Medical. "Is there no hope ? the sick man said; The silent doctor shook his head." " While there is life there's hope, he cried." « 2Eqroto,dum animas est, spes est." DR L. L. SMITH, (The only legally qualified medical man advertising} CONSULTS — On all affections of the Nervoup 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 eolcnie?, those excesses which we have iudulged in " hot ycuth " tell upon us with fearful interest. i Our regrets are useless, our repining? futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effots likely to result. Hide it as he may, put on as good an exterior as he can, sti.l is the victim conscious that he is a livim, lie, and hat sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, tbe welfare of our future olFspring, and the duty, we eve to ourselves forbid procrastination, and point out to us, not to wait till the ravages break out in 011 r constitutions. Before negociating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk, betore employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries a^ to their standing, their length of occupancy or residence ; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities ot transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautious and without regard so the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for 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 in spirits, hope, and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that /, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the eolo?iies f Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they Hie selling, — such as Phosphodyne, Essence of Life, &c. — and had thc-m analysed and found them to conaist of " Burnt Su^ar and flavoring matter," and the certifies 3 I have proved to be all forgeries. It is rjtnis reason that I step out of tne ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those wuo require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, who has made this his esDecial study, Dr L. L, Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne Iv, en*y-four years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Loss of Power & Debility Syphilitic Affections Want oC Condition Gout and .Rheumatism Dr L.
