H, (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising), CONSULT SOn all affections of the Nervous System (no matter fro what finite 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 "hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest Our regrets ave 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 that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discovea him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at largo, the welfare of our future offspring, and the duty we owe to ourselves forbids procrastination, and points out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negociating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk ; before employing a barrister, n 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 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, lie 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, J>r L. L. Swith, am lite onli let)ally </ualiJicd medical man advertsing in the colonics! Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums—such as Phosphodyue, Essence of Life, Ac.-and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring mutter," and the certificates I have PitovEn 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 tlicy can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study.

A LTHOUGH the modern Materia Medica includes many f\ valuable remedies for human afflictions, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases where the animal vitality is failing, Phosphorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work e'Tects such as nothing else will produce, and it possesses the irreat advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest re-action or depression. The question naturally presents itself, " Why is so valuable an element so little regarded and so_ seldom pre-, scribed-?" The only answer which can be given is:—lhat a certain difficulty has been found m so preparing it that its action may be kept under perfect control. Hitherto it has been used in almond and olive oils, in sulphuric ether, m rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substances; but however valuable it has been found in all the hitherto known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which have led physicians to nedect it for general purposes, and to employ it only in extreme cases, and after every other remedy lias failed. But a chemical process has now been by which its invaluable action on the human system may be realised without any of those drawbacks which previous modes of administration have invariably produced. csr CAUTION.— Pnospnonus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that, everv form where solid pahtici.es of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous. It is therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation of Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.
