Medical, " Is there no hope ? the sick man said; Tbe silent doctor shook hi 9 head." " While there is life there's hope, he cried." " j22groto,dum animas est, spes est." DR L. L. SMITH, fThe only legally qualified medical man advertisingj consults — On all affections of the Nervous System (no matter from what cause arising). On all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. 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 sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills 1 we already have, or combating the effects ' likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and 1 that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obliga- . tions to society at large, the welfare of our future offspring, and the duty, we owe , to ourselves f 1 bid procrastination, and point out to >:s. not to wait till the ravages break n t in our constitutions. Before m^-riaiing with a merchant, I before engaging with a confidential clerk, before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as to their standing, their length of occupancy or residence ; and, in 1 tbe case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he 1 coiit-ults him upon. Strange to say, how1 ever, in the selection of a medical man, 5 the sufferer frequently omits these neces- ■ sary precautious and without regard so the fitness, qualification, experience and ability ■- for the particular ailnieut requiring treat3 ment, he consults the nearest man, whose ' experience and practice, perhaps, lies in ■ quite an opposite direction. 1 Is it astonishing that 0 many are driven f mad, are ruined in health, and are bank- • rupt in spirits, hope, and money ? Have ' I not for years pointed out to them that ; I, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally ' qualified medical man advertising in the ' colonies f Have I not also prosecuted, at 3 my own expense, these very quacks, and ' >X|iu:-ed the various nostrums they afe » selling, — such as Phosphodyne, Essence of ' I Ate, &c. — and had them analysed and 1 found them to consist of *' Burnt Sugar - and flavoring matter," and the certificates ! ■ 1 I have proved to be all forgeries. It is for ' tuid reason tbat I step out of the ethics of t the profession and advertise, to give those j who require the services of my branch an - ' opportunity of knowing tney can consult E ! a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, 1 who bas made this his especial study. 1 Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally I qualified medical man advertising, and he » ! has been in Melbourne twenty-four years t I in full practice on „ Nervous Diseases Loss ot Power & Debility 1 Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition B , Gout and Rheumatism B Dr L.
