'Is there no hope ? the sick man said; The silent doctor shook his head." • While there is life there's hope, he cried.' " Mgroto, dum animas est, spes est. 1 " DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified medical mai» advertising ) C O N S V I T s — On all affections of the Nervous' System (no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscre* tions. On Gout. On 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 soul idea would be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we alfeady have, or combating the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good exterior as he can, rtill is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world.

Smith, am the only legally qualified medical 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 thai I step out of the ethics and ad* vertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover, who hasmade thishisespecial study. Dr. L. L' Smith is the- only legally quaU* fied medical man advertising,' and he has been in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Diseases .Loss of Power ana Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition, Ghout and Rheumatism Dr. L.
