Medical. " lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime; . And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time," * npHE above is read with' great interest by JL thousands of young men, It inspires them ith Hope, for in the bright lexicon of. youth there is no such word as fail. Alas I say many, this is correct,—is true with regard to the youth who has never abuEed his strength—and to the man who has nofc been " passion's slave " ■ But to/that youth—to> that man, who has wasted his vigour, who has yielded himself ud to the temporary, sweet allurements of vic° who has given unbridled license to his passions o him the above lines are but as a reproach! What Bo? B can he have? What aspirations? What chance of leaving Ms footprints on tho sands of lime ? For him, alas J 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 nervous power. ■ He must.iossesß a sound, vigorous, healthy,mind, in a healthy body the power to conceive-the enercv h execute! But look at our Australian youtliT fee the emaciated form, the vacant look, the Mess hesitating manner, the nervous distrust, tue senseless, almost idiotic expression. Koto his demeanour and conversation, and then say, Is ihat the man to leave Ms footprints on the sands of time. Do parents, medical ran «d educators ofyouth pay sufficient attention to this nuMectJ 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 a me. dical man, who has made this branch of his profession his particular speciality, whose lifa has been devcted to the treatment of theso cases ? Reader, what is your answer ? let each one sniffer for himself. Parents see their progeny fading gradually before their sight, see them become 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 treai« ment.and continuous supervision of such eases would, in most instances, succeed In wardino off he impending doom of_ a miserable and gloom* future, and by appropriate treatment restore the enervated system to its natural vigor,' and ensure a joyous and happy life, fir.
