«' Lives of great men all remind us, — - "We can malce our lWes sublime; . And, departing, leave'behind us Footprints on the sands of time." rPHE above is read with great interest by thousands 1 of young men. It inspires' them withj Hope, for in the aright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Alas! say many, this is correct, —is true with regard' to the 'youth who has never abused his. streugth—and to the man who has never been " passion's slave." But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has' given unbridled license to his passions—to him the above lines are *>ut as a reproach.', What Hope oan he have ? j What ' aspirations ? What chance ot leaving his footprints on the sands of time ? For him, alas! there is nought but dark despair and self-reproaoh/or a lost life. For • man to; leave his footprints on the sands of time, be .must be endowed with a strong brsiin and hervbus:power.Y He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy mind, in a healthy body—the power to conceive, the energy to execute! But. look at our Australian youth! See the emaciated form—the vacant look—the listless, hesitating manner—the nervous distrust—the senseless, almost idiotio expression. Note, his demeanor and conversation, and (hen say, Is that a man to leave Aw footprints on the sands of time ? '"l Do parents, medioal men, and educators of youth ;payrsuffioient attention to this subjeot ? Do they ever ascertain the cause of this decay; and having done so, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) seek the skilled advice of the medical man 3 who has made this branch of his' profession bis particular speciality, whose life has. been devoted to the \ treatment of these cases ? Reader, what is your answer P Let each one answer for himself. /Parents' see their progeny gradually fading before, their sight, see them bepome emaciated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for the battle of life ; yet one word might save them, one sound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, habituated to the treatment and continuous supervision of such cases, would, in most instances, succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future,"and hy appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy: He. Dr. L. L. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those, arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted; to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Marrieo Life. His skill is available' to all—no s matter how many hundreds or thousands cf miles distant. His system ,of correspondence; by, letter is now : so well organised and known, that comment 3 would be 'superfluous—(by this means many'thousands of patients have been cured, whom he has never seen and never known) ; and it is carried on with such judicious; supervision, that though he has been: practising this branch of his profession for twenty-six years in these, colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery, has ever yet happened. When Medioines ore required; these are forwarded in the same careful manner without a possibility of the oontents of the parcels being discovered. Plain and clear directions accompany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is his patient. To Men and Women with Broken-down Constitutions, the Nervous, the' Debilitated, and all suffering from any Disease whatever, Dr L. L. SMITH'S plan of treatment commends itself, avoiding, as it does, the inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. Aidrtit— _, DX. L. L., SMITH, 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOURNE.
