Medical. Specialty ! Specialists ! Draw on Nature : sbe compels you to honour the acceptance. THIRTY years 6ince, when Db Smith first commenced practice here, it was thought by medical men that to be a specialist was derogatory to the professional man, but this, like most other innovations in scientific and lay matters, was found rather to aid than to be "infra dig." to that profession wherein the specialty was practised. Lallemand and Ricord in France, and 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 particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves to. Id was the same with Erasmus Wilson, the " Skin Doctor," recently knighted by her Majesty. Years since it was the same with Dr L. L. Sjiith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and Ricord) as a specialist. In all coses 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 tbe other hand, in Eruptive Diseases aud 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 minutiae 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 subjeot. The medical profession — that is, the more liberal-minded of them — have likewise recognised this faot, and Specialists how 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 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 most 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 such skill as is alluded to above, to consult him either personally or by letter. As a Sphilographer, no other medical man has been able to have such large experience as he possesses, and for other allied affectionsMich as Nervous Diseases — no one in the pro* fcirsion has enjoyed so much publio confidence.
