„„".lAvei-of great.men all remind us, - " We oan make our lives sublime ; I And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." ' . above is read wilh great interest by thousande JL ' of young men. It inspires them with Hope, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word a». fail. Alas! arty many, this is correct,— U true with, regard to the youth who has never abused his strength—and to the man who has never been "passion!* slave." But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his rigor; who has yielded himself up to the temporary tweet allurements of vioe, who has given unbridled license t& his passions—to him the above lines are bat mft reproach. What Hope pan be have ? What aspirations t What chance of, leaving his footprints on the eaods of time? For him, alas!.there is nought but dark despair and self-reproach for a lost life. For a:man to leave his footprints on the sands'of time, he must be endowed with a strong brain and atrvous power. He must possess a sound, vigorous, healthy, mind, in» healthy body—the power to, conceive,* this .energy, to execute! But look at out Australian'- youth! See the emaciated form—the TScantTobk—tha listless, hesitating manner—the nervous distrust—th« senseless, almost idiotic expression. Note his demeanor and conversation, and than aay, Is that a man to leave Ms footprints on the landioftimeP : .:,..•■ -. :■■ ■;■-.- „;• '.„■; Dd'jjarerit*; medioal men, and educators of youth pay toffioient■ attention to this subject? Do they •ver-ascertain the cause of this decay; and having done 10, do they (as a strict sense of duty demands) leekithe,skilled advice of the medical man, who has wade'thii branch of his, profoasion his particular' ipeciality, wbbse life has been .devoted to the treatmeht'of these cases? 'Reader,' what is your answer ?. Let mob one answer for himself. Parents sea tbeir progeny gradually fading before their sight, see them become emaoiated old young men, broken down in health, enfeebled, unfitted for tho battle of lifo ;'■ yet one word might save them, one. Bound and vigorous health-giving letter from a medical man, ; habituated to this1 treatment and continuous supervision of such eases, would, in most instanes, succeed in warding off the impending doom of a miserable and gloomy future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor, and ensure a joyous and happy life. . . DfL. I/. SMITH, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth <and fthose arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has >been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental, to Married Life.' His skill is available to all—no matter how many hudnreds or thousands <?f miles distant. His system of correspondence by letter is now so well organised and known, that comment would ;be •uperfiuous—(by this means many thousands oe patients have been cured, whom' ho has never seen and never known) j and it is carried on with such judicious supervision that though he has been practising: this branch on his profession for twenty-six years in these, colonies, no single instance of accidental discovery has eve? yet happened. When Medicines are required," these are forwarded in the same careful Banner without a possibility of Ihe contents of tbe parcel! being' discovered; "Plain and clear directions aecmpany these latter, and a cure is effected without even the physician knowing who is bis 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, h* inconvenience and expense of a personal visit. DE. L. L. SMITH, < 182, COLLINS STREET EAST, MELBOUENE, (Late the residence of the Governor.) COSSTOTATIOK FBB BY LeTXEB, £1. TTOLIO "WAT'S P ILLS To Professor Holloway— Sib,—l suffered from asthma for eighteen years •eeompanied with great difficulty of breathing, and •evere cough,, with spitting of blood. I was alfo afflicted with tiles. At different times I was treated t>j most nkilful physicians, and was afc length preDounced by them to be beyond cure;—as a last resource, I was induced to use your Pills and Oint_ent, and in the short space of a fortnight could walk about, and am now perfectly cured, to the as tonishment of all who knew inc. The immediate loss of muscular streugth and nervous energy is more particularly remarkable id renal than in most other diseases. Their deficient action for one day suffices to produce fever, hence the necessity for prompt aud efficient treatment. Holloway's Pills have the great merit of restoring any •uspended or diminished secretions, and of relieving any inflammation or congestion in the spleen, kidneys, or other subsidiary organs. Tbe tight, suffocating, anxious feeling, caused bj derangement of the heart, makes the sufferer look on present death as imminent. Holloway's Pills prove an efficient and ready remedy when the disturbed circulation depends on indigestion, flatulency, or debilitated nervous vigai. Persons suffering the disturbance of the heart, should take about six ol these Pills two or three times a week, according to •ireumstancea, to 'arrest the too active action of the heart. . ■ "''.'..'...■ Ague Inflammation Asthma Jaundice Bilious Complaints Liver Complaint Blotches on the Skin Lumbago Bowel Complaints Piles Colics ' Rheumatism Constipation of the Retention of Urine Bowels Scrofula, or King's Ev'i Consumption Sore Throats Debility .
