'LA MERT'S Work on "The Physiology of Marriage " describes how the powers of 'manhood are lost or suspended, how they can be re-invigorated and maintainpd until an advanced period' of life, and is 11 * intruded to enlighten thousands on most importiuit subjects, in regard to, which they are entirely ignorant. It alt-o contains many valuable hints find instructions (derived from a long !>ni! successful practice) for the treatment of tbo various, disorders arising from _ hot climnto, sedentary habits, or the follies and indiscretions of early life. Where a secret infirmity exists, involving not ■ only the happiness of oue lif|2 f hut 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 unhappiness, compulsory single life, local and physical debility, etc., have their source in a great and terbiblß .cause, tho , germ of which is planted in early life, and the bitter fruit tasted long afterwards. . , t , - The above work may be obtained, by post; from Dr. LA MERT," 86 Latrobe street east, near Russell street, Melbourne.

' 1* > Specialty ! Specialists ! Draw on Mature : the compels you to honour the acceptance. npHIRTY years since, when, Dr Smith firafc JL commenced practice here, it was thought by medical men that to be a specialist was derogatory to the professional mau, but this, like most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found rather to aid than to be "iufra dig." to that profession wherein the specialty was practised. Lallemand and Ricord in France, aad Action in England, were for years cried down by their medical brethren. Now and for many years past they have been looked up to and quoted by every man who pretends to have any knowledge of the particulai branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves to. It was the 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 cases of diseases and habits .which produce symptoms of Nervous Affections, of Skin Eruptions, Prostration, and make human beings invirile, or which unfit them to carry on the purposes of their being, or which demonstrates itself, on the other hand, in Eruptive Diseases and Secondary Forms of Affections; in all' oi 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 I years, all minutias are familiar to him, and symtoms which (it is not .unreasonable to suppose) may not strike the general practitioner at once, now, from constant practice and observation, make Dr L. L. Smith master of the subject. The medical 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 eJme member of the profession who devotes his time to that and to none other. For instance, th? 11 chest doctor " would on no account attend aa accouchement, and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise his, patient to go to that doctor who is mo6t famed for treating the disease requiring special skill. Dr L. L. Smith asks those who require treatment 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; his claims ought to be sufficient to cause every man or woman requiring auch skill as is alluded, to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Sphilographer, no other medical man ' thas been able to have such large experience as he possesses, and for other allied affectionssuch as Nervous Diseases — no one in the profession- has enjoyed bo much public confidence.- ' DR L.
