Medical. " Is there no nopo ? the sick man said; The silent doctor shook hia head." « While there ia life there's hope, he cried " ■£2groto,dim animas est, spes est." DR L. L. SMITH, {The only legally qualified medical ma* advertising} consults-— On all affections of the Nervous System (no matter from what cause arising). Ou all broken-down constitutions. On all diseases arising from early indiscretions. On Gout. Ou Rheumatism. IN 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 should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills 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 hat sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith, our obligations to society at large, the welfare of ei»;r future offspring, and the duty, we owe to ourselves forbid procrastination, and point out to us. not to war M" *he ravages break out in our constitutions. Before negociating with a merchant, before engagiug with a confidential clerk, before employing a barriste r, a careful man makes enqairies as 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 and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest man, whoBC 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 P Have I not for years pointed out to them that 7, Dr L, L. 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 I tnis reason that I step out of the ethics of 1 the profession and advertise, to give thbse who 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 especial study, Dr L. L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has been in Melbourne twenty-four [years in full practice on Nervous Diseases Loss of Power & Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout and Rheumatism Dr L.
