IN these colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in "hot youth" tell upon us with fearful interest, • Our regrets are useless, our repiaingp futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combating the effects likely to result.

Before negociating with a merchant, 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 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 in 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 f 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? 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 T have proved to be all forgeries. ■ It is for I this reason that I step out of the ethics of the profession and advertise, to give those j who require the services of my branch an j opportunity of knowing they can consult I a legally qualified man, and one, moreover, ' who has made this his especial study.
