Medical Drturci Nature i : stae compels y»n to bonaiur the aoceptsuiee. THIRTY years since, when Db Shit? first ' commenced practice here, it was thought by medidal men 'th'^t to be a Specialist was derogatory to the' professional man, but this, like most other innovations in scientific. and lay matters/w as found rather to aid than to be "infra? dig." to ■ that profession wherein the specialty, yW practised.' LaHemand and Ricord in rranoe,, and; Action in England; were for years cried down ; by their medical brethren. Now and. for^many they have been looked up to and quoted; by every man who pMtends to ha^e, any knowledge of the particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted! themselves to.' It was the' same with Brasmtis Wilson, the " Slrin Daeter," recently.knighted by her Majesty. Years since it Was the iam« with Dr L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, wlu> practised (as did Lallemand and Ricord) as a speeiaKst. ' In ail oases »f dfeeases awl hatoite whioh produce aymptoras of ; Nervous. Affeaftions, of Skin Eruptions, Prostration, and me£e human beings mvirile, or which unfit, them *• cany on the purposes of their bek^, or which demonstrates itself, on the pother hand, in Broptive Diseases and Seemdary Forms ef A^ecttons; in all of these -cases how n'eeessary ft is to have the Specialist who has devoted bis whole lifetime to the studying and praotisibg in this one branch of hifi profusion. Hence now; after so many yeara* all iminutire are famaiar to him, and symtoms which),(it'ißhdtiunreaßoriable to suppose) may not strike the; general practitioner at once, new, ffpin constant practice and observation, make Db L. L. SMmr master of the ssMeot. The medical profession— that is, the more libeni-mnided of them— have, likewise recognised, uas fact, SpeoiaHsti now in every branch — beufists, kunsis, syphilic, mental diseases, chest diseaaesi and in fact every portion of the human frame/ has' now some member of the profession 'who devotes his time to that ami ito none other. ' For instance, the ♦♦chest doctor " would on no account attend an aeoouohement, and the oculist would not think of setting a broken leg ; but each would advise his patient to goto that doctor who is most fanied for. treating the disease requiring special skill.' Db 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 ah expert. Thirty (80) years' practice in this colony, with a praqtioe 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 Spin'lographer, no other medical man has been able* to have such huge experience as he possesses, and for other allied affections — euch as Nervous Diseases— no one in the profession has enjoyed so much puUio confidence. . drl.l7smith.
