A WARNING. " Ills small at first grow larger from delay, And slowly eat their sad and cankering way; Thus by excessive throes the frame is torn, Till health and peace of mind alike are gone." —Db. Darwin. rpHE writer desires, nay, feels it his duty, to state J that he has given a large amount of time to the study of the symptoms and treatment of those diseases which, from a false feeling of delicacy, medical men have neglected in their studies. It is a matter to be regretted that the public at large are so little acquainted with the anatomy of the more secret parts of our organization, and yet, when we consider how much misery is entailed on mankind by this want of knowledge, it must suggest itself to the mind of every reflective person as being of the greatest import. Man cannot err or commit any offence to the laws of Nature without Dame Nature sooner or later resenting the affront, and when she does she pays her debt back with frightful interest. When a student at Paris Dr. L. L. Smith had ample opportunities of making these diseases his peculiar study. Again, Dr. Smith was assistant for some years to the celebrated Dr. Culverwell of London. On the continent all morbid feelings of delicacy in this matter, all foolish prudery, are banished, and medical men address themselves to the subject, and make these important diseases their especial study. Dr. L. L. Smith has, in like manner, devoted many years to the study of nervous debility proceeding from indiscretions, sterility, and also in all those cases which render married life a burden and a curse rather than a round of continual happiness. Many practitioners may be well read up (in theory) in these diseases, but the majority of these cases require the attention, or, at least the advice, of one whom it is well known must have a thorough practical knowledge of them, and not only a practical knowledge of the disease, but also a practical knowledge of the influence of this climate on diseases of females, which latter is most essential to their treatment.

Dr. Smith has been now nearly eleven years practising in this colony. As a general practitioner his reputation has spread throughout the whole of the neighbouring colonies. He has, however", more particularly devoted his attention to the diseases of women and children, diseases of the eye, dyspepsia, syphilitic and nervous affections, diseases of the skin, and to the treatment of those diseases which have the symptoms enumerated in the commencement of this notiee. CONSULTING FEE BY LETTER, £\, Dr. L, L. Smith can be consulted personally daily mornings and evenings. Consultation fee (including medicine), 10s. Consulting Rooms, 192, 192-*, and 194 Bourke street.
