Medical. JUST PUBLISHED (NEW EDITION) Price One Shilling (post, twopenoa extra) in any stamps. DR. LA MEET'S 'Work on " The Physiology of Marriage " describes horr the powers of manhood are lost or suspended, how they can be re-invigorated and maintained until an advanced period of life, and is intended to enlighten thou sandy on most important subjects, in regard to which they are entirely ignorant. It also contains many valuable * nints and instructions (derived from a long and successful practice) for the treatment of the various disorders arising from hot climates, sedentary habits, or the follies and indiscretions of early life. Where a secret infirmity exists, involving not only the happiness of one life, but also that of others, reason and morality dictate the necessity of its removal, for it is a positive fact that premature decline of the vigour of manhood, matrimonial unhappinesa, compulsory single life, local and physical debility, etc., have their source in a grkat AND TBBRIELE CAUSE, the germ of which io planted in early life, and the bitter fruit tasted t-ojro afterwards.

CAUTION TO FUBCHASEBS. npHE value of this well-known Family JL Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of fifty years. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced spurious imitations, some of which in outward appearance so closely resemble the original as to have decided many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of such imitations. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are Genuine : — 1. In every case, the words JOHN STEEDMAN, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2. Each single powder has directions for the dose, and the words John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3. The name Steedman is always spelt with two " eb's." 4. The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors, at Is l|d and 2s 9d each. Sold by Kempthorne, Prosser, and Cq., Dunedin, Otago. Specialty! Specialists! Draw on Nature : she compels you *• honour tbe acceptance. & . THIRTY years since, when Dr Smith first commenced practice h«e, it was thought by medical men that to be a specialist was de« rogatory to the professional man, but this, like most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found rather to aid than to M "infra dig." to that profession wherein th« specialty was practised. Lallemand and Ricord in France, and Action in England, were fox years cried down by their medical brethren. Now and for many years past tfiey have been looked up to and quoted by ffrery man who pretends to have any knowledge oi! the particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves to. It was tha same with Erasmus Wilson, the " Skin Doctor," recently knighted by her Majesty. Years since it was the same with Dr L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Ricord) as a specialist. In all oases of diseases ana habits which produce symptoms of Nervous Affections, of Skin Eruptions, Prostration, and make human beings in« virile, or which unfit them to carry on the pur* poses of their being, or which demonstrates itself, on the other hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms of Affections ; in all of these cases how necessary it is to have the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetime to the studying and practising in this one branch of his profession. Hence now, after so many years, all minutira are familiar to him, and symptoms which (it is not unreasonable to suppose) may not strike the general practitionej at once, now, from constant practice and observation, make Dr L. L. Smith master of the subject. The medioal profession— that is, the more liberal-minded of them — have likewise recognised this fact, and Specialists now in every branch— oculists, aurists, syphilic, mental diseases, chest diseases, and in fact every portion of the human frame, has now some member of the profession who devotes his time to that and to none other. For instance, the "chest doctor" would on no account attend an ac« oouchementi and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise his patient to go to that doctor who is most famed for treating the disease requiring special skill. Dr L. L. Smith asks those who require threatment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, and sterility, whose frames and whose constitutions are shattered, to consult him as an expert. Thirty (30) years' practice in this colony, with a practice extending throughout not only the Colonies, but in India, China, Fiji, and even in England, he claims ought to be pulficient to cause every man or woman requiring such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Syphilographer, no other medical man has been able to have such large experience aa he possesses, and for other allied affectionssuch as Nervous Disease— no one in the profession has enjoyed so much public confidence.
