HEALTH AND CHEERFULNESS. II 0 L L 0 W AY’S PILLS, SOLD BY MR. SAMUEL BROWN, SOLE AGENT AT AUCKLAND. THE EXCITING CAUSE OF SICKNESS. 11HE blood is the life-sustaining agent. It furnisher the components of flesh, bone, muscle, nerve, ar.j integument. The stomach is its manufactory, <1)0 arteries and veins its distributors, aiid the intestines the channels through which the waste matter rejected in its production is expelled. Upon the stomach, the circulation, and the bowels, these Pills act simultaneously, relieving indigestion, purifying the fluids, and regulating both the secretions and the excretions. THE NATIONAL COMPLAINT. Dyspepsia is the most common disease among all classes in this country. It assumes a thousand shapes, and is the primary source of innumerable and dangerous maladies; but whatever its type or symptoms, however obstinate its resistance to ordinary prescriptions, it yields readily and rapidly to this searching and unerring remedy. SICK HEADACHE WITH LOSS OF APPETITE. A certain cure for headache, loss of appetite, and low spirits. These Pills may he taken without danger from wet or cold, and mpflre no restraint from business or pleasure. They strengthen the stomach, and piomote a healthy action of the liver, purifying the blood, cleansing the skin, bracing the nerves, and invigorating the system. DROPSICAL SWELLINGS AND TURN OF LIFE. This is the most distressing period in woman’s history, it destroys thousands, the whole of the gross humours collect together, and like a tide sweep away j health and life itself, if not timely and powerfully checked. The most certain remedy for all these dangerous symptoms is Holloway’s Pills. Armed with this great antidote, the fiery ordeal is passed through, and the sufferer is once more restored to the possession of unimpared health. These Pills are equally efficacious in all female complaints, and obstructions at the dawn of womanhood. DISEASES OF THE HEAD AND HEART. Why arc these diseases so Altai? The answer is self-evident because the first disordered action is neglected, or the means for its rectification are misapplied. Neither need be the case at ihc present day, when these excellent Pills can be purchased everywhere, at a price which places them within the reach of everybody. No misapplication can occur if the printed directions arc properly attended to, as they invariably address themselves to the scat of the affliction, without deranging those organs which are already acting healthily. Holloway’s Pills arc the best purifiers, and therefore the surest proventatives of serious maladies; of which, if they be already established, they then become the most unremitting extirpators. NERVOUS DISORDERS. Any derangement of these delicate organs affect disastrously both the body and the mind. lo the nervous invalid, Holloway’s Pills arc an article of vital necessity. They impart tone and vigour to the internal organs, and consequently lo the nervous system, which pervades and connects them. Hence their marvellous cures of hysteria, low spirits, spasms, fits, headache, nervous twitchings, and other kindred complaints, which are all radically removed by the use of these invaluable Pills. N.B.—Directions for the guidance of patient* in every disorder are affixed to each box. “ Though fools spurn Hymen’s gentle powers, Wo who improve his golden hours By sweet experience know That marriage, rightly understood, Give's to the tender and the good A paradise below.”— Cotton. nnnEITE arc many thousands of persons who pine away A in this colony, and allow the canker worm of disease to cat into them, because they dare not confide in their medical adviser. It is not in every ease that they doubt the skill of the medical man with whom they have been constantly in communication, but it is that they inwardly shrink from exposing their weakness to him. How many are there who have been under treatment for years for a disease which lias puzzled the different surgeons of the day, and the origin of which cannot even be surmised by medical men, still one treatment is persevered with after another in the vain hope of overcoming the affection. The patient receives no benefit from the various treatments ; he languishes, his mind gives way, ho becomes hypochondriacal, avoids society, loses all hope, and if he does not become insane, lie pines and dies. What has been the cause of this ? Simply, in the first place, want of confidence in his medical adviser on the part of the poor unfortunate victim of a debasing passion,,so that the patient will not tell how lie himself has enpmtldred these infirmities ; and, secondly, be-. cause of tliriinability, in consequence of want of practice in these unhappy cases in the medical man (otherwise skilful) who is thereby unable to discriminate the cause, and therefore unable to cure those patients “ Who woo the means of weakness and debility'.” Dr. L. L. SMITH, it is well known, has given nearly the whole of his time to the study of these diseases. He has Had large practical experience in the treatment of them, even before his arrival in this colony. He was pupil, and afterwards assistant, to the celebrated Dr. Culverwcll (since dead), and during eleven years in this colony lie has continually practised in this branch of his profession. Dr. L. L. Smith does not require to vaunt or praise himself here; he certainly is an advertiser, and lie does not deny the fact. He considers it better to openly do so, and pay for it, than humbug about as the majority of his medical brethren do to obtain a practice. He thinks it more honourable and more straightforward. But without praising himself, he may point with a becoming pride at the number of cases continually passing in review before him, and tbo success which lias accompanied his practice. One fact alone is worth more than a thousand assertions. He lias been eleven years in an advertising practice; during the whole of that time, lie asks, has there ever been one case of mal praxis or want of knowledge, or carelessness in His profession, that has ever been brought against him, much less sustained? If not, can the public be any longer gulled by' Hie sophistries of those whose interests it is to promulgate and circulate reports prejudicial to him in order to ob- , tain a modicum of practice? But not only does Dr. I Smith glance at tlie above with pride, but he , challenges openly any one to say' that he ever betrayed, by word, look or deed, His patient’s secret. The honor and confidence of His patient has been Held as sacred by Dr. Smith. The thinking portion of the public can imagine what must have been during the last eldven years, and is still the extent of the practice of Dr. L. L. Smith, and yet lie fearlessly' asks can any man point and state “ you betrayed the confidence I reposed in you in the consulting room.” To those, then, who shrink from exposing their disease to their medical man, to those who are nervous, debilitated, and physically exhausted, but who would rather die than confide personally their case to their medical man, Dr. Smith’s system of correspondence by letter is admirably adapted, inasmuch in confiding in Dr. L. L. Smith they have eleven years’ guarantee of honour, skill, ability, practice in this colony in this particular branch of his profession, and a guarantee of the sacredness of his regard to reticence and the trust reposed in him ; and thirdly, they have all the advantage of a consultation without the inconvenience of a personal interview, and the shame that many feel in detailing their case to a fellow mortal face to face. Dr. L. L. Smith can be consulted by' letter. Fee £l. Dr. L. L. Smith is at home for consultation daily, punctually, mornings nine till eleven; evenings six till half-past eight, at his consulting rooms, 192 and 194, Bourkc-street East, Melbourne.

Smith’s out-door visiting fee is £1 Is., which must in all cases be prepaid, otherwise Dr. Smith will not visit. N.B. —Dr. L. L. Smith possesses extensive practical medical experience in the diseases of married life, nervous affections and debility, midwifery', and the diseases of women and children. Dr. L. L.
