Dr»w •» Nature: ilie csmpels rbu to Mi»ii»br tli* acceptance. n fIIHIRTY years sinoo, when Db Smith first JL commenced praotice 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 sdentifib and lay matters, 4 was 'found rather to aid thin to be ♦'infra dig." to that* prel««ion wherein the I.speoialigr was practised. Lallamand' and Ricord in France, and Action in England, were for years, cried down by? their medical brethren. Now and, for many years part they have been looked up to and quoted by every man >who pretends to have any knowledge of the particular branch of the prof ession which thece gentlemen specially devoted theiQeelves tol It' was the _ same with' Erasmus Wilwn, the « Skin Dtetcr." 5 recently knight by te* , '^^' I Years since' it ' was r tiie same with Dr L. L. Smith, of' Melbourne, who practised (as did Lallemand and: Rieordt). as a' fpeeiaHst. ■ In ail oases of disaases aad habits wniob produoo symptoms pf r Nervous Affecttons, of 'Skin Eruptions, Prostration, qnd make human beings .. invirjle, or which unflt them U. carry on the II purposesof their . being, or which demonstrates " itself, on the |othe.r h«md, in Eruptive Disease! and Secondary Forms of AJBfcctions; in all of these cases how neeeswry ft. is to, have the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetime to 1 the studying and practisfegia this 6h« branch of his profession. Hence now, after so many years, all minutfo are ftmfliarto him, and symtoms which j (it is netjunreasonable to suppose) may not strike the general practitioner at orioe, now, from constant praotice and observation, A make Db L..L. Smith master of the subject. " The medical profeasion-rthat is, tbe more liberal-minded of them— have likewise recognised this fact, and Speoialiste now in every branch — oouKsts, auruts, syphiiio, mental diseases; ohest diseases, and in fact every portion of tike human frame, has now gome memk ber of tbe profession who devotes his time to tbat and to none other. For instance, the "ohest doctor " would on no account attend an accouohement, and the oculist would net think of setting a broken kg ; but each would advise 3 his patient to goto that doctor who is most famed for treating the disease r«quirin£ special 1 skill. Db L. L. Smith asks those who require treat* ment for Weakness, Prostration, Barrenness, I > and Sterility, whose frames and whose oonstitu- I > tions are shattered, to consult him as an expert. I Thirty (30) years' praotice 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 aim either , personally or by letter. As a SphilograßHer, no other medical Man has been able to fejwve such large experience as he possesses, and 'for other allied affectiousrsuonas Nervous Diseases— no one in the profession has enjoyed so much pubiio confidence.
