Specialty! BpeelaHst#

Draw tii Nature: ibe e*mpelg you to beneur the acceptance.

rpHIBTY years since, when Db Surra 6rst -*. commericedpraotice here, it was thought by medical men that to be a specialist was derogatory to the professional man, bat 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. Lalletnand and fiicord m France, and Action in England, were for years cried down by , their medical brethren. Now and felt many years past they have been looked up to and quoted by every man who pretends tohavd any knowledge of the particular branch of the profession which these gentlemen specially devoted themselves to. It was the same with Brasmus Wilson* the " Skin Doctor « recently knighted by her Majesty. ' ' sJf!t M fVvf WM * be « Ba * wifeh Dr *> L > Smith, of Melbourne, who practised (as did LaUemand and Ricorf) as a tpeesa&t. In all oases 'of diseases a>3 hateV which produce symptoms of Nervous Affections, of Skin Eruptions, Prostration, and make human bein<ra mvinle, or which unfit them ta carry' on the purposes of their being, ©r which demonstrates itself, on the;otherhaad,in Eraptive Diseases and Secondary Forms ef Affections; in all of these cases how ndeessasy ft is to have the Specialist who has devoted his whole lifetime to the studying and practising in this one branch ol nis profession. Hence now, after so many years, all minutia are familiar to him, and symtoms which (it is not:unreasonable to suppose) may not strike the general practitioner at once 1 nO Z* S ol^ oonstailt practice and observation, make Da L. L. Smith muter of the euWect. The medical profession—that is, the more liberal-minded of them-have likewise recocnised this fact, and SpeelaMsts now in evert , branch - ocuKsts,, auristf, syphiKe, mental diseases, chest diseases, and in fact every pornon of the human frame, has nowsom* memm of the profession who devotes his time to that and te none ether. For instance, the "chest doctor " would on no account attend an accouchement, and the oculist would net think of settings broken kg; but each would advise his patwnt to go to that doctor who is most v?i * rßatin « the disease requiring special D ? *£' L J MI^ aAs those who re 9we treatm TL fo .f Weakn.ess, Prostration, Barrenness, and Sterility, whose frames and whose constitum^i ar / cooe oov attered ' *° conßult 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 Sphitographer, no 'other medical man has been able to have such large experience as he possesses, and for other allied affections—' such as Nervous Diseases— no one in the profession has enjoyed so nraeh public con uaenoe.
