SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical man advertising) CONSULTS— On all affections of the Nervous System no matter from what cause arising), On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising rota early indiscretions. On Gout. Un Rheumatism. In these colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in "hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repinings futile The sole idea should be tho chances we possess of remedying tho ills we already have, of combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as cjootl an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, tho welfare of our future offspring, and the duty we owe to ourselves forbids'procrastination, aud points out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. Beforo negotiating with a merchant, beforo engaging with a confidential clerk, beforo employing a barrietor, a careful man makes enquiries as to their standi ig, their length of | occupancy or rosidenco; and, in the case of a i legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting tho I individual business ho consults him upon. Strange to say, however, iu tho selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions, and without regard to tho fitness, qualification, experience and ability or the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt iu spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L L Smith; m the only legally qualified medieai man advertising in the colonies ? ■ Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they are selling,—such as Phosphodyne, Essence of Life, &c—and had them analysed and found them to consist of " Burnt Sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have proved to be all forgeries. It is for this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertiseto give those who require the service of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his especial study. I Dr L. L, Smith is the only legally qualifi medical man advertising, and ho has been J in Melbourne 24 years in full prajtico od Nervous Diseases Loss of Power '& Debility Syphilitic Affections . Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism. Dr L. L, SMITH can be consulted by letter—Fee, £1. Medicines forwarded to all the colonies. ESTABLISHED NEARLY GO YEARS. •HOWELL'S BALSAM of ANISEED. -t COUGHS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, &o. . ■ HMGmihoat.Netley, Wick, Scotland..... 'Dear Sir,— Having had a most distressing and severe cough, which caused ine many sleepless nights and restless days, I was»eeommended by His lordship the Earl of Caithness to try your most invaluable Balsam of Aniseed, a'd I can assure you with, the first dose I found immediate relief, even without having to suspend my various duties,'and the first small bottle completely cured me; therefore I .have. the greatest confidence in fully recommending it to the million. (Signed) 'W. Linzell; HM Gunboat, Netley.' EXTRAORDINARY COUGH REMEDY--A lady writes': 'When you see Mr Powell tell him that I would not be afraid to face a Russian winter with his Balsam of Aniseed for a companion, although my lungs aro most susceptible,' An eminent clergyman in Lancashire writes: ' Having found Powell's Balsam of Aniseed a most excellent remedy for coughs, &c, I have been giving away bottle after bottle to the poor of my parish.' TNVALUABLE for BRONCHITIS and 1 ASTHMA. The Rev William Lush writes from Stixwold Vicarage, Horncastle: ' For the past 12 years 1 have been in the habit of using myself, giving away, and recommending your Balsam, I should not be exaggerating if I said I have never known it to fail. Whenever I have had a cough I have used it in preference to anything else, and again and again it has cured me,' LOOSENS the PHLEGM IMMEDIATELY. The Dean of Westminster's Verger writes: ' I was advised to try the Balsam of Aniseed; I did, and have fonud very great relief, It is most comforting in allaying irritation and giving strength to the voice,' Lionel Brough, Esq, 'die emineut actor, writes: ' I think it an invaluable medicine for members of my profession, and have always recommended it to my brother and sister artistes.' The effect of One Teaspoonful taken in a little water on going to bed is extraordinary. '11, Hart-street, Bloomsbury. The Rev Dr H. Roberts writes: * I think it only right to inform you that I have recommended to very many families, and have used most efficaciously in my own, your Balsam of Aniseed; and the assurances I have received of its worth as a cure for coughs and asthma, under various guises, justify my communication of the facts to you.' \fn THOMAS A, SHERIDAN, of Elphin, »'! Ireland, writes: 'For three days and nights I was a stranger to rest and sleep; rdcked and almost killed with a hard cough, I tried all kinds of remedies, but to no purpose. At length a friend kindly supplied me with a quarter of .a small bottle of your Balsam, and told me to try it, which I accordingly did. The result has been miraculous, The cough has almost ceased, and I have once more found out (thanks lo your Balsam) what it is to enjoy sleep and life. 1 NO FAMILY SHOULD be WITHOUT it in the WINTER. Francis Murphy, Esq., of Woodstock House, writes to Mr Conolly, Chemist, Athy; ' I take leave to acquaint you that Powell's Balsam of Aniseed, which I purchased of you, and which you so highly recommended, is an effective cure of Coughs. I have used it myself and my family, and found it a certain remedy, and have known it to relieve inveterate chronic coughs amongst my friends. Therefore I can in truth pronounce it an invaluable medicine.' T lON, NET, and MOUSE, TRADE MARK.
