Medical. " Is there no hope ? the sick man said; The silent doctor shook bis head." " While there is life tbere'3 iio;>c, be cried." " JEgroto, dum animas est, spes est." DR L. L. 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-dowr constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. < )n Gout. Or Rheumatism, JN these colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in "hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest. Our regrets are useless, our repining? futile. The sole idea siimld be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or eomliating the effects likely to result. Hide it as be may, put on as good an exterior as he can, still is ihe victim couscious tbat he is a living lie, aud hat c oouer or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at largo, tue welfare of our future offspring, and the duty, we owe to ourselves forbid j«rocrastination, aud poiuc out to us, not to wait till ihe ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk, beiore employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiiies 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 of 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 aud ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies iv quite an opposite direction. Is it astonishing that to 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 J, Dr L. L. Smith, am the only legally qualified medical man advertising in the colonies f Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the variou3 n strums they ai:e selling, — such as PhospioJyne, Essence of Life, &c. — anJ had v.. •< analysed i"^ found them to consist of " Burn* Su^ai and flavoring matter," and the certificates \ hive proved to be all ibrgenes. (t is for lUI3 reason thui 1 step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those who require the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and oue, moreover, who has made this his especial study, Dr L.
